What this site collects
This website collects personal information in one place only: the enquiry forms on the home, speaking and contact pages. When you submit a form, the following is sent:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number, if you choose to provide one
- The subject or event format you selected
- The message you wrote, and a preferred date if you supplied one
Nothing else about you is gathered. There is no account system, no newsletter list operating in the background, and no advertising or behavioural tracking on any page.
How that information is used
It is used to reply to your message and, where relevant, to arrange an interview, appearance or book club visit. It is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing. Enquiries are kept only as long as needed to deal with them and to keep a record of any booking that results.
Storage in your browser
This site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. It does use your browser's local storage for one purpose: remembering when you last closed the welcome message, so it is not shown to you again immediately. That value is a timestamp, stays on your own device, and is never transmitted anywhere. Clearing your browser data removes it.
Third-party services
Some parts of the page are served by other companies, and your browser contacts them directly when it loads this site. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google Fonts — serves the typefaces used throughout the site.
- Unsplash — serves the photographs used in the demonstration layout.
- YouTube — video is only loaded after you click play, so nothing is requested from YouTube until you choose to watch.
- WhatsApp — used only if you tap the WhatsApp button, which opens the app or web client with a pre-filled message.
Your rights
You can ask what has been stored about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to the email address on the contact page and it will be dealt with promptly.
Children
This site is not directed at children, and information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version is posted here with a new date at the top.
Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact page.
This policy is a starting point and should be reviewed by a qualified adviser before the site goes live.
