Ann Armitage

Privacy policy

This policy explains personal information associated with browsing the Ann Armitage website and contacting the business. It distinguishes information used to display the website, a message you choose to send, and records that may arise from later dealings with the company. The fields and notices presented for a particular interaction should be read together with this policy.

ANN ARMITAGE, at 54 Ribston Street, Manchester, M15 5RJ, United Kingdom, is identified as the publisher of this portfolio. Contact [email protected] about the handling of a project conversation or a privacy question. This policy distinguishes browser activity from a message you choose to send through your own email provider. It covers the portfolio's general contact route; a commissioned project may require additional, specific instructions for supplied documents and personal information. A new project does not automatically authorise unrestricted processing of all material within a manuscript, drawing, storyboard or brief.

The hosting service must process connection details to deliver a page or image, such as the requested resource, network address and request time. Error and security records may also include browser or connection information. Cloudflare may provide network protection, Web Analytics, email-address protection and network error reporting; these processes are distinct from the enquiry form. The page loads its own font and example artwork locally. It has no embedded social feed, externally hosted video player, advertising pixel authored in the page, payment widget or account sign-in.

You can supply a name, reply email, optional company or project label, selected project interest and message. The selected interest may be prefilled from a link so that a project enquiry retains its context. JavaScript uses these fields to compose a draft within your current browser page. The draft is not submitted to a website database or saved in local storage by this form. Refreshing or leaving the page may discard it; browser autofill and your device's own recovery features have separate behaviour that you control through browser settings.

Preparing a draft shows its text for review. The optional email link passes the recipient, subject and message to an email application configured on your device. You decide whether to send from that application. Opening a draft alone is not delivery, and this website cannot verify that a mailbox received it. Your email provider processes messages under its own privacy terms. If a conversation is received, the recipient can use the information needed to understand and answer the project request; do not include material you cannot authorise that recipient to review.

An initial editorial enquiry can describe the subject, approximate length and stage of a manuscript without sending the manuscript itself. Avoid pasting personal case studies, unpublished research data, confidential memoir details or private correspondence into a general form. If detailed files are needed later, clarify the appropriate transfer route, permitted review, retention and any confidentiality terms. Contact information may be used to answer the enquiry, discuss an agreement or maintain legally required records. Additional privacy responsibilities depend on the actual material and the roles agreed for that commission.

An unpublished manuscript can contain names, correspondence, health details, allegations or information about people who never contacted the editor. The general enquiry form should not be used to send that content. Describe the subject, approximate length and editorial stage instead. If a later engagement needs a sample or complete manuscript, agree the authority for sharing it, the editing purpose and the transfer route. A request for a sample should be limited to what is useful for defining the assignment rather than an invitation to disclose every supporting record.

There is no manuscript storage area or file upload on this site. In a commissioned edit, the marked copy, clean copy, style sheet, author queries and correspondence may have different retention needs. Agree how versions are identified, where they may be held and how deletion requests will be considered. Some instructions and financial records may need to remain for contractual or legal reasons even after working copies are removed. A promise of immediate deletion for every record would therefore be misleading without examining the actual engagement.

The browser requests pages from hosting and network services. Choosing to send an email involves your own mail provider. This portfolio does not automatically share manuscripts with a publishing house, another editor or an external checking service. If a project proposes any additional reviewer or processing service, clarify its role and permitted access before transferring text. An author should know which version is being reviewed and for what purpose. Disclosures required by law must be assessed against the specific requirement and the information genuinely needed.

The professional address is in the United Kingdom, but network and email infrastructure can operate internationally. A manuscript may also concern people in several jurisdictions. Those circumstances require attention to the actual parties and safeguards if personal material will cross borders. They do not create a general permission to circulate a text. The fictional excerpts displayed in this portfolio contain no real client manuscript. You can browse, select an editorial interest and prepare a draft without supplying a book file or information identifying its subjects.

Start with a nonconfidential outline and verify a recipient before sending an unpublished document. Avoid account credentials and remove unnecessary personal identifiers from any sample. Appropriate access limits, a suitable transfer method and agreed handling instructions matter for a real commission; the website cannot promise absolute confidentiality for every device or email provider. If an incorrect manuscript version or a misaddressed message is discovered, identify the document and conversation concerned so that the issue can be investigated without distributing additional private passages.

Use the published email to ask about personal information in an editorial enquiry or commissioned conversation. Give enough context to locate the record, such as the date and project label, without reproducing sensitive passages. Depending on applicable law, rights can include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent where relevant. Some rights have exceptions for legitimate recordkeeping or legal claims. Reasonable verification should avoid unnecessary identity documents. You may complain to the competent data protection authority if a concern remains unresolved.

The website presents editorial services for professional enquiries rather than an experience directed at children. An adult author should avoid including a child’s personal details in the contact form or a first sample. Memoirs, case studies and educational manuscripts may need additional attention to consent, authority and the protection of identifiable people before files are shared. A parent or guardian concerned about information supplied through this route can identify the interaction and request appropriate action without sending further unnecessary details about the child.

The notice describes the local draft form and static portfolio as currently offered. A new upload system, client login or hosted editing workspace would need a fresh assessment and a clear notice explaining the collection involved. An update to this page cannot silently replace permissions or agreed instructions for a manuscript already supplied. Keep project-specific handling terms alongside this general policy. If a version date, file instruction or stated purpose appears inconsistent, ask for clarification before sending more text or allowing a new use of existing material.

The website presents business information and enquiries rather than an experience designed for children. A parent or guardian concerned that a child has supplied personal information can contact the operator, describe the relevant interaction and ask about appropriate action. An adult making an enquiry should avoid including unnecessary information about a child or another person. Where a particular service legitimately requires such information, the purpose, authority and appropriate channel should be clarified for that situation instead of placing the details in a general contact message.

The publication date identifies the version currently displayed. Changes to website features or business handling may require revisions or an additional notice at the point of collection. A later policy statement does not by itself authorise a materially different use of information already received where further notice, a legal basis or consent is required. Keep a copy relevant to your interaction if you need one. Questions about this policy, a particular data category or a request that remains unresolved can be raised through the Contact page, without limiting any available complaint to a supervisory authority.
