Privacy Policy

1. About this privacy notice

This privacy notice explains how personal data is handled on this website for Naomi Caldwell (https://naomicaldwell.com). This website is intended primarily for readers in the United Kingdom and internationally who are seeking Christian Bible-study resources, guided reading plans, workbooks and reflective articles.

This notice outlines our current data-handling practices during the current pre-launch phase of the website, prior to the activation of external production message-delivery or newsletter marketing systems. We are committed to transparency and to handling any personal data responsibly and in accordance with applicable UK data-protection laws.

2. Information currently collected

During standard browsing, this website functions as a static client-side web application. We minimise data collection by design:

• No tracking cookies or analytics: We do not deploy first-party or third-party cookies, advertising tracking pixels, or third-party web analytics scripts to record your browsing habits or identify individual visitors.
• No account registration: We do not require visitors to create user accounts, set passwords, or log in to view website content.
• No financial details: We do not sell books directly on this website, and we do not collect, process, or store payment card details, bank account numbers, or billing addresses.
• Technical server logs: When your web browser requests a page, the hosting infrastructure temporarily processes standard technical connection data (such as your IP address, browser user-agent, and requested file path) to route and serve the web page securely. These standard server logs are maintained for technical connectivity, fault finding, and network defense (such as mitigating automated denial-of-service attacks) and are not combined with personal profiles or used for marketing.
• Externally hosted font resources: To maintain consistent visual typography across devices, this website loads font stylesheets and font files (Lora and Plus Jakarta Sans) from Google Fonts servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser retrieves these assets, a direct network request is made to Google, transmitting standard connection data including your IP address and browser user-agent. This website does not use Google Analytics or advertising/tracking services, and no tracking cookies are set by this website through font delivery.

3. Contact and newsletter features

We provide interactive forms on the website for reader convenience, but visitors should note their current pre-launch operational status:

• Contact Form: The form on the Contact page allows visitors to prepare an enquiry. At present, the contact form has not yet been connected to an active production email-delivery service or message-processing endpoint. Messages entered into the current form are validated client-side only and are not transmitted to an external inbox or saved to a database. When a production delivery service is connected prior to official launch, this notice will be updated accordingly.
• Newsletter Signup: The newsletter subscription form has not yet been connected to an active email marketing service provider (such as ConvertKit/Kit, Mailchimp, or Brevo). Submitting an email address in the current build displays an interface confirmation only; no email address is transmitted, added to an external marketing mailing list, or used to send outbound marketing emails. This notice will be updated before any live email subscription service is activated.

4. How information is used

Because transmission features are not yet connected to live external services, personal contact data is not currently processed for ongoing communication or profiling.

Once production services are activated:

• Information submitted via the contact form will be used solely to review, respond to, and communicate regarding your reader enquiry or group-study question.
• Email addresses submitted for newsletter updates will be used solely to send requested study updates, reading guides, and publication announcements.
• Personal information will never be sold, rented, or traded to third parties for commercial advertising purposes.

5. Lawful basis, where applicable

Under UK data-protection legislation (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018), any processing of personal data requires an identified lawful basis:

• Consent: Where you voluntarily choose to subscribe to an email newsletter (once live), processing is based on your explicit consent. You will be able to withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: Where you submit an enquiry via the contact form (once live), we process your enquiry based on our legitimate interest in responding to reader questions and managing communication. Standard server security logging is likewise conducted under our legitimate interest in ensuring network security and service integrity.

6. Service providers and third parties

We do not sell personal data to third parties. In the future, once production communication features are activated, third-party service providers (such as cloud hosting facilities, form-delivery endpoints, and transactional or newsletter email delivery platforms) may process information on our behalf to deliver requested services. Any such providers will be required to handle data securely and in compliance with applicable data-protection regulations.

7. External links, including Amazon UK

This website contains links to external third-party websites, including Amazon UK (for purchasing the paperback edition of the published workbook) and online Scripture reference tools (such as Bible Gateway).

When you follow a link to an external website, you leave our site. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy policies, cookie practices, or content of third-party platforms. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any external site you visit.

8. Data retention

In the current pre-launch build, no reader enquiry database or newsletter mailing list is maintained on this site. Once production communication services are activated, personal data will be retained only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was provided (for example, to answer your specific enquiry or for the duration of your active newsletter subscription). A formal retention schedule will be implemented when production services are connected.

9. Your data-protection rights

Under UK data-protection law, individuals have statutory rights in relation to their personal data, including:

• Right of access: The right to request copies of your personal data.
• Right to rectification: The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to erasure: The right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to restrict processing: The right to request that we limit the processing of your data under certain conditions.
• Right to object: The right to object to our processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing relies on your consent (such as email subscriptions), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

10. How to raise a privacy concern

If you have questions regarding this privacy notice or our data practices, please contact us using the Contact page.

If you are resident in the United Kingdom and believe that your data has not been processed in accordance with the law, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Further details are available at ico.org.uk.

11. Changes to this notice

We may update this privacy notice periodically to reflect operational changes, such as the configuration of live newsletter or message-handling services. Any amendments will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
