Mailing List
We use Mailchimp to manage our subscriber list and send out email updates. Your data is held by Mailchimp, and may be held outside the UK or EU. By signing up to our email list you consent to your data being passed to and held by Mailchimp, and that we may access these details.
We do not share your email address with other third parties, except where required by law. Your email address is used only for sending updates by us, the blog’s authors.
Mailchimp tracks whether you open our emails, and whether you click on any links in the emails. This is so we can remove subscribers who no longer engage. Mailchimp also tracks the device used to read your emails so that they are sent in the most suitable format.
To receive a copy of your Mailchimp data you should email hello@businessclassnuts.com. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link and you may unsubscribe from our emails at any time. Unsubscribing via this link will be actioned immediately. You can also contact us by emailing hello@businessclassnuts.com to request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (apart from any data we are obliged to keep for legal purposes).
