Who I am:
This website is operated by ADH-Ste and you can contact me via the contact form on this site or by email at hello@adh-ste.com.
What personal data I collect and why:
I collect the following information to run the website and communicate with you:
- Contact form: information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message) so I can respond.
- Email subscriptions: your email address is necessary so you can be updated when new posts are published. I use Mailchimp to manage subscriptions and send emails. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting me at the email address listed at the top of this Privacy Notice.
- Comments: if you leave a comment, I collect the data shown in the comment form (such as your name and comment) and may also collect technical data such as your IPaddress and browser information to help with spam detection and site security.
- Analytics: I use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site (for example, pages visited, approximate location, device/browser, and how you found the site). This helps me improve the website and maintain complete functionality.
Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics and to help the site work properly. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar identifiers to measure and report on website usage.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can learn more about Google’s practices here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics using this browser add-on: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Who I share your data with
I share personal data with service providers only as needed to operate the website, including:
- Mailchimp (email subscription management and email delivery)
- Google (Google Analytics via Site Kit for website analytics)
I may also share data if required by law.
How long I keep your data
- Subscription data: kept until you unsubscribe (or until I remove it).
- Contact form messages: kept as long as needed to respond and for record-keeping.
- Comments: may be kept indefinitely unless you request removal.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
Depending on your situation, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and to withdraw consent (for example, by unsubscribing).
To make a request, contact me via the contact form or hello@adh-ste.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk/ .
International transfers
Some of the providers I use (such as Google and Mailchimp) may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, they use safeguards designed to protect personal data.
