The Rutland Bookshop Privacy Policy (GDPR compliant)

Written 06/2018

1) Introduction:

We appreciate the trust you place in us when sharing your personal data. The security of that data is very important to us.  We are a traditional bookshop that is branching out into the online world.  The integrity of our bookshop is of high value to us: we run it with the same values that we did in 1979 as we do today.

We will never share your data with a third party.

2) Who are we?

We are The Rutland Bookshop.  We buy and sell second hand and antiquarian books.

Our address is:

13, High Street West,

Uppingham,

Rutland,

LE15 9QB

3) Companies and websites within scope:

We use ’Stripe’ as our method of online payment and we are confident in the security package Stripe gives us.

4) Collection of Personal Data:

  1. a) We need physical addresses in order to be able to post your product to you. This data will not be shared with a third party and you will have an option to have it deleted.
  2. b) We will keep any electronic information (e.g. email addresses / phone numbers) for a period of 12 months. This will be kept securely. Should we believe that any form of security breach has occurred we will let anyone who has data held by us know immediately.
  3. c) You will have an opt in option regarding receiving newsletters / other information pertaining specifically to The Rutland Bookshop.

5) Why do we collect the personal data?

  1. a) We want to create an online book shopping experience; in order to achieve this we need an online payment method that is secure and fast.
  2. b) In order to post your books we do need the recipient’s address.
  3. c) Online payments: We use Stripe, a company based in the States and Ireland. They are GDPR compliant and Stripe undergoes a PCI Level 1 Service Provider evaluation each year, which is the highest level of security certification in the payments industry. They use a PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) who, instead of only testing that they have their own controls in place, actually test the controls to make sure that they meet the PCI standard.

  1. d) We may think you will be interested in receiving information about new stock in the shop and we will let you know via email or telephone.

6) Storage of Personal Data:

Data will be stored electronically (not using cloud) and in hard copy form (when necessary, e.g. taking requests in the shop or at a show).  Hard copy data will be in a lockable cupboard / filing cabinet.

7) Security Measures:

  1. a) Online payments: please see information about Stripe.
  2. b) We do not have any control over what happens between your device and the boundary of our information infrastructure. You should be aware of the many information security risks that exist and take appropriate steps to safeguard your own information. We accept no liability in respect of breaches that occur beyond our sphere of control.
  3. c) We use Cookies and we endeavour to keep our website secure at all times.
