Who I share your data with
I only use your data for the purposes of contacting you, providing a quotation for work, ongoing communication and invoicing.

Furthermore, you can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
GDPR and security
What is the GDPR?
The GPDR (General Data Protection Regulation) policy applies to personal data that could identify you. Under GDPR you have the right to:
- be informed, automatically and immediately, that I will hold any data I’ve asked for
- access the data I hold about you, within a month
- have me rectify inaccurate or incomplete data, usually within a month
- ask me to delete your data
- restrict my processing of your data
- object to me processing your data
- not be subject to automated decision-making and profiling by me.
Security
When you contact a professional engaged in proofreading, privacy is a major concern. I am committed to ensuring that your information is always secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, I have appropriate procedures in place to safeguard the information I collect about you.
I do not use any paid online advertising; consequently, there will be no links between my business and your online activity.
I use HTTPS and SSL security on my website; you can verify this by looking at the uniform resources locator (URL) of my website. The ‘s’ in ‘https’ stands for secure, which indicates that my site is using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate. I use cookies minimally on the site. My site contains links to other websites but, once you have used these links to leave my site, I have no control over the sites on which you land. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement for each of these other sites.
