Privacy Policy 

Your privacy is as important to me as it is to you. Here's how I protect it.

Introduction

I’m Neil Fenton, and I’m the owner of this website, Being-Vegan.com.

Like you, I value privacy highly, and I treat the information you choose to share with me with the utmost respect and care. I’ve taken steps under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to ensure that any information you provide is secure, used appropriately, and fully within your control.

This privacy policy explains exactly why I might collect information, what happens to it, who may see it, and how I keep it safe. If anything here isn’t clear, you are always welcome to reach out via my contact page.

I apply the same standards of honesty, fairness, and transparency in my privacy practices that I hold for all the work published on Being-Vegan.com.

Why I Collect Information

I collect information to:

  • Properly run and maintain the website.
  • Make your experience more personal, efficient, and enjoyable.
  • Improve my content, services, and user support.
  • Communicate with you if you choose to contact me or subscribe.
  • Deliver newsletters, promotions, surveys, or resources you opt into receiving.
  • Keep you updated on topics related to health, wellness, veganism, and personal growth.

Personal Information Collection

I never collect personally identifiable information (such as your name or email address) without your clear consent.

You may be asked for personal information if:

  • You subscribe to my newsletter.
  • You complete a contact form to get in touch.
  • You participate in a survey, giveaway, or promotion.

In every case:

  • Your personal data will only be used for the specific purpose you agreed to.
  • Your information will not be shared, rented, or sold.
  • You can unsubscribe or request deletion at any time.

  • Website Hosting: My website is hosted by a trusted provider that securely stores non-sensitive data related to website traffic and usage.


Your Rights Under GDPR

Regardless of where you live, I follow GDPR standards for your protection. You have the right to:

  • Request access to the data I hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Withdraw consent for communications at any time (unsubscribe links are in every email).
