About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes the policies of Mythwood Creative on the collection, use and disclosure of your information that I collect when you use my website (mythwoodcreative.com). While I am physically based in the UK, I serve information to everyone across the world.

By using my website and interacting with my consent manager (the CookieYes icon at the bottom of the website), you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

I may modify this Privacy Policy at any time without any prior notice to you, and will post the revised Privacy Policy on my website. The revised Policy will be effective 180 days from when the revised Policy is posted on my website, and your continued access or use of my website after such time will constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. I therefore recommend that you periodically review this page.

Transfer and retention of your information

I do not transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. For website performance, I use Umami Analytics, which processes anonymised data and does not collect personally identifiable information.

I may also disclose your personal information to comply with applicable law, regulation, or court order.

For example, I may disclose your personal information for the following legal reasons:

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behaviour information. When you visit my website, I may collect information from you automatically through cookies or similar technology.

For further information about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

To learn more about how I use cookies and your choices in relation to these tracking technologies, please refer to my Cookie Policy.

Privacy Policies of other websites

My website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by me (except client sites that I manage on a monthly plan, which are hosted under my setup). This policy applies solely to Mythwood Creative. While I host and manage certain client websites, those sites are governed by their own respective privacy policies.

This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy policy and other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service that may be accessible via a link on mythwoodcreative.com.

I strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Security

The security of your information is important to me. My website is served over a secure HTTPS connection, and I use reasonable security measures, including the professional security protocols of Hostinger and Google Workspace, to prevent the loss or misuse of your information. However, given the inherent risks of the internet, I cannot guarantee absolute security; consequently, any information you transmit is done so at your own risk.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

I keep my Privacy Policy under regular review and place any updates on this web page. You can find the last-updated date at the top of this policy.

How to contact me?

If you have any questions about my Privacy Policy, the data I hold on you, or you would like to exercise one of your data protection rights, please do not hesitate to contact me via the Contact form.

How to contact the appropriate authority?

Should you wish to report a complaint or if you feel that Mythwood Creative has not addressed your concern in a satisfactory manner, you may contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is the official data protection authority in the UK.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this Privacy Policy.
