Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how WesleyBaker.com ("we", "us", "the site") collects, uses and protects the personal information you share when you visit the site, subscribe to the newsletter, contact Wesley, or purchase signed editions through our partner shop.

Who we are

WesleyBaker.com is the official website of British author Wesley Baker. Correspondence regarding privacy can be sent via the contact page.

What we collect

• Newsletter data — the email address you provide when subscribing.
• Contact form data — your name, email and message content.
• Usage data — anonymised analytics such as pages viewed, referring source, device type and approximate region.

How we use it

• To send you occasional updates about new books, journal entries and events, only where you have opted in.
• To reply to messages sent through the contact page.
• To understand which parts of the site are useful to readers and improve them.

Lawful basis

We rely on your consent for newsletter marketing and on legitimate interest for aggregate analytics that help us run the site.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Where necessary, information is processed by trusted third parties acting as data processors — for example, Formsubmit.co (which delivers messages sent through the contact page to wesley@wesleybaker.com), our email delivery provider, hosting provider and the independent shop at shop.wesleybaker.com for signed-edition orders.

Retention

Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are retained for as long as needed to respond to the correspondence and then archived or deleted.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, and you may withdraw newsletter consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email or by writing to us via the contact page.

Children

The site is intended for adult readers and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
