Personal Data Retention Periods

We will only keep your personal data for the duration of the period you are a customer of Anglox Publications. We shall further retain your data only for as long as required in accordance with applicable laws. If you do not login to our website for a period of 4 years then your personal data will be deleted.

Personal Data And Third Parties

We do not sell, rent or share your personal data to third parties for marketing, advertising or any other purposes.

We may pass your personal data to third parties for the provision of services on our behalf (for example processing of payments). However, we will only ever share information about you that is necessary to provide the service and we have specific contracts in place, which ensure your personal data is secure and will not be used for any marketing purposes.

We may share your information if we are acquired by a third party and therefore your data will be deemed an asset of the business. In these circumstances, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer of our business, subject to both parties entering into appropriate confidentiality undertakings. Similarly, we may share your personal data if we are under a duty to disclose data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Anglox Publications, our customers, or others associated with our business.
