Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important.
This privacy policy explains how Smart Phrasing collects, uses and protects your personal data when you contact me through the website.
Data I collect
I only collect and process personal information that you voluntarily provide, specifically:
-
Your first and last name
-
Your email address
​
Smart Phrasing does not intend to collect data about website visitors under the age of 16, unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. However, we cannot verify whether a visitor is older than 16. We therefore encourage parents to be involved in their children's online activities to prevent data about children being collected without parental consent.
If you believe we have collected personal data about a minor without this consent, please contact me at hannah.booth@smartphrasing.com, and I will delete this information.
How I use your data
Your data is used solely for the following purposes:
-
To be able to email you if necessary to provide my freelance editing, proofreading, coaching and communication services
-
To deliver my freelance editing, proofreading, coaching and communication services to you
-
To process your payment
How long I retain your data
I will not retain your data longer than is strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which your data is collected. I apply the standard retention period of 7 years for storing your personal data.
How I protect your data
I take the protection of your data seriously and implement appropriate measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unwanted disclosure and unauthorised modification.
If you believe your data is not properly secured or if there are indications of misuse, please contact me at hannah.booth@smartphrasing.com.
Third parties
I only provide data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of my agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation.

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data.

In this copy, please redact your passport photo, MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip with numbers at the bottom of the passport), passport number and any other sensitive information (e.g. your BSN). This is to protect your privacy. I will respond to your request as quickly as possible, but within four weeks.
