www.linamileskaite.com is owned by Lina Mileskaite (based in the United Kingdom), who is the data controller of your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we process the information collected by www.linamileskaite.com and why we collect certain personal data about you. Please read this Privacy Policy before using the website.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and ensuring its confidentiality and security.

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit www.linamileskaite.com, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse the Site, we also collect information about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information.”

Additionally, we may collect personal data you provide to us directly, for example, when you:

• make a purchase

• sign up for a newsletter

• submit a contact form

• leave a comment or request resources

This information may include your name, email address, postal address, city of residence, organisation, telephone number, and payment-related information necessary to process your order.

We do not store your full payment card details. Payments are processed securely by our third-party payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal), who may act as separate data controllers for your payment information.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following lawful bases:

• Contract: To process your orders, deliver digital products, and manage your account if you create one.

• Consent: When you subscribe to newsletters or agree to receive marketing communications, or accept non-essential cookies.

• Legal Obligation: To comply with legal requirements, such as maintaining tax and accounting records.

• Legitimate Interests: To operate, secure, and improve our website, analyse usage, and prevent fraud, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.

• Vital Interests: Only in rare cases where necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

Why We Process Your Data

Our top priority is customer data security, and we process only the minimal user data necessary to:

• operate and maintain the website

• process orders and deliver digital products

• communicate with you (e.g. respond to enquiries, send updates you requested)

• understand how visitors use the website and improve our content and services

• comply with legal and regulatory obligations

Information collected automatically is used primarily to identify potential cases of abuse and to generate statistical information about website usage. This information is not used to identify any particular user.

You can visit the website without telling us who you are or revealing identifiable information. However, if you wish to use certain features (for example, receiving a newsletter, making a purchase, or contacting us via forms), you may be asked to provide personal data. If you choose not to provide this information, certain features may not be available to you.

Users who are unsure about what information is mandatory are welcome to contact us at hi@linamileskaite.com.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, understand site usage, and support certain features (such as remembering your preferences).

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. For more detailed information about the cookies we use and your choices regarding cookies, please see our Cookie Policy below.

Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and business, including:

• website hosting and maintenance providers (Hostinger)

• payment processors (e.g. Stripe/PayPal)

• email marketing platforms (e.g. Substack, Mailchimp)

• analytics providers (e.g. Google Analytics)

These third parties are only given access to the information they need to perform their services and are required to keep your information confidential and secure.

We do not sell your personal data.

International Data Transfers

Because our website uses external service providers (such as hosting, analytics, email delivery, or payment processors), your personal data may be transferred and processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK). This may include transfers to countries such as the United States, Canada, or other jurisdictions where some of our service providers operate.

Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA/UK, we ensure that an adequate level of protection is applied to your information.

If you are a European or UK resident, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• The right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data

• The right of access to your personal data

• The right to rectification if your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete

• The right to erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances

• The right to restrict processing in certain circumstances

• The right to data portability

• The right to object to certain types of processing

• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling (we do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects)

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hi@linamileskaite.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including:

• order and transaction information: kept as required by tax and accounting laws

• newsletter and marketing data: kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion

• analytics data: kept for a limited period for trend analysis

Once the relevant retention period expires, personal data will be deleted or anonymised.

Information Security

We store the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to secure the personal data in our control.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Legal Disclosure

We may disclose any information we collect, use, or receive if required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process), or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under this age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information.
