Privacy

We keep as little as we can, we list everyone else who touches it, and we delete it when you ask.

Who we are

Book Score is run by publishing.co.uk. For UK data protection law we are responsible for the personal data you give us here. Contact: hello@publishing.co.uk.

What we keep

The Amazon link you paste, your book's public Amazon details, the assistants' answers and your report.
The internet address each check came from, so one person can't use up everyone's free checks.
Your email address, if you buy, sign up to Watch or ask us to email you.
Your orders: what you bought, when, and whether the report reached you.

"Your reports" on this site is kept in your own browser, not by us. Clearing your browser's site data clears it.

Why

To make and deliver what you asked for, to stop misuse of the free check, and to keep the records the tax rules require for sales.

Your report link

Each report has its own private link that can't be guessed. Anyone you give it to can open the report.

How long, and deleting it

We keep it until you ask us to delete it, apart from sales records, which the tax rules make us keep. To have your email, orders and reports deleted, email hello@publishing.co.uk from the address you used. You can also ask for a copy of what we hold. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
