Privacy Policy

Bath Publishing Privacy Policy

Bath Publishing believes in transparency when it comes to the use of customer data, your privacy and protecting your data. We only collect and retain what’s necessary to provide our services and to communicate with our customers. We only use trusted third parties to process the data we have under our control and we endeavour to keep your data safe through the use of secure technology. 

We do not share data with third parties other than with the data processors listed below and for the purposes of providing our services. If we wanted to share data for commercial reasons, we would obtain your consent before doing so.

Our privacy policy reflects that belief which matches the privacy by design culture of the GDPR.

  • bathpublishing.com
  • employmentcasesupdate.co.uk

What information do we collect and why?

If you order a Bath Publishing product or service

If you order something via this website, by phone or by post your data will be processed as follows: 

  • if you order from bathpublishing.com, Shopify, our website and ecommerce provider,
  • if you book an event on bathpublishing.com, Evey, our event management provider
  • if you pay online, by Stripe, our payment services provider

We also store personal data where provided in the databases of the websites listed below to manage access and subscriptions

  • employmentcasesupdate.co.uk
  • employmentclaimstoolkit.co.uk
  • thecompetentlawyer.co.uk

We only collect data that we need to fulfil the order, provide services and to manage any ongoing responsibilities.

We process and store this data in order to carry out our contractual requirements to fulfil the order or enquiry and, if the service requires it, to supply you with updates / news of updates.

We may also contact you occasionally with details of closely related products and services that we think you will find useful as a legitimate interest but you can always ask that we do not send unrelated marketing emails by responding to the instructions on the email or emailing info@bathpublishing.co.uk at any time. Where we do sent marketing communications, we will match your purchasing data against the new product to indicate relevance but no other automated profiling is carried out, nor do we use third party data in combination with our own.

Your data is processed and stored while there is a continuing contractual relationship. Once that relationship ends, data will be stored for the duration of any relevant legal or contractual obligations.

Any payment details processed online are then held by our third party services provider Stripe using a secure connection. If we take an order by phone any details supplied will be destroyed as soon as the order is processed and the payment approved.

If you sign up to one of our newsletters

We only collect your name and email address so we can provide you with the email newsletter and occasional offers based on your consent. You always have the right to unsubscribe. Details of how to do are set out in any emails sent.

Your data is stored and processed using MailChimp - see their site for further details and their privacy policy

If you create an account on one of our websites

Where you can create user accounts on a website to subscribe or trial a product we will store any details provided in the relevant database. These databases are held in a secure website hosting facility at FastHosts https://www.fasthosts.co.uk/companyinfo/terms-of-service and managed by a trusted third party developer.

  The following services use this method of processing:
  • employmentcasesudpate.co.uk
