Our lawful bases for processing

We rely on the following lawful bases under UK data-protection law:

Consent

We rely on your consent when you choose to receive newsletter emails or accept non-essential cookies.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Legitimate interests

We may process limited information where necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the website, responding to enquiries and understanding its general use.

We consider these interests against your rights and will not rely on them where your rights override our interests.

Legal obligation

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with a legal requirement.

Email updates and marketing

We will only send book news and marketing emails to people who have actively requested them.

Every marketing email will include a straightforward way to unsubscribe. You can also withdraw your consent by contacting mathewedwards@mathewedwards.plus.com.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of emails sent before your withdrawal was received.

We may retain limited information on a suppression list after you unsubscribe to ensure that we do not send you further marketing emails accidentally.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website.

This website may use:

Essential cookies required for security and basic website operation.
Functional cookies that remember choices and preferences.
Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the website.
Cookies or similar technologies provided by Wix or other authorised service providers.

Essential cookies may be placed without consent where they are necessary to provide the website.

Optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies should only be used after you have given consent through the website’s cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the available cookie settings or your browser.

Sharing your information

We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate the website and provide requested communications.

These providers may include:

Wix, which hosts and supports the website and its forms.
Email and newsletter service providers.
Analytics, technical-support and security providers.
Professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
Courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or other authorities where required by law.

These organisations may only use information for the services they provide to us and must handle it appropriately.

We do not sell your personal information.

External websites

The website contains links to external websites, including Waterstones and The Myrtle Press.

When you follow an external link, that organisation may collect and use information under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of external websites.

International data transfers

Some service providers, including Wix and its supporting technology providers, may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we expect the relevant provider to use an appropriate legal transfer mechanism and safeguards recognised under UK data-protection law.

How long we retain information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Generally:

Newsletter information is retained while you remain subscribed.
Enquiry information is retained for as long as necessary to respond and deal with any follow-up.
Cookie and analytics information is retained according to the relevant cookie settings and service-provider retention periods.
Limited suppression information may be retained after an unsubscribe request to prevent further marketing.

Information may be retained for longer where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

How we protect information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
