Miss Dolly Studios respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you use missdollystudios.com, why we collect it, how we may use it, who we may share it with, and the rights available to you.
Who we are
This website is operated by Miss Dolly Studios.
Website: missdollystudios.com
Email: hello@missdollystudios.com
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal information is handled, please contact us using the email address above.
What personal information we collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information including:
- your name;
- your email address;
- billing and delivery details;
- information relating to an order or enquiry;
- newsletter subscription details;
- technical information such as IP address, browser information and server logs;
- information about how you interact with newsletter emails, where this functionality is enabled.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website.
How and why we use your information
We process personal information only where there is a lawful reason to do so. Depending on the circumstances, this may be:
- your consent, for example when you choose to receive our newsletter. You may withdraw your consent at any time;
- to take steps at your request or perform a contract with you, for example to respond to an enquiry, provide a product or service you have requested, or process and fulfil an order;
- our legitimate interests, where these are not overridden by your rights and interests, for example to operate, secure and improve the website, provide customer support, maintain appropriate records and prevent misuse; or
- to comply with a legal obligation, for example to meet legal, accounting or tax requirements.
We may also use information to maintain records relating to orders, subscriptions and consent where this is necessary for the purposes described above.
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe to the Miss Dolly Studios newsletter, we collect your email address and, where provided, your name.
Newsletter subscriptions are managed using MailPoet.
MailPoet may also record technical information associated with your subscription, such as the IP address used when signing up, to help prevent abuse and maintain a record of subscription consent.
We use a double opt-in process. After signing up, you must confirm your email address before your subscription becomes active.
Newsletter emails may be sent using the MailPoet Sending Service. MailPoet may record whether an email has been opened and whether links within the email have been clicked. We may use this information to understand how our newsletters are being used and to improve their content.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our newsletter emails.
Information relating to your subscription and consent may be retained where reasonably necessary to maintain accurate records of newsletter permissions.
Contact forms and correspondence
When you contact us through the website or by email, we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message.
We use this information to respond to your enquiry and provide customer support.
We do not use information submitted through the contact form for newsletter marketing unless you separately choose to subscribe.
Correspondence may be retained where reasonably necessary for customer service, administrative or legal purposes.
Orders and purchases
If you purchase products directly through the Miss Dolly Studios website, we may collect information required to process your order, including:
- your name;
- email address;
- billing address;
- delivery address;
- details of the products ordered;
- information relating to the transaction.
We may retain transaction records where required for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, customer service or other legal and administrative purposes.
Payments
Payments made through the Miss Dolly Studios website may be processed by third-party payment providers.
Miss Dolly Studios does not normally receive or store your full payment-card details.
The payment provider may collect and process information in accordance with its own privacy policy.
The details of the payment provider used by the website will be confirmed in this Privacy Policy once the live payment system is in place.
Studio Edition fulfilment
Studio Edition books may be printed and fulfilled on our behalf by BookVault.
Where necessary to fulfil an order, relevant information may be provided to BookVault, such as:
- your name;
- delivery address;
- contact details where required;
- details of the products ordered.
This information is provided for the purpose of producing and delivering your order.
Amazon Edition purchases
Amazon Edition books are purchased through Amazon rather than directly through the Miss Dolly Studios website.
If you follow a link from our website to Amazon, your purchase and personal information will be handled by Amazon according to its own terms and privacy practices.
Miss Dolly Studios does not receive your full Amazon customer account or payment information simply because you follow one of these links.
Cookies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies where necessary to:
- operate the website correctly;
- remember preferences;
- maintain shopping-cart functionality;
- support security;
- provide newsletter or e-commerce functionality;
- understand how certain website or email features are used.
Some third-party services used by the website may also set their own cookies.
More information about the cookies used on this website is available in our Cookie Policy.
The Cookie Policy may be updated as additional services are configured on the live website.
Website hosting and technical information
Our hosting provider and website software may automatically process technical information such as:
- IP addresses;
- browser and device information;
- server logs;
- security and error information.
This information may be used to operate and protect the website, investigate technical problems, prevent abuse and maintain security.
Our live hosting provider will be identified in this policy once the final hosting configuration is complete.
Analytics
We do not currently rely on this Privacy Policy to describe a specific third-party analytics platform.
If analytics software is added to the live website, this section and our Cookie Policy will be updated to explain what information is collected, how it is used and what choices are available to visitors.
Embedded content and links to other websites
Pages on this website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites.
External websites may collect information about you, use cookies or other tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their services according to their own privacy policies.
Miss Dolly Studios is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may provide information to trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website or provide services to you.
These may include:
- website hosting providers;
- MailPoet and email-delivery services;
- WooCommerce-related services;
- payment processors;
- BookVault for Studio Edition fulfilment;
- website security or technical service providers;
- professional advisers;
- public authorities where disclosure is required by law.
We aim to provide only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant service.
International processing
Some service providers we use may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we rely on the protections and safeguards provided by the relevant service provider and applicable data-protection law.
This section may be updated once all live service providers and processing locations are confirmed.
Children’s privacy
This website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children, and Miss Dolly Studios does not knowingly collect such information.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us to request its deletion.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where we are required to retain it for legal, accounting or administrative reasons.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Examples may include:
- contact-form enquiries retained for customer-service or administrative purposes;
- newsletter subscription and consent records retained while your subscription remains active and where necessary afterwards to maintain consent records;
- order and transaction information retained for the period required for accounting, tax and legal obligations.
Your rights
Depending on the applicable data-protection law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of your information in appropriate circumstances;
- request that certain processing is restricted;
- object to certain uses of your information;
- request data portability, where applicable;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- request information about how your personal information is being used;
- complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), where applicable.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact: hello@missdollystudios.com
We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information.
These may include secure website hosting, software updates, access controls, backups, encrypted connections and reputable third-party service providers.
However, no website or internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Data breaches
If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will assess the nature and potential impact of the incident and take appropriate steps to contain and investigate it.
Where required by applicable law, relevant individuals and regulatory authorities will be notified.
Automated decision-making
Miss Dolly Studios does not currently use personal information to make significant decisions about individuals solely through automated decision-making or profiling.
If this changes, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to:
- the website;
- the services we use;
- how we process information;
- legal or regulatory requirements.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
