1. Who we are
This website is operated by Markpath Consulting Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17523046), with its registered office at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”).
We are the controller of the personal data described in this notice. You can contact us at enquiries@markpath.consulting.
2. What we collect and why
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your name, your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. We use this to answer your enquiry and, where relevant, to prepare a proposal. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
When you buy an ebook
Our ebooks are sold through Payhip (payhip.com). Payhip and its payment providers process your payment. We never see or store your card details. We receive your name, email address, country and order details so that we can deliver the ebook, provide support and keep the records the law requires. Our lawful bases are performance of a contract and compliance with legal obligations for tax and accounting. Payhip’s own privacy policy applies to the checkout.
When you visit this website
Our hosting provider records technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request in server logs. This is needed to deliver the site and keep it secure. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure website.
We do not use analytics or advertising trackers on this website.
3. Cookies
We only use cookies that are needed for the site to work as you expect:
- cookie_notice_accepted: remembers that you have dismissed the cookie message. It expires after one month.
We do not set analytics or advertising cookies. If that changes, we will ask for your consent first.
4. Who we share data with
- Payhip Limited (London, United Kingdom), which runs the checkout and delivers the ebook files.
- Sitekick, which hosts this website.
- IONOS, which provides our email service.
- Professional advisers such as accountants, and public authorities where the law requires it.
We do not sell personal data.
5. Transfers outside the UK
Payhip and IONOS process data in the UK or the European Union. UK law recognises the EU as providing adequate protection for personal data.
If any other provider processes personal data outside the UK or the European Union, we use an approved safeguard, such as the UK–US Data Bridge or the International Data Transfer Agreement.
6. How long we keep data
- Enquiries: up to two years after our last contact.
- Purchase records: six years after the end of the financial year they relate to, as required for tax purposes.
- Server logs: for a limited period set by our hosting provider for security purposes.
7. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us for access to your data, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict or object to our use of it, and to receive it in a portable format. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To use any of these rights, email enquiries@markpath.consulting. We will reply within one month.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113. If you are in the EU, you can also contact your local data protection authority.
