Privacy policy for personal data according to the GDPR

GDPR is about YOU and how I process YOUR personal data in my company's Pia Lerigan's author service & Pia Lerigon AB. Due to the fact that I want you to read this, I've skipped the legalese and tried to make it easier to read. I strive to process your personal data in an accurate and trustworthy manner in connection with you visiting my websites www.pialerigon.se, www.pialerigon.com and www.skrivenbestseller.se, my course platforms via Simplero or if you use any of my services.

In order for you to be able to use the services available on my websites or my course platforms, or if you want to hire my company, it is required that you give me access to certain personal data such as your name, social security number, email address, postal address or phone number. Yes, things I need to be able to email you my courses or when we sign a contract for you to use my services. If you need to log in to the course portal with a password, or pay with a credit card, that information will be saved as long as you are a customer of my company and use my services. It may also be stored when you leave comments, chat in my Facebook group/websites/course portal, or when you share your scripts with me so that I can help you to become a better writer.

As well, the websites and the course portal store cookies which track what you looked at. These are statistics about which IP addresses visited my pages, traffic data, mail tracking, operating system, browser settings, search history, device types etc. I receive statistics from the company that provides the websites and the course portal so that I can see how many visitors I had, how many read my emails etc.

And yes - if you share this information with me, you give me your consent for me to store the information in my company to be able to provide my services to you and to be able to manage my accounting and such.

I am obliged by law to save certain data about you for at least ten years and other data I must have in order for you to use my services. It is my responsibility that this information is secure. I allow the companies that provide the emails (Google), website (Home 24), course portal (Simplero), payment services (Swedbank, Stripe, Paypal, Klarna), accounting and invoicing software (Speedledger) to manage security. 

Then I save work, notes, contracts and invoices physically in binders in the office and digitally on my computer, server, backup and in a cloud service (Microsoft One Drive and Amazon Photo). For that I have virus protection on my computers and a lock on the door. I'm a small sole proprietorship and do my best to keep your information safe with me in my business, however don't share sensitive information - Which I don't ask for. You should be able to easily reject course letters and newsletters that you receive via email automatically by following the information at the bottom of the email. But if it doesn't work or you're wondering about something else, please get in touch. I am the person in charge of personal data in the company. It is therefore me you should contact if you have questions about what personal data I store about you, or you want to withdraw your consent to me storing this data. If you have children under the age of 16 who you know have shared personal data with my company against your will - contact me and we will find a solution. It's not more complicated than that.
