At Paula Proofs and Edits, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard the information you share with me when you use my proofreading and editing services.

When you contact me or use my services, I may collect the following information:

• Personal details: your name, email address, telephone number, and any other contact information you provide.
   
• Project materials: documents, manuscripts, or other written work you send for proofreading/editing.
   
• Payment information: where necessary, for processing invoices and payments (via secure third-party providers).
   
• Communication records: emails or messages exchanged regarding your project.
   

I only use your information to:

• Provide proofreading and editing services.
   
• Communicate with you about your project.
   
• Issue invoices and process payments.
   
• Keep records of work completed for accounting and tax purposes.
   

I will never use your personal data for marketing without your consent and I do not sell or share your information with third parties.

I understand that your written work may contain sensitive or unpublished material. All documents shared with me are treated with the strictest confidentiality. I will not disclose, reproduce, or distribute your work without your permission.

• Digital files are stored securely on password-protected devices.
   
• Emails are accessed only through secure, encrypted services.
   
• Files are kept for a limited period (usually up to 12 months after completion of the project) unless you request otherwise, after which they are permanently deleted.
   

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data I hold about you.
   
• Ask for corrections if your personal details are inaccurate.
   
• Request deletion of your data once it is no longer needed.
   
• Withdraw consent for me to hold or use your data at any time.
   

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at paulaking.pk63@outlook.com.

I may use trusted third-party services (such as PayPal, bank services, or secure cloud storage) to process payments or store files. These services have their own privacy policies, which I recommend you review.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this website with a revised effective date.
