PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 26, 2026
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform users of the website maywilsonauthor.com
about how their personal data may be collected and processed.
Respecting your privacy and protecting your personal data are important.
Data processing carried out in connection with the website is performed in accordance with
the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and applicable French legislation.
1. Data Controller
The controller responsible for the personal data collected via the website is:
Marlène Mongue-Din
Author name: May Wilson
Sole trader (Entrepreneur individuel)
SIREN: 903 482 396
Address: 53 rue de la Comète - 92600 Asnières-sur-Seine - France
E-mail: May_wilsonAuthor@pm.me
2. Data that may be collected
Depending on how you use the website, May Wilson may collect data that you voluntarily
provide when signing up for the newsletter—primarily your email address and, if the form
includes the option, your first name or surname.
Certain technical information may also be processed while you browse the site, such as your
IP address, the type of browser or device used, the pages viewed, and specific browsing
details, provided such data is necessary for the website's operation and security or is
collected via cookies or other tracking technologies.
The exact nature of this latter data will depend on the tools actually installed on the
website.
3. Newsletters
Visitors may choose to subscribe to May Wilson’s newsletter to receive updates regarding the author, her publications, new releases, literary projects, events, or special offers.
When the newsletter constitutes commercial solicitation, sending it to individuals generally requires their prior consent. The CNIL specifies that such consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
Therefore, newsletter subscription must not be a mandatory requirement for accessing the site’s standard content. The CNIL expressly recommends this principle for promotional websites that offer a newsletter.
Subscribers may withdraw their consent at any time, notably by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
4. Data retention period for newsletter-related data
Data used for solicitation purposes is retained for a period that is limited and proportionate to that purpose.
As a guideline, the CNIL specifies a retention period of three years—starting from the date of collection or the prospect's last contact—for data used for commercial solicitation purposes.
Information strictly necessary to process an unsubscribe or opt-out request may be retained to prevent a person who has asked not to receive further communications from being re-subscribed by mistake.
5. Links to purchase books
The site may contain links allowing visitors to access third-party platforms—such as Amazon—to view or purchase May Wilson’s books.
When you click on one of these links, you leave maywilsonauthor.com and access the relevant third-party site. Any subsequent data processing carried out by this platform
is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
May Wilson is not responsible for data processing activities carried out
independently by these third-party platforms.
Important: if the Amazon links are affiliate links that allow May Wilson to
earn a commission on purchases, this must be clearly stated on the site, and
this section must be adapted accordingly—particularly regarding the specific tracking technologies used.
6. Cookies and other trackers
The site may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for its
operation.
Additional cookies may be used to measure site traffic, integrate content from
third-party services, or enable specific features.
Where required by regulations, these trackers are placed or read only after
obtaining the user's consent. The CNIL notably notes that advertising trackers
require prior consent.
The user must be able to accept or refuse these trackers and modify their
choice at a later time.
7. Recipients and service providers
Personal data is accessible to May Wilson as well as to service providers she
may engage when necessary for the operation of the site and the services
offered.
This may include, in particular:
the site hosting provider;
the technical provider responsible for the site’s operation;
the provider used to manage and send the newsletter.
These providers must process data only within the scope of the services
entrusted to them and in accordance with applicable regulations.
8. Data transfers outside the European Union
Certain technical providers may process or host data outside the
European Economic Area.
When such a transfer occurs, May Wilson ensures that it relies on a mechanism
authorized by applicable data protection regulations.
This section should be specified based on the providers actually used.
9. Security
May Wilson implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to
protect personal data against, in particular, loss, unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Service providers involved in data processing are also selected based on
the appropriate safeguards they offer regarding data protection.
10. Your rights
In accordance with applicable regulations, depending on the circumstances, you may
have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your data,
as well as the right to object and the right to data portability where applicable.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may also withdraw that consent
at any time.
To exercise your rights or ask a question regarding the processing of your personal
data, you may contact:
Proof of identity may be requested only when necessary to verify the identity
of the person making the request.
