Privacy Policy

Effective date: December 2025
Last updated: December 2025
Website: www.mikeholdensales.com

TL;DR — The short version

I keep the minimum of your info to run this site, help you with services, and send things you asked for. I don’t sell your personal data. You’re in control — you can ask to see, fix, or delete your data anytime. If you want the legal fine print, it’s below.

1. What this page covers

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information I collect through this website, how I use it, who I share it with, how I protect it, and what rights you have. It applies to visits, forms, newsletter sign-ups, purchases, and comments on [your-website.com].

2. Information I collect

I only collect what’s necessary. Examples:

Information you give me

  • Name, email address, phone number when you sign up, contact me, buy something, or request a download.
  • Billing and postal address when you purchase a product or service.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data (pages visited, time on site, referring URL).
  • Device & browser information, IP address, and anonymised location data.

Cookies & similar tech

  • Cookies for essential site function, analytics and (with consent) marketing. See the Cookies section for details.

3. How I use your information

I use your data to:

  • Provide, run, and improve the website and services.
  • Deliver purchases, downloads, newsletters, and support.
  • Personalise content and recommend relevant posts/services.
  • Send transactional emails (order confirmations, receipts).
  • With consent, send marketing communications and offers.

I’ll always limit processing to what’s necessary for the purpose stated when the data was collected.

4. Lawful bases for processing (if you’re in the UK/EU)

Where relevant, I rely on:

  • Contract (to fulfil orders or services you requested).
  • Consent (for marketing and non-essential cookies).
  • Legitimate interests (running the site, improving services, preventing fraud) — balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligation (where required by law).

5. Cookies & tracking

I use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work and to improve it.

Types used

  • Essential cookies — required for site functionality.
  • Performance/analytics — to measure & improve site usage (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Marketing — to show or measure ads and offers (used only with consent).

You can manage cookie preferences in the cookie banner or through your browser settings, but blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

6. Third-party services

I may share information with trusted providers who help deliver the service (payment processors, email services, analytics providers, hosting companies). Typical examples:

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) — for payments.
  • Email platforms (e.g., MailerLite, ConvertKit) — for newsletters.
  • Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) — for traffic insights.

I choose reputable providers and require them to protect your data. I don’t sell your personal data to third parties.

7. International transfers

Some third-party providers may be located outside the UK/EEA. Where data is transferred, I’ll take steps to ensure it’s protected (standard contractual clauses or other safeguards) or rely on an appropriate legal mechanism. If you’re concerned, contact me and I’ll explain the safeguards in place.

8. Data retention

I keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected (for example, to provide purchased services, comply with tax rules, or as required by law). If you ask for deletion, I’ll remove your personal data unless I have a legal reason to retain it.

9. Your rights

If you live in the UK/EEA you may have rights under data protection law, including:

  • The right to access your personal data.
  • The right to correct inaccurate data.
  • The right to request deletion (“right to be forgotten”).
  • The right to restrict or object to processing.
  • The right to data portability.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time (marketing, cookies).
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., ICO in the UK).

To exercise any right, contact. I’ll respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

10. Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction. No internet transmission is 100% secure — if you’re worried about particularly sensitive info, contact me first before sending it.

11. Children

This site is not directed at children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact me and I’ll delete it.

12. Links to other sites

This site contains links to third-party sites (partners, social media). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. Please check their privacy policies before providing personal information.

13. Changes to this policy

I may update this policy occasionally. I’ll post the new effective date at the top and, where appropriate, notify subscribers. Check this page periodically.

14. Contact & complaints

Questions, requests to access/correct/delete data, or concerns, CONTACT
If you’re not satisfied with my response, you can complain to your local data protection authority (for UK residents: the Information Commissioner’s Office — ICO).

15. Short checklist for your site (to customise)

  • Replace bracketed placeholders: site URL, company name, contact email, effective date.
  • List the actual third-party services you use (analytics, email, payments).
  • Add a cookie banner & consent mechanism if you don’t already have one.
  • If you sell products: add a short paragraph about billing & refunds handling.
  • Consider publishing a Data Processing Agreement with major vendors if you process large volumes of personal data.
