Privacy Policy

Your Data & Privacy 

Your privacy and the data you volunteer, are managed with thought and respect.

We endeavour to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

At Act Big Live Small we (David and Esther Zimmer) are committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of visitors to this website.

In particular, we wish to state that we are not in the business of renting, selling or trading email lists with other businesses, companies, organisations or persons for marketing purposes.

That’s simply not on.

However, aside from using good judgment, there’s also a legal requirement to provide you with a detailed privacy policy, so that you’re clear on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure. Please read on…

Types of Data I Collect

Mailing Lists - not yet applicable: As part of the registration process for regular updates (emailed newsletters), we will collect personal information that you give freely to us (this will be limited to your first name, last name and email address). We will use that information to send regular updates to you and will always treat your in-box with respect.

We do not and have never rented, sold or traded our email list with any other business, company, organisation or person for marketing or any other purposes.

When we launch our newsletter we intend to use a third-party processor, MailChimp, to deliver the newsletter. We will gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy policy. You will be able to unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking on the ‘Unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any of the emails or by emailing us directly at actbiglivesmall@gmail.com. We won’t take it personally!

Website Users: We may collect your IP address and information regarding your location and pages accessed. This data is collected and stored in Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects standard Internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. This meta-data cannot be used to identify you as an individual. This provides analysis of general website traffic flows, activity and performance.

Your Legal Rights

We fully support the ethos of GDPR, which is designed to keep the ownership of personal data within the control of individuals. This means you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, request correction and request erasure of your personal data.

Access to Your Data - not yet applicable: You will have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you. If you would like a copy of the personal information we hold, please contact us.

You also have the right to be forgotten, so you can also request the data we hold to be deleted.

Access to Your Personal Information - not yet applicable: When we launch our newsletter you will be able to find a link called ‘Update Your Preferences’ at the bottom of all e-newsletter correspondence we send you. This allows you to update or remove any email related data, instantly.

If you wish to contact us directly, please email us at actbiglivesmall@gmail.com - we will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days.
