Privacy Policy

This website, annemiekewaite.com, is run by me, Annemieke Waite.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at: annemiekewaite@gmail.com

I keep things simple and only collect what I need.

If you sign up for my newsletter, I’ll collect:

• Your email address

• Your name (if you choose to share it)

When you visit the site, some basic technical information may also be collected automatically (such as your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit). This is done using cookies and tools provided by Squarespace.

I use your information to:

• Send occasional emails (if you’ve signed up)

• Share updates about my writing and any future books

• Understand what people find interesting, so I can improve the site and emails

• Keep the website running smoothly and securely

I don’t sell your data, and I don’t use it for anything unexpected.

If you subscribe, you’ll receive occasional updates from me.

I may also see whether emails are opened and which links are clicked. This helps me understand what readers enjoy and what to write about next.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

This site uses cookies (through Squarespace) to:

• Make the website work properly

• Give me a general sense of how it’s being used

You can accept or reject non-essential cookies when you visit the site, and you can also manage them through your browser settings.

Under data protection law, I rely on:

• Consent – when you choose to sign up for emails

• Legitimate interests – to run and improve the website

I use Squarespace to host this website and manage email subscriptions.

That means your data may be processed by Squarespace on my behalf. Squarespace may store data outside the UK or EEA, but it uses appropriate safeguards to protect it.

• Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete it

• Website data: kept for a limited time for analytics purposes

You have the right to:

• Ask what personal data I hold about you

• Request corrections or deletion

• Withdraw your consent at any time

• Lodge a complaint with the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

If you’d like to do any of these, just email me at annemiekewaite@gmail.com

If I start selling books or offering paid services, I’ll update this policy to reflect that.

I may update this page from time to time. The latest version will always be here.
