What information we collect

We collect personal information in two ways:

When you sign up to our mailing list

• Your name (if you provide it)
• Your email address
• The date you signed up

When you contact us

• Your name and email address
• The content of your message

Automatically, when you visit the site

• Standard website analytics data (pages visited, time on site, device type) via WordPress and any analytics tools in use
• Cookie data — see our cookie information below

Why we collect it and our legal basis

Mailing list — We collect your email address to send you updates when new blog posts are published, and occasional information about our services. The legal basis is consent — you sign up voluntarily and can unsubscribe at any time.

Contact enquiries — We use your name and email to respond to your message and, where relevant, to follow up about our services. The legal basis is legitimate interests — responding to people who contact us directly.

Website analytics — We use anonymised data to understand how the site is used and to improve it. The legal basis is legitimate interests.

How we use your information

• To send you email updates you have signed up for
• To respond to your enquiries
• To improve the website and its content
• We will never sell your data to third parties
• We will never share your data with third parties for marketing purposes

Who we share data with

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate notyetzero:

• EcoSend — our email marketing platform, used to manage the mailing list and send broadcasts. EcoSend is GDPR compliant and based in the UK. See their privacy policy at ecosend.io/privacy
• WordPress / Superb Addons — our website platform and hosting. Standard website data is processed as part of running the site
• Buy Me a Coffee — if you choose to make a voluntary contribution, your payment is processed by Buy Me a Coffee. We receive only the amount donated and your name if you provide it. See their privacy policy at buymeacoffee.com/privacy-policy

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

How long we keep your data

• Mailing list — until you unsubscribe, or if you have not engaged with emails for an extended period, at which point we will remove inactive contacts
• Contact enquiries — we keep email correspondence for as long as it is relevant to an ongoing relationship, and delete it when no longer needed
• Analytics data — anonymised and aggregated; no individual retention period applies

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Erasure — ask us to delete your data (“the right to be forgotten”)
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data
• Portability — receive your data in a portable format
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent — unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us directly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at rebecca@notyetzero.com. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
