Privacy Policy

Last updated

1. Overview

This is a personal professional website. It publishes writing, speaking and life coaching information, and offers a few ways to get in touch. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, why it is collected, how long it is kept, and what you can ask to have changed or removed.

2. Information collected

Information is collected only when you choose to provide it, or when it is generated automatically as part of normal website operation.

  • Contact form submissions. When you send an enquiry, the form collects the details you enter, typically your name, email address, organization, and the message itself.

  • Technical and usage data. Standard information such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from your IP address, the page that referred you, and which pages you viewed.

No special category data, such as health, political or biometric information, is requested anywhere on this site.

3. How information is used

How information is used:

  • To read and reply to enquiries about writing, speaking, life coaching, or press.

  • To understand in aggregate which webpage is being read, so future work can be prioritized.

  • To keep the site secure, available and working correctly.

Personal information is never sold, rented or traded. It is not used for advertising, and it is not shared with third parties except the service providers listed below, who process it only in order to run this site.

4. Cookies and analytics

This site uses a small number of essential cookies required for pages, forms and preferences to function. It may also use privacy-conscious analytics to count page views and referring sources in aggregate, without building advertising profiles of individual visitors.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them may stop forms and embedded media from working as intended. If you add a cookie banner or a third-party analytics tool, describe it in this section.

5. Third-party services

Parts of this site rely on third-party providers. Each one processes only the data needed to do its job, and each has its own privacy policy that governs that processing.

  • Framer — Framer is used for website hosting, form handling and basic site analytics. Server logs and form submissions pass through Framer’s infrastructure.

  • Email delivery — Gmail is used to send replies to the email addresses supplied to deliver them.

  • Calendly — Calendly is used to schedule meetings, alert Nick of the scheduled meeting and send reminder emails to the scheduler.

6. How contact form submissions are handled

Enquiries sent through the contact form are delivered to a personal email inbox and read by Nick Peck. They are used to answer your enquiry and, where a conversation continues, to keep a record of what was agreed. They are not added to any newsletter list unless you explicitly opt-in.

7. Data retention

Enquiries are kept for as long as they are useful for the working relationship. Aggregate analytics data is retained in summary form only. You can ask for anything relating to you to be deleted, if you'd like.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal information:

  • Ask what information is held about you, and request a copy of it.

  • Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.

  • Ask for your information to be deleted.

  • Object to analytics collection, or withdraw consent you previously gave.

Email nickpeckauthor@gmail.com to make any such requests. Requests are answered within a reasonable period.

9. Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a professional audience and is not directed at children. Information is not knowingly collected from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has submitted information here, get in touch and it will be removed.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy will be updated when the site changes. For example, when a new form, embed or analytics tool is added. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be summarized here rather than applied quietly.

11. Contact

Questions about this policy, or about information held about you, can be sent to nickpeckauthor@gmail.com.
