PRIVACY POLICY

The following Privacy Policy governs the online information and data collection practices of Gemma in the Cotswolds (formerly Somewhere After The Rainbow)  (“me” or “I”). Specifically, it outlines the types of information that I gather about you while you are using the https://somewhereaftertherainbow.co.uk website (the “Site”), and the ways in which I use this information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of my Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is a growing and evolving space, I may need to change my Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case I’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. I will endeavour to notify with 30 days notice of any changes made and the effective date. By continuing to use the Site after I post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.

I will never sell, barter, or disclose your email address to any unauthorised third party.

How I Collect and Use Information

This Site only contacts individuals who specifically request that I do so. All of this information is provided to me by you.

I also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example, I may collect information about your computer’s connectionto the Internet, which allows me, among other things, to improve the delivery of my web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. I also may use a standard feature found inbrowser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help me deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit my site, and track user trends and patterns via Google Analytics. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixelgraphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages. Details of how to disable cookies on your own web browser can be found in my Cookies Policy.

The information that you give to me directly on the site (e.g. within comments on blog posts such as your name and email address) is never shared or added to any mailing lists.

To ensure the security and safety of this site, I create fortnightly backups of all information on this site, which are held in a zip file within my personal hardrive. Each backup file is deleted in full when the next one is created.

The Site also includes links to websites I recommend or work with on a collaborative basis, and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies I do not control. Some of the links I provide are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on thelink and purchase the item connected to that link, I will receive an affiliate commission at no cost you. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through the Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting, or the provider of such products or services.

Be aware that I may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the public.

I do not currently operate a mailing list or regular newsletter.

Disclaimer

Although it is highly unlikely, this policy may be changed at any time at our discretion. If we should update this policy, we will post the updates to this page on our Website.

In the event of a security breach on this website, I will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
