PRIVACY POLICY

DATA COLLECTION
We collect anonymous data from every visitor to the website to monitor traffic and research website trends via Visitor Analytics. For example, we collect information such as the internet protocol address, browser type, timestamp, and location. We also collect mapping data across the website which informs us of any particular webpage you’ve been on the website.
USE OF DATA
I will only use your personal information you voluntarily provided in the instance of sending out my newsletter. I use this newsletter to provide you with the information I think you will need on my books, signings, basically anything that will interest you as a reader.
We employ industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorised access of data about you that we store, including personal information.
We do not share personal information which you have provided to use without your consent unless:
– It is legally required.
– We believe it’s needed to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues.
– Otherwise protect our property, legal rights, or that of others.
Stephanie Hudson website operates solely from the United Kingdom. If you’re visiting the website from outside the U.K., you agree to any processing of any personal information you provide us according to this policy.
Hudson Indie Ink will not contact you by email or other means unless you’ve voluntarily opted into the email subscription service or made direct contact in the first Instance. You may opt out of my mailing list at any point.
SHARING OF DATA
We don’t share your personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymised data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve Hudson Indie Ink’s website and service. We currently use Visitor Analytics (traffic analysis, SEO optimisation) and Wix Shoutouts (mailing list management).
We also use social buttons provided by services like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Your use of these third-party services is entirely optional. We are not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices of these third-party services, and you are responsible for reading and understanding those third-party services’ privacy policies.
We employ and contract with people and other entities that perform certain tasks on our behalf and who are under our control (our “Agents”). We may need to share personal information with our Agents in order to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, our Agents do not have any right to use Personal Information or other information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information with our Agents.
We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the transferred business assets. Moreover, if we, or substantially all of our assets, were acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of us or our assets may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
We may amend this Privacy Policy from at any time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make major changes in the way we collect or use information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the Website or sending you an email. A user is bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when he or she uses the Services after such changes have been first posted.
VISITOR ANALYTICS
Visitor analytics is a simple website analytics service which measures the traffic and visitors’ general details of the customers’ websites. Collecting these statistics, a website can make their visitors’ experience better (e.g. which pages they visit and when, where they are approximately located, where does a user land first or if they are coming from a specific referral).
As a website owner using Visitor Analytics, we are using cookies to collect data about visitors’ device type and screen size, approximate location, browser, operating system, internet protocol address, page visits, bounce rate, conversions and popular content on the website. All this data is pseudonymised and Visitor Analytics will never use the collected data to identify individual users or to match it with additional information on an individual user. Each visitor has control over the cookie’s placement.
