It is my policy to respect your privacy regarding any information I may collect from you or which you may provide to me, in the circumstances set out below.
Accordingly, I have developed this privacy policy in order for you to understand how I collect, use, communicate, disclose, safeguard and otherwise make use of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Data”).
I will only collect and use your Personal Data where:
- I have lawful grounds to do so, including to comply with my legal obligations;
- I am performing a contract with you for my services; and
- I have legitimate interests in using your Personal Data and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”), I, [Margarita Morris], am the “data controller”. If you have any questions about this policy or about how I use your Personal Data, please contact me via my contact details at the end of this policy.
This policy is effective as of 30/5/2018. I review my privacy practices on an ongoing basis, and as such I may change this privacy policy from time to time. Please check this page frequently to ensure you are familiar with its current content.
Personal Data I collect via my website margaritamorris.com (the “Website”)
I only collect Personal Data where you choose to interact with me on the Website in the following ways:
When you sign up to join my mailing list (readers’ list), I collect:
- Email address

I do not store your personal information. My list of email subscribers is managed on a third party site called MailChimp. I use a double opt-in sign-up process to add you to my MailerLite list. MailerLite forms collect your email address, IP address, and add their own timestamp which serves as evidence that you have provided consent. I do not have access to the Distribution Lists of other MailerLite users and they do not have access to mine.
