Privacy Notice

Healthy Workplace Fables is operated in the United Kingdom by M.T. Groom. For data-protection purposes, M.T. Groom is the controller of personal information collected directly through this website and newsletter.

You do not need an account and we do not take payments on this website. When your browser requests a page, basic technical information is processed so the page can be delivered securely. This may include your IP address, the requested page, date and time, browser and device information, referring page, and diagnostic or security information.

IONOS provides WordPress hosting and server infrastructure. We use this technical processing to operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the website. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in providing a reliable and secure service.

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. CookieYes provides the cookie banner and remembers your choices. Essential technologies may be used where necessary to provide, protect or operate the site. Where consent is required, optional cookies or similar technologies are used only after you give consent. You can accept, reject or customise optional choices and change them later using the cookie-settings control on the website.

Rejecting optional cookies does not stop you using the site. Cookie names and durations can change when providers update their services; the live cookie-preferences panel is the most current description of the categories available on this site.

If you choose to join the mailing list, we collect the information you submit, normally your email address, together with the date and time of sign-up, confirmation and unsubscribe records. The form uses double opt-in: you must confirm your email address before you are added to the list.

EmailOctopus stores subscriber records and sends publication news and occasional updates on our behalf. It may provide delivery and engagement reporting, such as deliveries, opens or link clicks, where those features are enabled. We use this information to understand whether our emails are useful and being delivered; it is not used for third-party advertising.

Our lawful basis for sending marketing email is your consent. You can withdraw consent using the unsubscribe link in any email. Following an unsubscribe, we may retain a minimal suppression record so that we do not accidentally email you again.

The sign-up form uses Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent automated abuse. Google may receive basic technical and browser information when the form loads, even if you do not submit it. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in protecting the website and form from misuse.

If you contact us, we process the information you include so that we can read, respond to and keep an appropriate record of the conversation. We rely on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and managing the website. Please do not send sensitive personal information by ordinary email unless it is necessary.

The site may link to external websites. When you follow a link, the destination receives the information normally sent by your browser, which may include your IP address, browser information and the referring page. The destination’s privacy policy then applies.

Some providers operate internationally and may process technical or support data outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we rely on the safeguards used by the relevant provider, such as adequacy arrangements or approved contractual protections, where applicable.

• Cookie preference: normally until it expires or you clear browser storage.
• Mailing-list record: while you remain subscribed. After unsubscribing, a suppression record may be retained to prevent further mailings.
• Contact correspondence: for as long as reasonably needed to answer the enquiry and maintain appropriate operational or legal records.
• Server, security and consent information: for as long as reasonably needed for security, troubleshooting and service operation, subject to provider retention schedules.

Depending on where you live and the circumstances, you may have rights to ask for access to personal information, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or an objection to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting processing that took place beforehand.

To make a request, email hello@healthyworkplacefables.com. We may need enough information to verify your identity and understand the request. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Healthy Workplace Fables is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through the website. We may update this policy when the site, providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
