Your privacy is important to SLS Administrative Consultant (SLSAC), so I’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how I collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information.

I collect certain information or data about you when you use my websites: www.slsac.ie, www.slsadministrative.consulting and www.slsadministrativeconsultant.ie (.com & .co.uk).

• I embed Facebook Comments plugin to allow you to leave comment on my blog using your Facebook account. This plugin may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the commenting interface, including correlating your Facebook account with whatever action you take within the interface (such as “liking” someone’s comment, replying to other comments), if you are logged into Facebook.

SLSAC does not collect any personally identifiable financial or health-related information, nor do I intentionally collect information from children under the age of 13.

Where your information is stored

I store your information, whenever possible, on secure servers in the European Economic Area (EEA) (except for data that I gather when you sign up to my email newsletters).

When you sign up to my email marketing

I use Mailchimp for my email marketing.

Mailchimp has staff based outside the EEA, and stores your data in the USA.

When you sign up to my email marketing, you agree to your data being stored in this way. For further details on how Mailchimp handle your information, please review their own Privacy Policy.

I do not or will not knowingly sell or share this information with any third parties. The purpose of collecting this information is solely to provide you, the subscriber, with quality content, access to videos and marketing communications.

I operate ‘double opt-in’ mailing lists so you will need to reconfirm your subscription regarding each opt-in.

I will continue to send you email newsletters and alerts until you tell me not to or use the unsubscribe option on any of my emails. You may cancel your subscription and revoke your consent to the storage or processing of this data at any time. The unsubscribe option is available in every automated communication I send.
