About Dottypink & Amy Seager
Dottypink is a freelance graphic design business owned by me, Amy Seager, a sole trader. As part of my freelance business, I know how important it is to be honest, trustworthy and professional for all my lovely clients. And when it comes to the nitty gritty, such as your privacy, there's no exception. I never sell, trade or rent email lists with anyone else, nor do I give your details away. It really is just me, sitting at my computer, working hard on your projects. And if you want to know more about what I do with, and how I handle your data, please read on:
TYPES OF DATA I COLLECT:
Website Cookies:
The Cookies used on my website are to remember items placed in any shopping carts to make experiences better, basic anonymous analytics for visitor experiences, and the collection of personal data such as names, email and IP addresses from the contact/download forms to make it easier to keep in touch. The information is used solely for my business purposes, product development and customer experience and is only shared with my third party website hosting service as part of my website user experience. If you do not wish Cookies to be used, please disable Cookies in your web browser settings but please be aware this may cause this website to display incorrectly. Please contact me if you would like more information regarding privacy and Cookies. This website is powered and hosted by Edit My Site and 123-Reg who have their own Cookie and privacy policies and I cannot accept any responsibility for this. Similarly, I accept no responsibility for for the content or issues with external websites that are linked to and from this website. My shop checkouts are powered by Etsy, Folksy and Not on the High Street and also Paypal at times. They operate their own Cookie policy too which I cannot accept any responsibility for and therefore I would recommend reading them to ensure you are happy with them.
Personal Data:
I collect emails, names and comments sent to me via contact forms, download forms and emails sent to me. Permission will be sought to collect this data in the form of an opt in on any contact form, newsletter form and download form and any information can be deleted, changed or viewed if requested by emailing dottypinkdesigns@yahoo.co.uk If an email is sent directly to me I will only use this to respond to the email and emails will be stored within my password protected email account provided by Yahoo who operate their own privacy policy. If you leave a comment on my blog then it will be visible publicly but I will not do anything with this data besides responding to your comment publicly also. I never trade, rent or sell any personal data and only use your personal data as necessary within the confines of my business. This includes: contacting you as requested, emailing you as requested, storing invoices for tax purposes, storing your data for mailing list and website experience purposes, sending purchased items to your address and communicating with you online via my blog and social media platforms. If you wish to view, change or have your information deleted, please contact me and I will be happy to help with this.
Mailing Lists:
When you sign up to the mailing list or to receive one of my downloads, I collect personal information to allow me to keep in touch. I use that information to tell you about stuff you’ve chosen to find out about, to contact you about projects we are working on together or to send you the downloads you have requested to receive. I don't share, rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses. I do use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver my newsletter. Within this, I gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help me improve my communications to ensure what I'm sending you is relevant, interested and not downright boring! For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings whenever you like by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of my emails, or by dropping me a line to ask to be removed.
Social Media:
Sometimes I use social media and other social apps to promote my services. I will never personally disclose any personal information to any of these companies and if we communicate via a social network private message, please be assured this will be within a password protected account. The social media platform or app that I am using may have access to your information so please take a look at their privacy policy for more information regarding this. If you wish to communicate with me on public forums such as Facebook pages or comment on public images such as Instagram then this will be available for the public to see and will be based entirely on your profile security settings which I have no control over. For further information regarding the social media policies, please refer to each platform for their policies. I am currently using Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter for my business. I cannot accept any responsibility for these external companies and sites.
Purchase Data:
When you purchase any of my products, such as downloads, premade logos or stationery, I will need to use your name, address data, email and contact number to complete the transaction. The transactions will be made through Etsy, Folksy and Not on the High Street who all have their own privacy policies (please click on the name links above to read these). I will need to keep invoices and purchase records for tax purposes but these will be stored online in a secure file on a password protected computer which is locked away. Within these records there are no financial details stored and I do not share your personal details with any other company aside from where the transaction was processed and this is purely to be able to complete the transaction.
ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
If you originally signed up to my mailing list or download or have communicated with me in any other way and you wish to view or change your data, or have it deleted, that is absolutely fine. Just email me with your request and I will be happy to help. All data held is kept electronically in password protected online storage on a password protected computer.
MY WORK:
Please note, as part of my work I build and design websites. To do this I sometimes use third-party website builders such as Weebly, Squarespace and Wix. These site builders have their own privacy policies in place so please refer to these for more information. As part of my website work, I do have access to my clients website dashboards where their data is stored. The data includes emails, messages and IP addresses as well as site referrals and statistics. This is the property of my clients and is password protected. I will never do anything with this data and it is purely part of my clients businesses. Any of the client websites I have built are the responsibility of my clients and they should have their own privacy policies in place for their businesses. Please refer to these or contact them for further information on this. I accept no responsibility for the privacy policies used by my clients on their websites or on the site builders used.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY:
This privacy policy may be updated and changed from time to time to comply with further laws or to ensure your data is protected and managed properly, so please do pop back to check you are still happy with my data processes and privacy policy. If you have any problems please do contact me for more information.
Phew, that's it! If you feel there is anything missing or wish to discuss my privacy policy further please just get in touch.
