…also known as Privacy & Cookies!
I know that being vulnerable, engaging in online media and reading reviews, there needs to be an element of care and trust. That’s why at October Jones Co, I’ve got your privacy in mind like a Witch’s familiar guarding a bubbling cauldron!
I want to be upfront about the information I collect. I also want you to know how I use it.
By using this site, you’re giving me your binding affirmation to follow the rules. If you’re unsure about anything, I recommend checking out the full details below…
What Information Do I Collect? 🕯
I may collect some spooky details (also known as personal data) when you visit October Jones Co. Here’s what that may include:
- Personal Information: When you sign up for my newsletter, I collect your name and email address. The same applies when you comment on posts or send me a message through our website’s contact form.
- Cookies & Tracking: Just like your favourite villains, I have a few tricks up our sleeves (and cookies on our site)! These cookies help me improve your experience, understand what you like to read, and make sure the site runs smoothly. You can choose to decline them if you’re feeling extra-creepy about it, but like Frankenstein’s Monster, some features of the site may not work as intended.
- Analytics: I may use Google Analytics (because even monsters like data) to track how visitors interact with the site. This helps me understand what content gets your ghostly attention and what I can improve.
How Do I Use Your Information? 🖤
Your personal data is used for the following magical purposes:
- Newsletter Subscription: If you’ve signed up for our newsletter, I’ll use your email to send you updates, spooky book reviews, and all the fangtastic news from the world of children’s literature.
- Improvement of Our Website: Like any good monster, I’m constantly evolving! Your data helps me make the site better, so your experience is as smooth as a Witch’s broom ride.
- Communication: I might need to reach out for specific requests, blog updates, or to respond to questions from you, my spooky coven.
Sharing Your Information with Others 🦇
I promise to keep your information under wraps like a vampire in the daylight. I will never sell your data to any third parties. However, I may share your information with:
- Service Providers like email platforms (MailChimp, for example) or site maintenance helpers who help me run the website smoothly.
- Legal Obligations: If I’m legally required to, we’ll share your information in truly scary situations (e.g., complying with the law).
How I Keep Your Information Safe 💀
Just like a locked crypt, I take your data seriously. I use a combination of technical and administrative measures to keep your information safe and sound from any digital ghouls who might be lurking. But sometimes we can do all the protection spells and still find a ghost in the machine; no system is 100% secure. While I do everything I can to protect your data, I can’t solemnly declare complete safety.
Your Rights Over Your Information 🖤
As a creature of the night, you have the right to control your personal information:
- Access: You can always ask me what personal data we have on file.
- Correct or Update: If your details change or you notice something isn’t quite right, you can update your info whenever you like.
- Delete: If you decide you no longer want me to have your information (you don’t have to, but I’ll miss you!), you can request that I delete your data from our records.
- Opt-Out: You can always unsubscribe from my newsletter or any promotional emails. You can also opt out of cookies in your browser settings.
Changes to This Privacy Policy 🦇
Just like a shifting shadow, this policy may change from time to time. Any updates will be posted here with a spooky date at the top, so keep an eye out!
By continuing to use October Jones Co after the changes, you’re agreeing to my new fangtastic terms. So be warned!
