This Privacy Policy explains how Stop Your Thought Bully collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit this website or contact me.

Stop Your Thought Bully is operated by Julie Blount in the United Kingdom.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal data is handled, you can contact me at hello@stopyourthoughtbully.com

Information I collect

I may collect personal information that you choose to prove when you use the contact form, including your name, email address and the contents of your message.

How I use your information

I use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about the reason you contacted me.

How long I keep your information

I will keep the personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with your enquiry and for any legal or administrative purposes that may apply.

Lawful basis for using your information

When you contact me, I use your personal information where it is necessary for my legitimate interests in responding to your enquiry and communicating with you.

If you contact me about purchasing a service, I may also use your information where necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or to perform a contract with you.

I do not use information submitted through the contact form for marketing unless you have separately agreed to receive marketing communications.

Who your information may be shared with

I do not sell your personal information. I may use trusted service providers that help me operate this website and communicate with you, including Squarespace, which hosts the website and may process information on my behalf.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, the provider is responsible for using an appropriate legal mechanism or safeguard for the transfer where required by data-protection law.

Cookies and similar technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Other cookies, such as analytics cookies, will only be used where permitted and, where required, after you have made a choice through the site's cookie controls.

You can use the cookie controls provided on this website to manage your preferences. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

Links to other websites

This website contains links to other websites and services, including places where you can listen to the podcast. Those third parties have their own privacy practices and policies. I am not responsible for how another website handles your personal information.

Your data-protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights over your personal information, including rights to ask for access, correction, erasure or restriction, and to object to certain processing. Some rights depend on the lawful basis and circumstances, so they do not apply in every case.

To exercise a data-protection right, contact hello@stopyourthoughtbully.com. I may need enough information to confirm your identity and understand your request.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, please contact me first so I can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Changes to this Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy when the website, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
