Contact: hello@publishing.co.uk
(We are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer and have not done so.)
What we collect, why, and on what legal basis
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your name and email address | To deliver the files, send your receipt and order confirmation, and send free corrections to the edition you bought | Contract — Article 6(1)(b). We cannot deliver what you bought without it |
| Your country, and VAT status if you give one | To charge the right tax | Legal obligation — Article 6(1)(c) |
| Order records — what you bought, when, for how much | Accounting and tax records, and handling any refund or complaint | Legal obligation for the tax records; legitimate interests for handling disputes — Article 6(1)(f) |
| Correspondence you send us | To answer you | Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f), in running a business that replies to its customers |
| Marketing emails, only if you ask for them | To send you what you signed up for | Consent — Article 6(1)(a). You can withdraw it at any time |
We do not collect or store your card details. Payment is handled by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as merchant of record.
We do not use your purchase to add you to a marketing list. If you want our emails you have to ask for them separately.
Who else sees it
- Lemon Squeezy — payments, invoicing and file delivery
- Our email provider — to send your receipt and the download link
- Our accountant and HMRC — for tax records
- Anyone we are legally required to disclose to
Each is bound by a contract covering their handling of your data. Some may process data outside the UK; where they do, the transfer is covered by the safeguards UK data protection law requires.
How long we keep it
- Order and payment records: six years after the end of the tax year they fall in. This is a tax requirement, not a choice.
- Your email address for edition updates: 12 months from purchase, then deleted unless you have separately asked for our marketing emails.
- Correspondence: two years from the last message.
- Marketing consent: until you withdraw it, and we delete you on request.
Your rights
You have the right to ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable form. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting what we did before.
Email hello@publishing.co.uk. We reply within one month.
Note that we cannot erase the order records we are legally required to keep for tax purposes until that period ends — but we will restrict them to that purpose alone on request.
Complaining
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please tell us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint · 0303 123 1113.
Automated decisions
We do not make any automated decisions about you, and we do not profile you.
