Privacy Policy

MartinCole.com is owned and operated by Martin Cole, who is the data controller of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website or subscribe to receive written and audio reflections.

Personal information we collect

You can visit this website without providing any personal information.

If you choose to subscribe to receive reflections by email, we collect only the information you voluntarily provide — typically your email address (and optionally your name). This information is used solely to send you new reflections and related updates.

We do not sell your data, share it with third parties for marketing purposes, or use it for profiling or automated decision-making.

Like most websites, basic technical information (such as browser type or IP address) may be processed automatically by the hosting platform to ensure the site functions securely and reliably. This information is not used to identify individual visitors.

How your information is used

Your information is used only for:

delivering reflections you have chosen to receive
maintaining the security and basic operation of the website

You may unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email.

Your rights

If you are located in the European Union, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the details below.

Third-party services

Email subscriptions and site infrastructure are managed using Ghost, which processes data on our behalf in accordance with its own privacy and security standards.

This website may contain links to external sites, such as book retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies separately.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
