We only collect information that is necessary to provide our services.

How we use your information

  • Process orders and payments
  • Deliver digital downloads
  • Post physical products
  • Provide access to workshops or training
  • Respond to enquiries
  • Send newsletters (if you have opted in)
  • Improve our website and services

We do not sell or share your personal data for marketing purposes.

Who we share data with

We use the following third-party services to operate our business, and your data may be processed by them as part of that:

  • Kit (ConvertKit) for email newsletters and communications
  • WooCommerce/Stripe for processing orders and payments
  • Website hosting and analytics providers, to operate and improve our site

We only share what each provider needs to perform their specific function, and we have agreements in place with these providers covering how they handle your data.

International data transfers

Some of the providers we use, including Kit, are based outside the UK and EU, in the United States. Where this is the case, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your data in line with UK GDPR requirements.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to:

  • Enable website functionality
  • Process purchases
  • Remember login details
  • Analyse website traffic

Where cookies are not essential to the running of the site (such as analytics cookies), we will ask for your consent before they are set. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie settings, and you can also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, although this may affect site functionality.

Data security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal data. However, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos or social media posts. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly, and those websites may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies.

Use of AI tools

We may use AI-assisted tools as part of our editorial, customer service, or marketing processes. Where this is the case, we take care to ensure no unnecessary personal data is shared with these tools, and any use is limited to improving the content and service we provide to you.

Comments

If you leave a comment on the website, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address, to help prevent spam. Comments are retained so we can recognise and approve genuine follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue indefinitely. You can request deletion of a comment at any time by contacting us.

How long we keep your data

  • Order information is retained for as long as required for legal, accounting, and tax purposes.
  • Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe.
  • Account information, if you register on our website, is retained until you ask us to delete it.
  • Comment data is retained unless you request its removal.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data, where legally permitted
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications
  • Object to or restrict certain processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, please email claire@notjustachildminder.co.uk.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page.
