What Information Does This Site Collect?
Newsletter or Blog:
If you voluntarily sign up for the Sophie’s Circle newsletter or the Time to Write blog, this site will record your email address and first name. You can refuse to supply personal information, but that will exclude you from certain related activities such as receiving newsletters, blogs, and free offers. When subscribers click on a link in one of my emails or fills out a form, the site may record this information (see below how this information is used).
Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time.
Giveaways and Contests:
If you enter a giveaway, your email address and first name is collected. If you win a physical prize, you will be asked to give your name and physical address.
Non-personal Information
This website may collect non-personal information about visitors when they interact with the site. This information may include the browser name, means of connection to the site, and other non-identifying information.
Cookies
This website may use “cookies” to enhance visitor experience. Typically, cookies may be placed on visitors’ hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Visitors may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to send an alert when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly.
How Is the Information Used?
Newsletter and blog subscribers’ names and emails will only be used for receiving the newsletters, the blog, or communication from Sophie Pembroke.
Giveaway entrants will be sent emails only about the giveaway, and may also be signed up for the newsletter or blog as part of their entry requirements (if stated).
Information on which email links are clicked on the most will help Sophie choose links that interest readers in future emails.
Sophie may use affiliate codes in some of the emails or on the site.
Sharing of Personal Information
Subscriber information is never shared with a third party. The only exception is that email addresses may occasionally be used to create lookalike audiences for online marketing. This in no way distributes the emails or signs subscribers up to any other services.
Third-party links
Sometimes Sophie will include third-party links through email or on the website. These sites have their own policies and you should read those before subscribing or purchasing from them.
Security of Information
All information is saved by Bluehost or Mailerlite and only Sophie can access them. Should a data breach ever occur, subscribers will be notified within 7 days.
Use of the Website by Minors
All subscribers must be 18 or older or have the consent of a parent or guardian.
