This privacy policy has been compiled to show how information is handled on my website, www.susanneirving.com. 

Third parties I may use (for example Wix, Royal Mail, Paypal, Google Analytics,  MailChimp) have their own separate and independent privacy policies. 

​

Personally identifiable information I may collect
When you subscribe to my mailing-list and/or blog, leave comments, send messages or make purchases on the website, I will need to collect some personally identifiable information (PPI) - for example your name, email address, physical address or payment details - to provide the requested service. I would only collect the information that is needed for a task – I would for example not ask you for your address or payment details if you wanted to subscribe to my mailing-list or blog, but you would need to provide this information if you purchased a piece of original art or a print.

​

What about ‘cookies’?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your browser when you visit a website. They are typically used to keep track of the settings you have selected and actions you have taken on a site (for example which pages you visit, when and for how long). Cookies also help to monitor, analyse and improve the performance of a website.
