Privacy information if you have asked to receive marketing information from The Content Boutique in the form of The Copy Doctor, my weekly email copywriting tips briefing.

I collect personal data when you become a client and on my website, thecontentboutique.co.uk, when you ask to receive The Copy Doctor, my weekly email copywriting tips briefing.

I ask you for your:

I do this so that I can send emails to you and greet you by your first name in the emails I send.

I comply with GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) in that when I send you my marketing emails; I am sending them because you have given me your consent to do so.

Any email marketing messages I send are done so through an email service provider (EMS). An EMS is a third party service provider of software/applications that allows marketers to send out email marketing campaigns to a list of users.

The Content Boutique’s EMS provider is; Mailchimp. I hold the following information about you within this EMS system;

• Email address
• I.P address
• Subscription time & date
• First Name
• Last Name
• Company Name

You should know that email marketing messages I send may contain tracking beacons/tracked clickable links or similar server technologies to track subscriber activity within email marketing messages.

Where used, such marketing messages may record a range of data such as;

• Times
• Dates
• I.P addresses
• Opens
• Clicks
• Forwards
• Geographic and demographic data

Such data, within its limitations, will show the activity each subscriber made for that email campaign.

I provide you with an easy method to withdraw your consent (unsubscribe) or manage your preferences/the information I hold about you at any time, using the link that is in every marketing email I send to you.

You can ask to see any information I hold on you at any time by emailing [email protected].

I respect the fact you’ve chosen to share your contact details with The Content Boutique. I will not take your contact details, or your request to receive information from me – for granted.

When you sign up to The Copy Doctor, I will hold your details for two years. After two years I will email you to ask you to opt-in to continue to receive it.
