Privacy policy
What we collect, why, and what you can require us to do about it.
Last updated 12 August 2026
1. Who is responsible
Sightline Press is the data controller for personal data collected through this site. For any data protection matter, write to privacy@example.com.
2. What we collect and why
| Data | When | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address | Free tools, waitlist, newsletter | To send the files and occasional updates | Consent |
| Role, sector, reporting framework | Free tools form | To decide which editions to publish and what to send you | Consent |
| Name, email, message | Contact form | To answer you | Legitimate interest |
| Billing name, address, tax status | Checkout | To take payment and issue a compliant receipt | Contract and legal obligation |
| Order record | Purchase | To deliver files, honour refunds and meet accounting obligations | Contract and legal obligation |
We do not collect special category data, and we do not ask for anything we do not use.
3. What we do not do
We do not sell personal data. We do not share it with advertising networks. We do not build advertising profiles, and there is no advertising on this site.
4. Processors
We use a small number of providers who process data on our behalf: a payment provider acting as merchant of record, an email delivery provider, a file hosting provider and a website host. Each is bound by contract to process data only on our instructions. Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place.
5. How long we keep it
Marketing contacts: until you unsubscribe, and no more than three years after your last interaction. Contact enquiries: two years. Order and tax records: seven years, because we are required to keep them.
6. Your rights
You have the right to access your data, correct it, erase it, restrict or object to processing, and receive it in a portable format. You may withdraw consent at any time — every email has a one-click unsubscribe. To exercise any right, write to privacy@example.com. We respond within one month.
If you are dissatisfied you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your local supervisory authority.
7. Security
Data is transmitted over TLS. Card details never reach our systems — they are handled entirely by the payment provider. Access to personal data is limited to those who need it.
8. Children
This site is intended for professional adults and is not directed at children.
