Privacy notice

This notice explains how information is used when you visit deutschmann.co.uk, the personal author website of Bishop Ashley R. Deutschmann. It covers this website, rather than Amazon, Goodreads or other websites you may choose to visit from it.

Who is responsible

Ashley R. Deutschmann is responsible for this website and its use of personal information. For privacy questions or a request about your information, email [email protected].

Visiting the website

You can read the book pages without creating an account or accepting analytics. This website has no checkout, account registration or contact form. Purchases take place on Amazon under Amazon’s own terms and privacy notice.

To deliver pages and protect the service, the website’s hosting and security systems receive technical information such as your IP address, requested page, time of request and browser information. This processing supports the legitimate interests of operating a reliable, secure website and diagnosing faults. It is separate from optional analytics.

Your choices and essential storage

Your privacy choice is stored in your browser for up to 180 days. If you choose to pause animations, that setting is remembered for the browser tab’s session. These settings are used to honour the preferences you request, rather than to measure your visits. See the cookie policy for the storage names and durations.

Optional Google Analytics

Only if you agree, Google Analytics measures visits and interactions, such as pages viewed, session activity, browser and device characteristics and approximate location. Google processes technical connection information and cookie identifiers to provide these reports. The reports help us understand how the website is used and where it could be improved.

The basis for this optional processing is your consent. The website does not load Google Analytics before you accept it, and rejecting analytics does not restrict access to the books. Advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation are not enabled by this website. We do not ask you to supply personal, pastoral or religious-belief information for analytics.

You can withdraw consent at any time using the Cookie settings control at the foot of the page. Withdrawal stops future analytics on this website and removes its accessible Google Analytics cookies. If analytics has already loaded, the page refreshes to unload it. Withdrawal does not undo processing that took place while consent was active.

Fonts and other providers

The website’s fonts and images are served from this website. Displaying the pages does not require your browser to contact Google Fonts. Google Analytics contacts Google only if you allow optional analytics.

Website hosting and security providers process requests to deliver and protect the site. Google provides the optional analytics service described above. When you follow an external link, the destination website’s own privacy and cookie rules apply. We do not control those services.

Storage periods and international processing

The consent choice and the analytics cookies configured by this website have a maximum lifetime of 180 days; browser restrictions may shorten that period. Closing a tab ends its animation-preference session. Clearing your browser’s site data removes saved choices, so the website will ask again.

Browser storage periods are different from the retention of records held by service providers. Hosting and security records are kept for operational, troubleshooting and security needs. Google Analytics records follow the property’s retention settings; aggregate reports may be retained longer. You can contact us for the current retention arrangements or to ask about deletion of information relating to you.

Service providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States. Their processing and applicable transfer safeguards are described in their privacy and data-processing information. See Google’s privacy policy and Google’s data-processing terms.

Your rights and questions

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask to access, correct or erase personal information, restrict its use, object to processing based on legitimate interests, or receive a portable copy. You may withdraw consent at any time. These rights can depend on the circumstances and the information we can identify as relating to you.

Contact the email address above to raise a concern or exercise your rights. Please do not send identity documents or sensitive pastoral information with an initial enquiry. If you are in the UK, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office; elsewhere, you can contact your local data-protection authority.

Changes to this notice

We will update this page if the website’s data use changes. Where a change requires fresh consent, the privacy popup will ask again before optional analytics runs.
