Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18th June 2025

Hi! This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use this website. I’m based in the UK, so this policy follows the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

Who I am

This website is run by Debbie Slater/Debbie Joy .
My contact email is debbiejoylaser@gmail.com. I’m the data controller for this site — meaning I decide how your data is used and protected.

What personal data I collect (and why)

I only collect the data I need to keep things running smoothly. That might include:

Email address
– When you sign up to my newsletter
– When you send me a message via the contact form or directly

I use this to:

  • Send you updates, tips, or news (only if you’ve opted in)

  • Respond to your message or support request

Lawful basis for collecting your data

Under UK GDPR, I rely on the following lawful bases:

  • Consent – if you sign up to the newsletter, you’ve given me permission to email you

  • Legitimate interests – when you contact me, I use your details to respond
    You can withdraw consent any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email or contacting me directly.

Sharing your data

I never sell, rent, or trade your personal info.
Your data may be stored securely through:

  • My email provider: Mailerlite

  • My website provide: Squarespace

All tools I use are GDPR-compliant, and your data is stored securely.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data I hold about you

  • Correct anything that’s inaccurate

  • Ask for your data to be deleted

  • Withdraw consent at any time

  • Lodge a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) if you believe your data hasn’t been handled properly

To do any of the above, just email me at debbiejoylaser@gmail.com.

Cookies

This site may use basic cookies to make it work better (like keeping things speedy or remembering what page you were on). You can turn cookies off in your browser settings if you prefer.

Etsy

If you purchase a product from me via Etsy, your transaction and personal data (like your name, address, and payment info) are handled by Etsy under their own terms and privacy policy. I only receive the details necessary to fulfil your order, and I never use them for anything else.

You can read Etsy’s privacy policy here.

Changes to this policy

This policy might be updated now and then — especially if things change with the way I run my site or how the law applies. I’ll always post the latest version here, with the updated date at the top.
