Information

Privacy notice

To complete before launch. This is a factual draft describing how the website works today. The business name, address, contact email and retention periods are placeholders, and the whole notice should be reviewed (ideally by someone familiar with UK GDPR) before the site goes live.

Who we are

Dimblehouse is an independent, family-run publishing house. For this website, the data controller is [legal name of the business], [registered or postal address]. You can contact us about your data at [business email address], or with the contact form.

What we collect, and why

We only collect what you choose to send us.

  • Contact and author enquiry forms. Your name, email address and whatever you write in the form. We use this only to read and reply to your enquiry. You give your consent by ticking the box on the form, and we also have a legitimate interest in replying to people who contact us.
  • Orders. Direct sales are not yet open. When they are, this section will explain what our payment provider collects and why.

We do not add you to any mailing list, we do not sell or share your details for marketing, and we do not ask for a manuscript or any document through this website.

Who handles your data for us

  • Cloudflare hosts the website, and its Turnstile service checks that form submissions come from people rather than automated programs.
  • Resend delivers form messages to our inbox by email.
  • [Email provider for our inbox] stores the messages we receive.

How long we keep it

We keep an enquiry for as long as we need it to deal with your message, and then for [retention period, for example 12 months], after which it is deleted. If we go on to work together, we will tell you how we keep records for that work.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting us. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
