Legitimate Interest
I have not asked my email subscribers to resubscribe based on the ‘legitimate interest’ information laid out by the ICO.
- the purpose of which is for email subscribers to access information and seasonal ebooks
- necessity – this information could not be accessed otherwise
- balance – when individuals subscribed to the email list of Gathered Threads it was in order to be able to access these seasonal ebooks and updated posts from the website.
There has been an expectation by individuals when subscribing to Gathered Threads that these website updates and the accessibility to seasonal ebooks would be sent via email to them.
I do not bombard or send excessive volumes of emails and those sent are specifically related to the website Gathered Threads or to the associated ebooks.
There is clear information on how to unsubscribe at the base of each email via MailChimp so if individuals wish to be removed from my email list this is available at all times.
The personal information gathered by me through the website Gathered Threads and how it is collected and stored is available in my privacy policy.
