Our website address is: http://writeways.co.nz. WriteWays is owned by Kirstie Gill. As an editor and proofreader, Kirstie takes the privacy of her clients seriously.
If you contact WriteWays about proofreading or copy editing work, your information is stored on either Kirstie’s phone or her personal computer, both of which are password protected. WriteWays uses the details collected from you to communicate with you about ongoing or future work. They include name and email address, and sometimes phone number, website address, postal address, job title, or company or institution name. You can ask WriteWays to correct or delete any such data upon request, or clarify what data has been retained.
When requested and by mutual agreement, WriteWays uses online storage systems or word-processing software such as Dropbox or Google Docs.
Documents may be stored online or on Kirstie’s computer indefinitely, but can be deleted after the work is completed upon request.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on this site, the website collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment on this site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who WriteWays shares your information with
WriteWays will never share your data, contact information, or submitted texts with 3rd parties without your express permission. Please note that if your completed content (that has been proofread or edited in part or whole by WriteWays) is available on the internet to the general public, a link to your work may be included on this website on the portfolio page. If you do not wish for this to occur, please notify WriteWays in writing before your content is published online.
How long WriteWays retains your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so WriteWays can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments, you can request that WriteWays erase any personal data it holds about you. This does not include any data WriteWays is obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
