Last updated: 23 September 2026

Blank Page Club (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a writing community run by Kelly Fisher.

We care about your privacy and want you to understand what information we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it.

If you choose to receive marketing or other regular updates from Blank Page Club, we may use your name and email address to send them to you.

You can unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or by contacting us.

We will not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Payments

Blank Page Club may provide bank details on its website so that members can arrange regular payments directly to our bank account.

We do not ask you to provide your online banking password, PIN or full banking login details.

Where payments are made directly through your bank, your bank will process the transaction under its own terms and privacy policy.

We may keep appropriate records of payments received for accounting and legal purposes.

6. Squarespace and other third parties

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may process personal information and technical information on our behalf as part of providing its website services.

We may also use other service providers where necessary to run Blank Page Club, such as email, event management, payment, accounting or communication services.

Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we expect them to handle that information appropriately and securely.

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be in place in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

7. Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may help us understand how people use our website and improve it.

Squarespace may use cookies as part of providing its website and hosting services.

Where applicable, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

8. Social media

Our website contains links to social media pages, including our Facebook and other social media accounts.

Clicking these links will take you to the relevant social media platform. Those platforms have their own privacy policies and terms, and we are not responsible for how they process your information once you leave our website.

Simply clicking a link to one of our social media pages does not mean that we automatically receive information about your activity on that platform.

9. How long do we keep your information?

We only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it.

How long we keep information will depend on why we collected it. For example, some financial and accounting records need to be kept for longer because of legal requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or dispose of it securely.

10. Keeping your information secure

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from being lost, misused, accessed without permission, altered or disclosed improperly.

However, no website or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights including:

The right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
The right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
The right to ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
The right to ask us to restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances
The right to object to certain uses of your information
The right to withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your information
