This Privacy Policy explains how Chloe Crosby, trading as “We Write Your Content Limited” (“we”, “us”, “our”, “I”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit www.imjustagirl16.co.uk (the “Website”), subscribe to our email newsletter, purchase a digital product, or otherwise interact with us.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently. We adhere to the standards of the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Who we are (Data Controller)
The data controller responsible for your personal information is:
- Name / business: Chloe Crosby, trading as “We Write Your Content Limited”
- Contact email: admin@imjustagirl16.co.uk
2. The information we collect
Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect:
- Information you give us directly: your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, your name, email, and message when you contact us; and the details you provide when you purchase a digital product.
- Payment information: when you buy a digital product, payment is processed by our checkout provider (Payhip) and its payment processors. We do not receive or store your full card details; we receive confirmation of purchase and limited order information (such as your name and email).
- Information collected automatically: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, approximate location (derived from IP), the pages you visit, referring website, and the dates/times of your visits. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see our separate Cookie Policy).
- Advertising data: our advertising partner (Mediavine) and its partners collect data to serve and measure advertising (see Section 6 and the Cookie Policy).
- Email engagement data: when you receive our newsletter, we may collect data about whether you opened an email or clicked a link, to help us improve our content.
We do not intentionally collect special category data. At no time should you provide sensitive personal data to us.
3. Anonymous Data
From time to time, we may use anonymous data, which does not identify you alone, or when combined with data from other parties. This type of anonymous data may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Examples of this anonymous data may include analytics or information collected from cookies.
4. How and why we use your information
We rely on the following:
| What we do | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|
| Send you our email newsletter | Because you asked us to | Consent (you can withdraw it at any time) |
| Fulfil and deliver a digital product you bought | To provide what you paid for | Performance of a contract |
| Keep records of sales | Tax and accounting law | Legal obligation |
| Keep the Website secure and working | To protect the site and visitors | Legitimate interests |
| Measure site traffic and serve advertising via cookies | To fund and improve the site | Consent (via our cookie banner) |
| Respond to your messages, comments and enquiries | To communicate with you at your request | Legitimate interests |
5. Our email newsletter
When you subscribe, we add you to our mailing list, which is stored in Kit (formerly ConvertKit), our email service provider. We use this to send you travel tips, updates, and occasional information about our products or recommendations.
- For sign-ups made through forms on this Website, we use a double opt-in process: you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription.
- For sign-ups made elsewhere (for example, where you have given clear, specific consent through another channel such as our group on Facebook), we add you on the basis of that documented consent.
- Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. You can withdraw consent at any time, and it is as easy to opt out as it was to opt in.
We may apply a “tag” to your record noting where you signed up so we can understand our audience.
6. Digital products
We sell digital products (such as travel guides and e-books) through Payhip, which provides the checkout and acts as our store platform. Payhip and its payment processors process your payment and certain order data as described in each platform’s own privacy policy. Please also see our Terms & Conditions for the terms governing purchases.
7. Advertising (Mediavine)
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

8. Affiliate links and other third parties
We participate in affiliate networks and programmes, including the Amazon Associates Programme, as well as other travel partners. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
When you click an affiliate link, the partner may set a cookie to track that the referral came from us. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Cookie Policy and Terms & Conditions for more.
The Website is supported by a small number of service providers acting as data processors on our behalf, including our web hosting provider, our email marketing platform (see Section 5), our digital product platform (see Section 6), our advertising partner Mediavine (see Section 7), our analytics provider, and tools providing social sharing functionality. Where these processors are based outside the UK, we rely on the safeguards described in Section 9.
9. International data transfers
We are based in the UK, but some of our service providers are based in the United States or other countries. Where your data is transferred to them, we rely on the legal safeguards required under UK data protection law. For details of the safeguards applying to any specific transfer, please email admin@imjustagirl16.co.uk.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have some or all of the following rights:
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to: access your data; correct it; and in some circumstances, erase it; restrict its processing or object to processing. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk); in the EU, your local data protection authority.
To exercise any right, contact us at admin@imjustagirl16.co.uk. We will respond within the timeframes required by law. We may need to verify your identity first.
Except when required by law, We do not sell or share your email address with third parties unless you have explicitly authorised us to do so.
In the event that the Site or substantially all of its assets is sold or disposed of as a going concern, whether by merger, sale of assets or otherwise, or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership, the information we have collected about you may be one of the assets sold or merged in connection with that transaction.
11. Comments
If you leave a comment on the Website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user-agent string to help detect spam. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
12. Data retention
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary:
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data.
- Purchases: for as long as required by UK tax and accounting law.

The Website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16, and digital products may only be purchased by those aged 18 or over. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if our practices change, as technology changes, or as we add new services or change existing ones. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised.
If we make any material changes to our Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, or we are going to use any personal information in a manner that is materially different from that stated in our Privacy Policy at the time we collected such information, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to consent to the change. If you do not consent, your personal information will be used as agreed to under the terms of the privacy policy in effect at the time we obtained that information. By using our Site or services after the Effective Date, you are deemed to consent to our then-current privacy policy. We will use information previously obtained in accordance with the Privacy Policy in effect when the information was obtained from you.

Affiliate link disclaimer
Occasionally, I will use affiliate links throughout my posts which means I earn a teeny tiny commission if you buy anything through my link, at no extra cost to yourself.
There may also be the occasional sponsored or gifted post but all opinions will always be my own and I will never recommend or review anything that I don’t 100% love.
Please note that I don’t currently accept guest posts on my blog as every piece of content featured on my blog is written by myself.
This travel blog is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
