Charwell Proof Plus Privacy Policy

Most of my work is digital. I keep current digital files on a password-protected machine used only by me. If a specific client requires me to I will use a method of cloud collaboration.
I back up old work files to a separate hard drive. I find it helpful to keep these old files for a number of years, perhaps to look up your style preference when I work with you again, and it can also help clients if, for example, they need me to refer back to something that they might have lost.
If you would prefer me to delete files when I have finished working on them, I will of course comply with this.
I will not show your work to anyone else.
Some of the work I do is on hard copy. This tends to be paper proofs of books or other documents, and does not include personal data. The only client data I do keep is contact information in a notebook and old invoicing/remittance information. This is securely stored in my house.

I keep contact details for my clients in my email program, which is password-protected and accessed via a password-protected computer, and used only by me.
I will contact you to discuss current projects in the course of our work together.
If you would like to know what contact details I hold for you, please ask – and similarly if you would like me to remove you from my contacts.
I do not send out newsletters to my clients.

I use Google Analytics as a data-collection tool. The data it collects will tell me which pages are viewed and for how long, for example. This information is anonymised.
The contact form on my website alerts me to your message. If you choose to use my services, your email address will be in my list of email contacts.
I will never give or sell this contact list to anybody.
