Authentic Learning Systems respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information is collected through this website, how it is used, and your rights in relation to your data.

This website is operated by the owner of Authentic Learning Systems. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact:

Email: [your contact email]

2. What information is collected

This website itself does not require you to create an account and does not collect personal information except where you choose to provide it.

Information may be collected in the following situations:

  • If you contact me via email or a contact form, I will receive the information you choose to provide (such as your name and email address).

  • If you choose to subscribe to content via Substack, your data is collected and processed by Substack, not by this website.

Substack’s own privacy policy applies to subscriptions and payments made through their platform.

3. How your information is used

Any personal information you provide directly to me is used only to:

  • respond to enquiries, or

  • communicate with you where you have requested contact.

  • If you choose to subscribe to updates via a sign-up form on this website, I will collect your name and email address for the sole purpose of sending occasional newsletters or updates related to my writing and projects. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

Your information will not be shared with third parties and will not be used for marketing beyond the stated purpose.

4. Cookies and analytics

This website may use basic analytics tools or cookies provided by the website hosting platform to understand general site usage (such as page visits and traffic patterns). This data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you personally.

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings.

5. How long data is kept

If you contact me directly, your information will be kept only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry or maintain relevant correspondence, and then securely deleted.

6. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data I hold about you,

  • request correction of inaccurate data,

  • request deletion of your data, where applicable.

To exercise these rights, please contact me using the email address above.

7. External links

This website may contain links to external websites, including Substack and other platforms. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and you should review their privacy policies separately.
