4. How I Use Your Information and My Lawful Bases
I use personal information only where I have a valid lawful basis.
To respond to enquiries and arrange consultations: I use your contact details and the information you provide to answer questions, arrange calls and discuss suitable services. The lawful basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or my legitimate interests in responding to enquiries.
To provide sleep-support services: I use information about your child, family, routines and sleep challenges to assess your needs, create a personalised Sleep Blueprint, provide practical guidance and deliver follow-up support. The lawful basis is performance of a contract.
To manage bookings, payments and business records: I use relevant information to administer appointments, process payments, maintain records and meet accounting or legal obligations. The lawful basis is performance of a contract and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation.
To send free resources and marketing emails: I use your contact details to send requested guides and, where you have agreed, occasional sleep tips, resources and updates. The lawful basis for optional email marketing is consent.
To improve my website and services: I may use website analytics and feedback to understand how visitors use the website and improve the experience. The lawful basis is my legitimate interests where appropriate, and consent where required for optional cookies or tracking.
To protect my business and comply with the law: I may use information where necessary to prevent misuse, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, or comply with legal requirements.
5. Information About Children and Sensitive Information
My services involve babies and young children, so I may need information about a child’s sleep, routines, development and family circumstances.
This information is normally provided by a parent or guardian. I will only ask for information that is relevant to understanding the child’s sleep and providing appropriate support.
Where I need to process special category information, such as information about a child’s health, I will identify an appropriate additional condition under UK data protection law. Where explicit consent is the appropriate condition, I will ask for it separately.
I will not use a child’s sensitive information for marketing purposes.
6. Free Resources and Email Marketing
If you request a free guide, I will use your email address to send it to you.
If you separately agree to receive marketing communications, I may also send occasional emails containing sleep tips, new resources, service information and relevant updates.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in my emails or by contacting me directly.
I will not add you to my marketing list simply because you have made an enquiry or booked a consultation. Where I rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
7. Booking Calendar, Forms and CRM
My website uses Wix and may use GoHighLevel to manage enquiry forms, booking calendars, contact records, email communications and automated follow-up messages.
When you submit a form or book a call, the information you provide may be stored within these systems so that I can respond to you, manage your appointment and provide the requested service.
I only use service providers that are appropriate for the information being processed and I take reasonable steps to ensure suitable data protection arrangements are in place.
8. WhatsApp, Zoom and Other Communications
Depending on the service you choose, I may communicate with you through email, telephone, WhatsApp or Zoom.
These services may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. I will use them for relevant business communications and will not intentionally share more personal information than is necessary.
If you would prefer to use a particular communication method, please let me know.
9. Payments
If you purchase a service, payment information may be processed by [CONFIRM PAYMENT PROVIDER].
I do not intentionally store full payment-card details on my website. Payment providers process payment information in accordance with their own security and privacy arrangements.
10. Cookies and Website Analytics
My website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work, remember preferences and understand how visitors use it.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies will only be used where the required consent has been obtained.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the website’s cookie banner or settings.

I do not sell your personal information.
I will not share your information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes without an appropriate lawful basis.
12. International Transfers
Some of the technology providers I use may process or store personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, I will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards, where required.
13. How Long I Keep Your Information
I keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting or professional obligations.
My retention periods may differ depending on whether the information relates to an enquiry, a client record, a transaction or a marketing subscription.
When information is no longer needed, I will securely delete it or anonymise it where appropriate.
14. How I Protect Your Information
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
These measures may include secure systems, password protection, restricted access, appropriate service-provider arrangements and secure deletion procedures.
No method of transmitting or storing information is completely risk-free, but I take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to me.

Request access to your personal information
