Privacy policy

Last updated: 9/11/2026

This website belongs to Louisa Lynne Husain (trading as Louisa Lynne), a writer based in

the UK. I care about your privacy, and I keep the information I hold about you to a

minimum. This page explains what I collect, why, and what you can ask me to do with it.

Who is responsible for your information

I am the data controller for this website. If you have any questions about your information,

email me at hello@louisalynne.co.uk.

What I collect and why

When you email me. If you write to me, I receive your name, your email address and

whatever you choose to tell me. I use this only to reply to you and, if we work together, to

manage that work. My legal basis is my legitimate interest in answering enquiries, or

taking steps towards a contract if you'd like to work with me.

When you visit this website. My site is hosted by Squarespace. Like most websites, it

uses cookies and collects basic information about visits, such as the pages viewed, the

type of device and browser, roughly where in the world the visit came from, and how you

found the site. I see this only as anonymous totals, which help me understand what

people read. Essential cookies keep the site working. Analytics cookies are only used if

you agree to them through the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time.

There is no contact form, shop or newsletter sign-up on this website, so I don't collect any

other information through it.

Who else handles your information

I never sell your information or share it for marketing. A few trusted services handle it on

my behalf:

Squarespace, which hosts this website. Y ou can read the Squarespace privacy policy.

Google Workspace / Microsoft 365], which hosts my email.

Some of these services store data outside the UK. They use recognised legal safeguards,

such as the UK's approved contract clauses, to protect it.

Links to other websites

This site links to my Substack and [Instagram]. When you click through, you leave my

website, and their own privacy policies apply. If you subscribe to my Substack, Substack

holds your details, not this website.

How long I keep it

I keep emails from enquiries that don't lead to work for up to 12 months, then delete them.

If we work together, I keep business records for six years after the end of the tax year

they relate to, as HMRC requires.

Y our rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

ask for a copy of the information I hold about you

ask me to correct it

object to, or ask me to limit, how I use it

withdraw your consent to cookies at any time

T o use any of these rights, just email me at [your email address]. I'll reply within one

month.

Concerns and complaints

If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, please tell me first and I'll do my

best to put it right. Y ou also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's

Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

If I change how I use your information, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
