This privacy policy explains how Jean-Charles Bricola (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, protects, and uses the information you provide when using this website, our online materials, and our contact form.
For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we operate as the Data Controller for your personal data. You can contact us regarding your data rights at any time via our website’s privacy and data protection request form.
We value your privacy. We do not track your activity on this website, and we do not use marketing or analytical cookies. We only collect and process personal data when you voluntarily choose to contact us. This data is handled strictly according to the policy detailed in Section 4.
We rely on trusted third-party providers to build this website, deliver our online materials, and handle communications.
To run our website and services, our integrated third-party providers automatically process limited technical data, such as your IP address, for essential operational and security purposes.
While we do not deploy marketing or tracking cookies ourselves, the platforms integrated into our website use cookies for essential and functional purposes:
Google Sites (Google LLC): Used to build and host our web pages. It utilises limited operational and security cookies essential for the platform’s proper functioning.
Tally.so (Tally BV): Our contact and feedback form is embedded directly into our site. Tally uses essential cookies to ensure the form functions correctly and securely when you submit enquiries.
YouTube (Google LLC): Used to host the audio materials accompanying our book. Our website only provides an external link to YouTube. Clicking this link will redirect you to YouTube’s platform, where their own privacy policy and cookie terms apply.
We prioritise storing data within the UK and EEA, as done with Tally.so.
For data transfers outside the UK and EEA, Google LLC relies on its certification under the 🌐 UK-U.S. Data Bridge (the UK Extension to the Data Privacy Framework) alongside standard corporate terms incorporating Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to guarantee equivalent data protection.
To use our contact forms, you must be 18 years of age or over. Our forms are powered by Tally.so, and we respond to enquiries using the secure Mailfence email service.
Personal Data Collected: Your email address (if supplied), your name (if supplied), and any personal details you choose to include in your message.
Lawful Basis for Processing: Legitimate Interests. It is in our legitimate interest to read, process, and successfully respond to your specific feedback or enquiry.
Personal Data Use: Your details are strictly used to answer your query. We will never sell your data or use it for marketing lists, tracking, or newsletters.
Personal Data Retention:
Without an email address: We review these messages monthly. Any personal data inadvertently included in a message without an email address is permanently deleted within 30 days of receipt.
With an email address: Your personal data will be permanently deleted from our Tally.so and Mailfence accounts within 30 days after your enquiry is considered closed and resolved, unless we are required by a specific legal obligation to preserve it.
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following statutory rights regarding your data:
The right to access, rectify, or request the permanent deletion of your personal data.
The right to object to our processing of your personal data (as we rely on Legitimate Interests).
The right to restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
Please note that these rights apply strictly to personal data (such as your name, email address, or contact details). If you request the deletion of your data, we may still retain the anonymous substance or feedback contained within your message for book-improvement purposes, provided that all identifying personal details are permanently and irreversibly removed.
To exercise any of these rights, please use our privacy and data protection request form. To process your request, you will need to provide the email address associated with your original message so we can locate your data. We will respond to your request free of charge within one calendar month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) (🌐 www.ico.org.uk). However, we would appreciate the chance to resolve your concerns directly first.
