This information helps us understand how the website is used and identify technical problems.

The website is hosted on Wix. Wix may process technical information needed to provide, secure and operate the website.

Cookies and similar technologies may also be used. Where consent is required, you can accept, reject or manage these through the cookie settings shown on the website.

2. How we use your personal information

We use personal information only for the purposes described below.

Mailing list and book updates
If you join the mailing list, we use your name, email address and any recorded interest, such as fiction or non-fiction, to send book news, publication updates and selected articles.

Our lawful basis for this use is your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email or by contacting us.

Contact enquiries
If you contact us through the website, we use the information you provide to read, manage and respond to your enquiry.

Our lawful basis is normally our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. Where an enquiry relates to a proposed service or agreement, processing may also be needed to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Website operation and security
We may process technical information where needed to operate, maintain and protect the website, prevent misuse and investigate technical problems.

Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating and protecting the website.

Website measurement
Where analytics or similar non-essential technologies require consent, we use them only in line with the choices you make through the website’s cookie settings.

You can change your cookie choices through the website’s cookie controls where available.

3. Who we share personal information with

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share personal information with service providers where this is needed to run the website, manage forms, send email updates, measure website use or keep the website secure. These providers may include:

Wix, which hosts and supports the website;
services used to manage email subscriptions and messages;
analytics or cookie services, where you have given the required consent;
professional advisers or public authorities where disclosure is required by law.

These organisations process information only for the services they provide or under their own legal duties.

Links on this website may take you to Amazon, other book retailers or other third-party websites. We do not control how those organisations collect or use information once you leave jjnoad.com. Their own privacy policies apply.

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we require the transfer to be made using a mechanism permitted under UK data protection law.

4. Keeping your personal information secure

We take steps to protect the personal information we hold from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.

The website is hosted by Wix, and we also rely on the security measures provided by the services used to operate the website and manage communications.

Access to personal information is limited to those who need it for the purposes described in this policy.

5. How long we keep your personal information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

Mailing list information
We keep your name, email address and subscription preferences while you remain subscribed.

If you unsubscribe, we may retain your email address on a suppression list so that we can record your choice and avoid sending further marketing messages.

Contact enquiries
We normally keep contact enquiries for up to 24 months after the last contact, unless there is a reason to keep them longer, such as an ongoing enquiry, agreement or legal requirement.

Website and analytics data
Technical and analytics information is retained in line with the settings and retention periods used by Wix and any analytics services in use.

We may delete or anonymise information sooner where it is no longer needed.

6. Children

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the mailing list or contact forms.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us at echoes@jjnoad.com so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
