Privacy Policy

Your personal data is, to the best of my knowledge, stored safely and securely. I cannot 100% say it is completely secure, as every system has its weaknesses- even some of the most ‘secure’ companies have been hacked. However, it the best of my knowledge, Your personal data is secure.

Email addresses

• Email addresses entered at checkout, unless You opt-in to sign up for my mailing list, are stored for 1 year before being deleted from the system. If You make another order in that time, the time until deletion resets back to 1 year.
• Email addresses entered to sign up for my mailing list are stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by a) unsubscribing or b) contacting me directly. If you sign up for the mailing list but fail to confirm Your subscription by clicking the confirmation link in the confirmation email, Your email address will be deleted after 1 week.
• Email addresses You use to contact me are also stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by contacting me directly. This also applies to email addresses You give me personally, e.g., on social media. If You contact me to request their deletion by email, unless You say otherwise, the email You used will also be deleted.
• Email addresses used to make a profile to comment on the Intercept Maths website are also stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by contacting me directly. This is because they are needed to create Your profile to help reduce spam. If You contact me to request their deletion by email, unless You say otherwise, the email You used will also be deleted. Email addresses are not permanently deleted from the Intercept Maths database when You delete a comment.
• Email addresses used to make an account on the Intercept Maths website are also stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by a) removing them from Your account, b) deleting Your account or c) contacting me directly.

Payment methods/details

When purchasing with a debit/credit card, the payment is processed by the Stripe payment gateway. I do not have direct access to this private information, other than a select few:

• The last 4 digits of the card number
• The expiry date
• Card type (e.g., Vista, Mastercard etc.)

IP addresses

I use Google Analytics for my analytics, which does not give me access to the IP addresses of interceptmaths.co.uk’s visitors. This means I don’t store them anywhere. Other services that may store IP addresses can be found below.

User statistics

• I use Google Analytics for my website statistics (see the list of third-party services below for more details).
• I may use other services to analyse the statistics of my website, e.g., Bitly (if I use it to shorten URLs).

Addresses

Addresses entered at checkout when You purchase something are stored for 1 year before being deleted from the system. If You make another order in that time and enter Your address, the time until deletion resets back to 1 year.

Addresses You give me when You contact me (e.g. by email, social media etc) are stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by directly contacting me.

Addresses used to make an account on the Intercept Maths website are also stored indefinitely until You request their deletion by a) removing them from Your account, b) deleting Your account or c) contacting me directly.

Comments

Comments are stored indefinitely, until You a) delete them or b) You request their deletion by contacting me directly. I reserve the right to delete, remove, edit or otherwise modify any comments You post.

Please note that, under certain circumstances, I may not delete Your personal information, even if You request I do so, e.g. in the prevention of a crime, as evidence, to fight/prevent fraud, to save lives etc. Also, if You cannot prove that You are the owner of the data You are requesting for me to delete, I may not delete it.
