1. Information we collect‍ ‍

We collect personal data you provide to us directly, including:

• Contact form enquiries — your first name, last name, email address, and the content of your message.

• Newsletter sign-up — your name and email address, when you choose to subscribe.

• Correspondence — any personal data you share with us if you email or call us directly.

‍If this website uses analytics or advertising cookies (for example, Google Analytics), we may also automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited.

‍2. How we use your information, and our legal basis

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries submitted via our contact form, on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering questions about our services.

• Sending newsletters or updates, only where you have actively opted in — on the basis of your consent.

• Improving our website and understanding how it is used, on the basis of our legitimate interest, or your consent where analytics cookies require it.

• Meeting our legal and regulatory obligations, on the basis of legal obligation.

We will never sell your personal data, and we do not use it for any purpose beyond those set out above without asking you first.

‍3. Cookies

‍This website may use a small number of cookies necessary for it to function correctly. If analytics or marketing cookies are used, you will be asked for your consent where required, and can manage your preferences at any time through your browser settings.

‍4. Sharing your information

‍We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share it with trusted third parties who process data on our behalf — for example, our website hosting provider (Squarespace) and, if you subscribe, our email newsletter provider — solely for the purpose of providing those services, and always under appropriate confidentiality and data protection terms.‍ ‍

We will also disclose your data where required by law, or to protect our legal rights.‍ ‍

Some of our service providers may be based outside the UK. Where this is the case, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your data in accordance with UK GDPR.

5. How long we keep your data‍ ‍

We keep enquiry and correspondence data for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to you and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you follow up, and then delete it unless we are required to retain it for longer for legal, accounting, or regulatory reasons. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

‍6. Data security‍ ‍

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.‍ ‍

7. Your rights

‍Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:‍ ‍

• Access the personal data we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate data

• Request erasure of your data

• Object to or restrict our processing of your data

• Request that your data be provided to you or transferred elsewhere (data portability)

• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@johannamolineus.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe we have not handled your data properly.‍ ‍

8. Changes to this policy‍ ‍

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. ‍
