Who we are
This website is operated by Edward Roebuck.
Our website address is: https://www.edwardroebuck.com
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and share personal information when you visit this website or voluntarily provide information through it.
Because this is a personal website with a global audience, people who submit their information may be located in different countries and may have different legal rights regarding their personal information.
Information we collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address and other information you choose to provide.
For example, you may provide your information when you:
- request or download a PDF ebook or other resource;
- request a personalised scorecard or scorecard report;
- request a second opinion;
- voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter or other email communications;
- contact us through the website; or
- leave a comment on the website.
The information collected will depend on the particular form or service you use.
We do not require you to provide personal information unless it is reasonably necessary to provide the resource, report or service you have requested.
Ebooks and other resources
If you provide your contact details in order to receive a PDF ebook or other free resource, we may use the information you provide to deliver the resource to you.
We do not retain your contact details for ongoing marketing purposes unless you separately opt in to receive our newsletter or other marketing communications, or you have requested a second opinion, consultation, or otherwise asked us to contact you.
Personalised scorecard reports
If you provide information in order to receive a personalised scorecard or report, we may use the information you provide to prepare and deliver that report.
The information required will depend on the nature of the scorecard and may include information you voluntarily provide about your circumstances, objectives or preferences.
Unless you separately opt in to ongoing communications or request a second opinion or consultation, we do not retain your contact details for ongoing marketing purposes after the report has been provided, subject to any information that we may be required to retain for legitimate administrative, legal or security purposes.
Consultation requests
If you request a second opinion, consultation, or place a formal enquiry about provision of services, we may retain the information you provide for up to 12 months.
This allows us to respond to your request, maintain an appropriate record of the enquiry and, where relevant, follow up with you.
After this period, we will delete or anonymise the personal information associated with the request where reasonably practicable, unless we have another legitimate reason or legal obligation to retain it.
Newsletter and marketing communications
If you voluntarily opt in to receive our newsletter or other ongoing marketing communications, we will retain your contact details for this purpose until you unsubscribe.
You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us.
Unsubscribing will stop future marketing communications, although we may retain a limited record of your unsubscribe request so that we can respect your preference and avoid sending you unwanted communications.
How we use your information
Depending on how you interact with the website, we may use your personal information to:
- provide an ebook, report or other resource you have requested;
- prepare and provide a personalised scorecard;
- respond to a request for a second opinion;
- communicate with you when you have asked us to do so;
- send newsletters or other marketing communications where you have opted in;
- introduce or refer you to an appropriate third party where this is relevant to your enquiry and permitted by applicable law;
- operate, maintain and improve the website;
- prevent spam, fraud or misuse of the website; and
- comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
We will not use your contact details for ongoing marketing where you have only provided them to receive an ebook or other resource, unless you have separately opted in to receive such communications or have otherwise requested ongoing contact.
Introducing enquiries and leads to third parties
This is a personal website, and in some circumstances an enquiry or lead generated through the website may be introduced to a third party for business purposes. Where appropriate, information reasonably necessary to facilitate such an introduction may be shared with that third party. This may include your name, contact details and information you have provided about the nature of your enquiry.
Once your information has been provided to a third party, that organisation may process your information under its own privacy policy and terms. You should review the privacy policy of any organisation to which you are introduced.
Email marketing and Kit
We use Kit.com as our email marketing and communications platform.
If you opt in to receive our newsletter or other ongoing email communications, your name, email address and relevant subscription information may be stored and processed by Kit on our behalf.
Kit may process information in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms. You can find more information about how Kit handles personal information in its privacy documentation.
You can unsubscribe from our email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails.
Cookies

If you leave a comment on the site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to enter your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for up to one year.
If you visit a login page, a temporary cookie may be used to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in to the website, cookies may be used to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies may last for two days, while screen-option cookies may last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for two weeks.
If you log out, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
The website may also use other cookies or similar technologies provided by third-party services. The exact cookies used may change as the website and its services develop.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it.
The Gravatar service privacy policy is available from Automattic.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Comments and associated information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the website and manage the comments section.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the website may be able to download images from the website and extract embedded location data from them.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles or other material.
Embedded content from other websites behaves in much the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.
Those websites may collect information about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This may occur particularly if you are logged into an account with the relevant third-party service.
How long we retain your data
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
In particular:
- Ebooks and free resources: providing your contact details solely to receive an ebook or other resource does not, by itself, result in your contact details being retained for ongoing marketing.
- Personalised scorecard reports: contact details provided solely to receive a report are not retained for ongoing marketing unless you separately opt in or request further contact.
- Second opinion requests: information associated with a second opinion request may be retained for up to 12 months.
- Newsletter subscribers: contact details are retained until you unsubscribe.
- Comments: comments and associated information may be retained as necessary to operate and administer the website.
- Legal, administrative and security records: some information may need to be retained for longer where reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements or protect the website and its users.
When personal information is no longer required, we will seek to delete or anonymise it where reasonably practicable.
Where your data is stored and processed
Some of the services we use may store or process personal information in countries other than the country in which you live.
This may include our website hosting provider, email marketing provider, spam prevention services and other technology providers.
Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information transferred internationally is subject to appropriate safeguards.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Where you have opted in to email communications, relevant information may be processed by Kit.
Where you have requested or consented to an introduction or referral, relevant information may be shared with a third party, including Forest Wealth where appropriate.
Third-party service providers may process personal information on our behalf or independently in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable law.
Analytics and tracking
We may use analytics, advertising and similar technologies provided by third parties to understand how visitors use the website, improve our services and, where applicable, measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing.
These technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and information about how you interact with the website.
Third-party services may include services such as Google Analytics, Meta and other analytics or advertising platforms. The services used may change from time to time.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies. You can also control cookies through your browser and, where available, the settings provided by the relevant service.
