Privacy Policy

This privacy policy outlines the information I collect from clients and how I use it, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations.

1. Collection

I collect the following information from prospective clients:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Background information on the project and an extract of the material to be edited

I collect the following information from clients:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Postal address
  • Background information on the project
  • The file(s) to be edited

I use Google Analytics to collect some basic data on visitors to this website. Click here to find out more about how Google Analytics works, and to disable or delete its cookies.

2. Use

I use your data to:

  • Provide guidance and quotations for services
  • Carry out services
  • Meet my obligations to HMRC (the UK tax authority)

I do not use data to send marketing communications, but I may get in touch with past clients to see how their writing projects are going. If a client provides a testimonial, I use that in marketing materials. Unless a client requests otherwise, I may include their project in my portfolio of work.

3. Storage

I store emails in my password-protected email account with GSuite. I store files in my password-protected Livedrive account and on my private computer.

4. Retention

Many of my clients work with me over the long term. Therefore, unless you request otherwise, I will keep your data for reference in the event that you wish to work with me in the future.

5. Privacy

The only parties with which I may potentially share data are:

  • Other employees of Landmark Editorial Ltd
  • HMRC, in the event that my accounts are audited

I will not share your data with any other party without your written permission.

6. Questions and updates

You may review the information I keep about you at any time to ensure that it is relevant, correct and up to date.

You may request that I amend your information – or delete it entirely. Please note that HMRC requires me to keep financial records for six years from the end of the last company financial year to which they relate, but I will delete any other data as required.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.
