We process personal data only for specified and legitimate purposes, using an appropriate legal basis under applicable data protection law.

Responding to contact form enquiries

We process the information you provide through our contact form to respond to your enquiry, communicate with you and manage any necessary follow-up. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to communications and maintaining contact with visitors.

Sending mailing-list updates

We process your email address to send occasional updates about new book releases, free colouring pages and other news relating to Winat Publishing. The legal basis is your consent, which you provide by actively opting in to the mailing list.

We use a double opt-in process, meaning that after submitting your email address, you must confirm your subscription through a confirmation email before you are added to the active mailing list. This helps verify your email address and confirm your intention to subscribe.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Managing subscriptions and unsubscribe requests

We process the information necessary to manage subscriptions, record consent and honour unsubscribe requests. This is based on our legitimate interests in administering the mailing list and ensuring that your communication preferences are respected, together with any applicable legal obligations.

Managing cookie preferences

We use our cookie consent management solution to record and manage your cookie preferences and comply with applicable legal requirements. The legal basis depends on the relevant technology and processing activity.

Website analytics

We use website analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve its content and functionality. Where analytics cookies or similar technologies require consent, we process the relevant data on the basis of that consent. Any other analytics processing will be carried out under an appropriate legal basis, where applicable.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider those interests alongside your rights and freedoms.

You are not required to subscribe to our mailing list to contact us or access our free website resources.

4. Mailing list and email communications

By subscribing to our mailing list, you agree to receive occasional email updates about Winat Publishing, including new publications, free colouring pages and related news.

We use the email address you provide solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and do not sell our mailing list to third parties.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails or contacting us directly.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

We may retain a limited record of an unsubscribe request where necessary to ensure that we respect your preferences and do not send further marketing emails without appropriate consent.
