We do not knowingly collect payment card details on this Website. Book purchases are completed on the publisher’s or retailer’s own website, and any consultation payments are handled separately and are not stored by this Website.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form.
• Schedule, conduct, and follow up on nutrition/diet consultations.
• Send updates about new poetry, book news, events, or consultation availability, only if you have opted in.
• Understand how visitors use the Website, so we can improve its content and layout.
• Meet legal, regulatory, or professional obligations relevant to dietetic practice.

We do not sell your personal information.

 

4. Health-Related Information (Consultation Clients)

If you book or attend a dietary/nutrition consultation, any health, medical, or lifestyle information you share is treated as sensitive personal data. It is:

• Used solely to provide you with dietary guidance and related professional services.
• Not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
• Retained only as long as necessary for consultation records or as required by applicable professional or legal standards, after which it is securely deleted.

You are encouraged to share only the health information you are comfortable providing, and to consult your physician for any medical diagnosis or treatment the consultations offered here are dietary/nutritional guidance, not a substitute for medical care.

 

5. Cookies and Analytics

This Website may use cookies and similar technologies (such as Google Analytics) to understand visitor behaviour and improve the site. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, time on site, and general location.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the Website, but you can still browse and read its content.

 

6. How We Share Information

We may share your information only with:

• Service providers who help operate the Website or manage bookings/email (e.g., website hosting, email delivery, appointment scheduling tools), bound to keep your data confidential.
• Legal authorities, if required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request.
• No one else — we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to advertisers or other third parties.

Links to external sites (such as book retailers or Instagram) are provided for your convenience. Once you leave this Website, that site’s own privacy policy applies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

 

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for — for example, to respond to your enquiry, complete a consultation series, or comply with legal/professional record-keeping requirements. After that, information is securely deleted or anonymised.

 

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
