Your privacy is important to us. It is Jan Cavelle’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website, https://jancavelle.co.uk, and other sites we own and operate. This site was developed in conjunction with designers BuildByGo. We are registered with the ICO, which also provides help and information.
We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We also let you know why we’re collecting it and how it will be used.
We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
We do not sell your information publicly or with third parties, except as required or permitted by law, or for a legal, regulatory purpose, or to combat fraud.
Our website may link to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies, which may be different.
You are free to refuse our request for your personal information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services.
Your continued use of our website will be regarded as acceptance of our practices around privacy and personal information. If you have any questions about how we handle user data and personal information, feel free to contact us via our contact page.
Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted on this page.
This privacy policy is effective as of 1 May 2020.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Emails
When you email us directly or use our contact forms on the site, we will use your email address for the purpose of administering and responding to your query. We will not publish your email address on our site.
We will retain the content, email address and our reply to your email.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, as well as Google Analytics.
How long do we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your rights over your data
If you wish to be removed from any postal, email, phone, or other lists, please let us know by messaging us. Please provide us with your exact name, email address, mailing address, and phone. We will be sure your name is removed from the appropriate lists immediately.
As always, you can unsubscribe from any of our emails at any time via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you received from us.
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
