This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit the Aria Ashbrook website (the "website"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

This is the official website of Aria Ashbrook. The website is published by Hellhound Press Limited (company number 14967429), which acts as the data controller responsible for your personal information.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact us at: [email protected]

The information we collect

We only collect information that we need. Depending on how you use the website, this may include:

  • Information you give us directly — such as your name and email address when you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Information collected automatically — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use the website. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy for full details).

We do not collect any payment information on this website.

How we use your information

We use your personal information to:

  • Respond to messages you send us through the contact form.
  • Send you our newsletter, if you have signed up to receive it.
  • Understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it.

Our legal basis for using your data

Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for sending you marketing emails (our newsletter) and for non-essential cookies such as analytics. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests — for responding to enquiries you send us and for keeping our website secure and working properly.

Newsletter and email marketing

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your name and email address are stored and managed using MailerLite, our email marketing provider. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email we send you.

Cookies and tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics, are only activated after you give your consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the trusted service providers that help us run the website and our mailing list, including:

  • MailerLite — for managing our newsletter.
  • Our website host — for storing and serving the website.

Each of these providers processes data on our behalf and is required to keep it secure. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.

How long we keep your data

We keep your personal information only for as long as we need it:

  • Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove you.
  • Contact form messages — for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, and a reasonable period afterwards.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
  • Ask us to delete your data.
  • Object to or restrict how we use your data.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time.
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, you have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
