How long do we keep your data?
We may keep your information for a varying amount of time. This is to perform our contract with you, fulfil your delivery, assist with any queries, to send any relevant information about products and services and to maintain our financial records in accordance with current UK legislation. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
Does Good News Bookshop Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. It is necessary to share some elements of your personal data with our delivery and payment provider partners to fulfil our contract with you. At no time do these partners have access to more personal data than they need to perform their function. We will always have a Data Processing Agreement in place with any such partner prior to the sharing of any relevant information. Such partners must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by current UK legislation.
When does Good News Bookshop Share the Information it Receives?
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements or to protect the rights, property or safety of Good News Bookshop, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.
With Your Consent
Other than as set out above, we will always be clear and transparent when we present opportunities to you to connect with any third parties. Whenever we do this there will always be a clear option for you to act.
Data Security
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols, which encrypts information you input. If your email service does not support TLS, you should be aware that any emails we send or receive may not be protected in transit.
We will also monitor any emails sent to us, including file attachments, for viruses or malicious software. Please be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send is within the bounds of the law.
During payment processing we partner with payment providers who are fully PCI compliant.
Should you have occasion to raise a dispute with your payment provider, we may share details of the relevant transaction in order to respond to the issue you have raised.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you. It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.
Service messages
Services messages are messages we need to send to let you know about your order, or the service we provide for you.
These are different to marketing emails we send as they contain information we need to tell you to ensure we can provide you with our services effectively. Examples of these include:
- Order confirmation
- Dispatch confirmation
- Order updates
- Updates to our published policies
- Updates to our terms and conditions
International transfers
Some of our external third-party partners may be based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by current UK legislation. Automated technologies
Good News Bookshop receives and stores certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Good News Bookshop. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised experience at Good News Bookshop if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Analytics
We might use Analytics tools, but this information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
