Who we are
Peryton Press is an independent Scottish press operated by Skye MacKinnon. For the purposes of UK GDPR, we are the data controller. You can reach us at admin@perytonpress.com.
What we collect, and why
We only collect what we need to do the thing you've asked us to do. In practice that means:
- Newsletter sign-ups. Your email address (and name, if you give it) — held by Flodesk on our behalf so we can send you the newsletter you've asked for.
- Contact form submissions. Name, email, topic and message — used to reply to your enquiry. Held in our email inbox; deleted once the conversation is over and there's no legitimate reason to keep it.
- Consultation bookings. Name, email, time-zone and the questions you bring — held by Trafft (our booking software) and Stripe (payment) on our behalf. Used to run the consultation, send confirmations, and issue receipts.
- Site analytics. Aggregate, anonymous traffic data — pages visited, country, device. We don't track individuals across sites and we don't sell anything.
Cookies
This site uses one or two strictly-necessary cookies (form-state, session) and an aggregate analytics cookie. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If you've disabled cookies in your browser, the site still works.
Who else sees your data
The processors we share specific data with, and why:
- Flodesk — newsletter delivery
- Trafft — consultation booking and scheduling
- Stripe — payment processing for consultations
- Chemicloud — web hosting (the boring server bit)
We don't sell your data, share it with advertisers, or pass it on to third parties for their own marketing.
How long we keep it
Newsletter subscribers stay on the list until you unsubscribe (one click in any email). Contact-form messages are kept for as long as the conversation needs, then deleted. Consultation records — including invoices — are kept for the seven years HMRC requires us to, then deleted.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Ask what we hold about you
- Ask us to correct it if it's wrong
- Ask us to delete it (subject to the seven-year HMRC rule on financial records)
- Ask us to send you a copy in a portable format
- Object to us processing it
- Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you think we've handled your data badly
To exercise any of those, email admin@perytonpress.com. We respond within 30 days, usually faster.
Children
Some of our books are for small humans, but our newsletters and consultations are aimed at adults. We don't knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material, we'll bump the "last updated" date and — if you're on the newsletter list — flag it in the next email. The current version always lives at this URL.
