Newsletter subscription process

Subscription is through a ‘double opt-in process’, whether direct from these websites or from a book marketing promotion. This means that after providing your personal details (name and email address), you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you wanted to subscribe. You will only be included as a subscriber to a list if you confirm by clicking the link and generating a return email that this is what you want to do. Subscribing through this process means that:

your contact information is transferred to Lisette Niemand’s account on the third party site, MailChimp, and stored there,
you give your consent to be sent newsletters/emails via that MailChimp account
interactions such as open rates can be collected to inform future marketing and mailings.

You may request a copy of personal information held about you by emailing CONTACT.

Newsletters and email campaigns that may be sent by this website or its owner may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Subscriber activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include; the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates, and frequency of activity. This information is used to refine future email campaigns and supply visitors with more relevant content based on their activity.

Third parties

Your details are not passed on to any third parties at any time. For your convenience, I provide links to my social media accounts directly from this website, and also some purchase links for books, stationery, fabric wallpaper, home decor items and clothing which take you directly to those retail sites. Following those links will take you away from my website. These sites will have their own privacy policy and I do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. You should exercise caution before sharing information and read the privacy statement relating to the website in question.

External sites

Other links within this site to other websites are not covered by this policy. I suggest that you find out about their privacy policies on your first visit to any such website. Users should note they click on external links at their own risk and neither these websites nor their owner can be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.

Other cookies may be stored to your computer’s hard drive by external vendors when this website uses referral programs, sponsored links or adverts. Such cookies are used for conversion and referral tracking and typically expire after 30 days, though some may take longer. No personal information is stored, saved or collected.

Adverts and Sponsored Links

This website may (but rarely) contain sponsored links and adverts by third parties. These will typically be served through our advertising partners, who may have detailed privacy policies relating directly to the adverts they serve.

Clicking on any such links/adverts will send you to the provider/advertiser’s website through a referral program which may use cookies and will track the number of referrals sent from our website. This may include the use of cookies which may, in turn, be saved on your computer’s hard drive. Users should, therefore, note they click on sponsored external links at their own risk and this website and its owner cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.

Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement, and actions taken through external social media platforms that these websites and their owner participate on are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate/engage on them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details. I will never ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and strongly encourage visitors wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact us through primary communication channels such as by email (CONTACT).

This website uses social sharing buttons which help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform in question. Users are advised before using such social sharing buttons that they do so at their own discretion and volition and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.
