Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the rights you have over it.

Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful reason to use your information. We rely on:
- • Contract: to provide the products and services you buy from us
- • Consent: to send you marketing emails and to use non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- • Legitimate interests: to reply to enquiries, improve our website and understand our marketing performance, where this does not override your rights
- • Legal obligation: to keep records required by law, such as tax records
5. Marketing
We will only send you marketing emails if you have opted in. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also ask us to stop at any time by emailing privacy@iamivonne.com.
We never sell your personal information.
6. Who we share your information with
We share your information only with trusted providers who help us run our business, and only as much as they need. These include:

- • Social media platforms: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, when you contact us through them
- • Business support: administrative assistants working on our behalf under confidentiality agreements
- • Professional advisers: accountants and legal advisers, where needed
We may also share information if the law requires it.
7. International transfers
Some of our providers store or process data outside the UK, including in the United States. When this happens, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or an approved adequacy decision.
8. How long we keep your information
- • Enquiries: up to 2 years after our last contact with you
- • Customer and purchase records: 6 years, as required for tax and accounting
- • Lifetime chapter access and community membership: for as long as your account is active

To use any of these rights, email privacy@iamivonne.com. We will reply within one month. There is usually no charge.
10. Age requirement
Our website, products and forms are for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a young person has shared their details with us, please contact us and we will delete them.
11. Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

12. Keeping your information safe
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including secure systems, restricted access and trusted providers. No online system is completely secure, but we take every reasonable step to protect you.
