Privacy Notice
Last updated: September 2026
Ellara Group respects your privacy and will only use your personal information for the purposes described below.
Information I collect
I may collect your name, email address and any information you choose to provide when you contact me through this website or sign up to the Ellara Group mailing list.
How I use your information
If you contact me, I will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and communicate with you about any work we may undertake together.
If you sign up to the mailing list, I will use your email address to send you occasional updates, writing and information about Ellara Group. You can unsubscribe at any time.
I will not add you to the mailing list simply because you have contacted me.
For enquiries and correspondence, I process personal information where it is necessary for my legitimate interests in communicating with people interested in or working with Ellara Group, or where necessary to take steps towards entering into a contract. For the mailing list, I rely on your consent.
How your information is stored and shared
This website is hosted by Squarespace, which may process and store information submitted through the website on my behalf. I do not sell your personal information or share it with other organisations for their own marketing purposes.
Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards for international transfers are required.
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Mailing-list information is retained until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including rights to access, correct or delete it, restrict or object to its use, and withdraw your consent where I rely on consent.
To exercise your rights or ask a question about how your information is used, contact:
Amanda J Smith, trading as Ellara Group

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled.
