Privacy Policy

This policy is intended to show how I comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was effective as of 25th May 2018.
​
I am a registered sole trader operating as Pete Gentry Editorial and offer proofreading and editing services to a variety of client types.

If I ask you for information about yourself (which will always be minimal), it will only be used in the ways outlined below.

Data I collect from you

The extent of data I will collect from you will not go beyond your name, email address, postal address, telephone number or details about your project (see here).

How I collect your data

The only ways I will collect information about you will be via email or telephone.

How and why I use your data

I will gather and use the data above for:
  • my own accounting, invoicing and general adherence with HMRC requirements
  • contacting you if you make an enquiry or during an editing/proofreading project
  • providing information that you may have asked for, such as my availability, for example.
​
​I will only use your data for any other purpose if you provide me with written permission first. This could be, for example, if I ask you for a testimonial.

Length of time I keep your data for

Although I will not delete your data from my records after completing a job for you, as I may work with you again in the future, I will certainly do so on your request as long as I am adhering to HMRC's requirement of keeping records for at least five years.

Storage of your data

I will only store the data outlined above on the password-protected computer that I use for my work in:
  • email accounts
  • Paypal
  • Microsoft Word and Excel (for invoicing and accounting reasons, respectively)
  • Dropbox

As with my computer, all of these are protected by passwords.

Data sharing

I will not share your information with anybody, unless you ask me to do so or HMRC ask for it for tax audit purposes.

If you have any questions about how I use your data, please do not hesitate to contact me.
