Privacy & Terms of Use
I want everyone who visits my website to feel comfortable, informed, and respected. This page explains, in plain language, how your information is handled and what you can expect when using my site.
Privacy Statement
Information You Choose to Share
If you contact me through the website — for example, to enquire about a Virtual Author Visit or to ask a question — I receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and any details included in your message.
I only use this information to respond to your enquiry and provide any follow‑up you’ve asked for. I don’t use your details for marketing unless you’ve specifically requested updates, and I don’t share your information with anyone else unless required by law.
Website Data
Like most websites, basic technical information may be collected automatically (such as browser type or anonymous usage data). This helps keep the site running smoothly and allows me to understand how people use the pages, but it does not identify you personally.
Cookies
This website may use simple cookies to improve your browsing experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
Your Rights
You can ask me at any time:
what information I hold about you
to correct it if something is wrong
to delete it if you no longer want it stored
Just contact me through the form and I’ll be happy to help.
Security
I do my best to keep your information safe and secure. I only keep personal details for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry or provide the service you’ve requested.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement, please feel free to get in touch.
Terms of Use
Using This Website
By using this website, you agree to do so in a respectful and lawful way. All content — including text, images, illustrations, and downloadable materials — is protected by copyright and is provided for personal or educational use only. Please don’t copy, reproduce, or distribute any content without permission.
Accuracy of Information
I do my best to keep all information on this website accurate and up to date. However, occasional errors or changes may occur. If you spot something that doesn’t look right, feel free to let me know.
External Links
This website may include links to external organisations that support children’s mental health, disability, and neurodivergence. These links are provided for convenience and information only. I’m not responsible for the content, policies, or services of external sites.
Virtual Author Visits
Any information shared during a Virtual Author Visit — including questions, comments, or creative work — should be appropriate for a children’s setting. I reserve the right to decline or end a session if content or behaviour is unsuitable.
Contact & Enquiries
If you use the contact form, please make sure the information you provide is accurate so I can respond properly. Enquiries should be made in good faith and for genuine purposes only.
Changes to These Terms
I may update this page occasionally to reflect changes in how the website operates. Any updates will be posted here, and continued use of the site means you accept the revised terms.
