Thank you for visiting https://jadejackson.com.au, a website promoting the creative work of Jade Jackson, which includes writing, podcasts and photography.
I respect and protect the privacy of users of my website. Your trust is important to me and this privacy policy shows how I collect information and how it’s used.
The term “Personal Information” in this privacy policy means any information from which makes your identity known or from which it can be presumed. I do not collect personal Information about you when you visit https://jadejackson.com.au (unless you choose to fill out a quote, become a member or ‘contact us’ form).
You can access much of the content on https://jadejackson.com.au (including travel blog posts, listen to podcasts and browse travel deals) without telling me who you are or revealing other personal Information. If you send a quote or contact form, your basic personal information is requested at the time, (name, phone number, email) in order to correspond back to you. This information is stored within the email server related to the website https://jadejackson.com.au however this information is not sent or shared with any third parties.
The information is kept on file, in order to correspond with you about your quotes or bookings or orders.
Some content on the site is reserved exclusively for members. Some content requires a free membership and for this I ask you to submit your first name, email address and country of origin for the purpose of providing content (such as cheap flights based on your country of origin) relevant to you.
All content is produced by me, Jade Jackson and as I create a lot of highly valuable and worthwhile content, I think it’s only fair that occasionally I ask for something in return. Asking for your name, email address and country of origin is simply to keep out data miners, and to stop plagiarism of my site for content I work really hard to create.
My poetry and creative writing is valuable to me. As such you will not find it for free on my website. I offer paid memberships (similar to Patreon) and versions for sale in my online shop and the choice is up to you on how you access this content. You may choose to access it via a monthly membership (you may cancel at anytime), you may purchase a book or audio content from my shop (when available) or you may choose not to access it at all.
Paid memberships on my website are a way for me to cover operating costs. I’m just a small time creative, trying to make a living as a creative and this website whilst being a central hub of my creative talent, also costs money to run, so by offering memberships and products for sale, it’s a way of negating the cost of running this website and time spent producing the content.
If you have purchased a paid membership, you can manage your subscriptions, here, simply login and modify or cancel any future payments.
All information provided by you when purchasing memberships is so that I can communicate with you, as a fan from me, a content creator. I do not pass your information onto third parties. All information is securely stored within the website https://jadejackson.com.au, hosted by WordPress which uses encryption technology to prevent hackers from accessing any information.
At anytime, you can unsubscribe which removes your information and prevents me from contacting you further. It also restricts your access to to the free (non-member) content on this site.
