Privacy Information and Cookies

Last updated: May 25, 2026.

In one paragraph

This website stores a single confirmation in your browser (that you're 18+), and nothing else. It does not track you, profile you, sell your data, or place advertising cookies. The newsletter form and the contact form are the only places where I collect an email address. This does not happen automatically, but requires you to enter the information and consent to the transfer by clicking the "Submit" button.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit this website, use the contact form, or subscribe to the newsletter. I am committed to handling your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable European Union data protection laws.

Collection of General Data and Information

The website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches my website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on my information technology systems. When using these general data and information, I do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of my website correctly, (2) optimize the content of my website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of my information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, I analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data I process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

What this site stores

Age-gate confirmation. When you click "I am 18 or older", a single value is stored in your browser's localStorage. It never leaves your machine. To clear it, clear site data for kimberley-jackson.com in your browser settings.

No analytics, no ad cookies, no third-party trackers. This site embeds no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no advertising network. All fonts are loaded from directly from my own server.

Third Parties

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM (ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Germany). Personal data transmitted through this website, such as server log data, may be processed on the servers of the hosting provider for the purpose of providing and securing the website.

The contact form and, where applicable, newsletter forms use StaticForms to process submitted form data. Information entered into these forms may therefore be transmitted to and processed by StaticForms solely for the purpose of handling the request or delivering the requested service.

Both providers act as technical service providers in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Personal data will not be sold or shared with unauthorized third parties.

Newsletter Subscription

Visitors to my website may subscribe to my newsletter by providing their e-mail address through the subscription form on the website. The information entered into the form determines which personal data are transmitted to me when subscribing to the newsletter.

I use the newsletter to provide readers, customers, and interested persons with updates about my books, projects, website content, and related information. A person may only receive the newsletter if (1) they have a valid e-mail address and (2) they register for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify that the owner of the e-mail address has authorized the subscription.

When registering for the newsletter, I also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. This data is collected in order to prevent misuse of e-mail addresses and to provide legal protection if necessary.

The personal data collected as part of the newsletter subscription will only be used for sending the newsletter. Subscribers may also receive e-mails if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service, for example in the event of technical changes or modifications to the newsletter itself. Personal data collected for the newsletter will not be shared with third parties.

The newsletter subscription may be cancelled at any time. Consent to the storage and use of personal data for the newsletter may also be revoked at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link is included in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe directly through the website or by contacting me in another way.

My newsletters may contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a small graphic embedded in HTML e-mails that allows statistical analysis of newsletter performance. This makes it possible to determine whether and when an e-mail was opened and which links were clicked.

The data collected through tracking pixels is used exclusively to analyze and optimize the newsletter and to better tailor future content to the interests of subscribers. This personal data will not be shared with third parties.

Subscribers may revoke their consent to newsletter tracking at any time through the unsubscribe process described above. After revocation, the related personal data will be deleted. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically considered a withdrawal of consent to newsletter tracking.

Contact Form

My website contains information that enables quick electronic contact, including a general e-mail address and, where applicable, a contact form.

If a person contacts me by e-mail or through the contact form, the personal data provided voluntarily by that person will be stored automatically for the purpose of processing the request or responding to the inquiry.

The contact form and, where applicable, newsletter forms use StaticForms to process submitted form data. Information entered into these forms may therefore be transmitted to and processed by StaticForms solely for the purpose of handling the request or delivering the requested service.

Cookies & fonts

This site sets no first-party cookies. The age-gate uses localStorage, which is technically distinct from a cookie and is not sent to any server.

Your rights under the GDPR

a) Right to Confirmation

You have the right to obtain confirmation from me as to whether I process personal data concerning you.

If you wish to exercise this right, you may contact me at any time.

b) Right of Access

You have the right to receive free information about the personal data I store about you, as well as a copy of that data.

You also have the right to obtain information about:

  • the purposes of the processing;
  • the categories of personal data processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, especially recipients in third countries or international organizations;
  • where possible, the planned storage period for the personal data, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
  • the existence of the right to request correction, deletion, or restriction of processing of your personal data, or to object to such processing;
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • where the personal data was not collected directly from you, any available information about the source of the data;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and meaningful information about the logic involved and the possible consequences of such processing.

You also have the right to be informed whether personal data is transferred to a third country or international organization and, where applicable, about the safeguards used for such transfers.

If you wish to exercise your right of access, you may contact me at any time.

c) Right to Rectification

You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay.

You also have the right to request completion of incomplete personal data, including by providing a supplementary statement where appropriate.

If you wish to exercise this right, you may contact me at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

You have the right to request that I delete your personal data without undue delay where one of the following applies, provided processing is not otherwise legally required:

  • the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed;
  • you withdraw consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal basis for processing;
  • you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;
  • the personal data has been processed unlawfully;
  • the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation under European Union or Member State law;
  • the personal data was collected in relation to information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of these reasons applies and you wish to request deletion of your personal data, you may contact me at any time. I will process the deletion request without undue delay.

Where I have made personal data public and am legally required to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, I will take reasonable steps, taking available technology and implementation costs into account, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that you have requested deletion of any links to, copies of, or replications of that data, insofar as processing is not required.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period allowing me to verify the accuracy of the data;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose deletion of the personal data and request restriction of its use instead;
  • I no longer need the personal data for processing purposes, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
  • you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification whether my legitimate grounds override yours.

If one of these conditions applies and you wish to request restriction of processing, you may contact me at any time.

f) Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you provided to me in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from me, provided that:

  • the processing is based on consent or on a contract; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

Where technically feasible, you also have the right to request direct transfer of your personal data from one controller to another, provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise your right to data portability, you may contact me at any time.

g) Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, I will no longer process your personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If I process personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling related to direct marketing. If you object, I will stop processing your personal data for these purposes.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for reasons of public interest.

To exercise your right to object, you may contact me at any time. You may also exercise this right by automated means using technical specifications where applicable.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless the decision:

  • is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and me;
  • is authorized by European Union or Member State law and includes appropriate safeguards for your rights and freedoms; or
  • is based on your explicit consent.

Where such processing is permitted, I will implement appropriate safeguards to protect your rights and freedoms, including the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision.

If you wish to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, you may contact me at any time.

i) Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, you may contact me at any time.

Children

My books are meant for adults. They should not be available to anyone under the age of 18. Relevant websites such as Amazon where my books are for sale, usually have measures in place to make sure those age restrictions are adhered to. If you are under 18, please leave. And if a guardian believes a minor has subscribed to the newsletter under their address, please write me a message and I will remove it immediately.

Changes to this notice

If the way the site handles data changes in any meaningful way, this page will be updated and the change noted in the Journal. The current version is May 22, 2026.
