Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how Eight Two Publishing collects and uses information when you visit our website or sign up for our newsletters. We are the data controller for the personal data described below, and we handle it in line with UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
Information we collect
When you subscribe to a newsletter, we collect the email address — and, where requested, the first name — that you provide. We do not collect any other personal information unless you voluntarily give it to us, for example by emailing us.
When you browse the website, our analytics provider also collects limited technical information automatically, as described below.
Analytics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the website so we can improve it. When enabled, Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as the pages you view, your approximate location (derived from your IP address, which Google truncates), and your device and browser type. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally. It is processed by Google as our analytics provider.
Analytics cookies are not essential to the website. We do not set them unless you accept them using the cookie banner shown on your first visit. If you accept, you can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer; if you reject, no analytics cookies are set. You can also refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. None of this affects your ability to use the site.
How we use your information
Your email address is used solely to send you the newsletter you signed up for. Analytics data is used only to measure and improve the website. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. Our lawful basis for processing this data is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Service providers
We use trusted third parties to operate the website. Newsletter sign-ups are managed through Kit (ConvertKit), and website analytics are provided by Google. These providers process data on our behalf and may store it outside the UK; where they do, that transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
External links
Our book pages link to Amazon and other external sites. Once you leave our website, this privacy policy no longer applies, and the privacy policy of the site you visit will govern how your data is handled.
Unsubscribing
Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time.
