Privacy Policy

Who we are

Ian Fleming Publications Ltd (“the Company” or “us”) is committed to the protection of any personal data we obtain from you via phone, email, website or any other means. We invite you to read this policy to understand the types of information we collect from you, how it is used, how you can manage it, and how to contact us.

The focus of this policy is “personal data”, defined in current data privacy law as information which can identify living people. Where we refer to personal data below, we use the term “personal information”. This policy may change from time to time and was last updated in June 2023.

We are Ian Fleming Publications Limited, a company registered in England and Wales at 73-74 Berwick Street, London, W1F 8TE, UK. Our Companies House registration number is 01070342 and Information Commissioner’s Office registration number is Z7277451.

How do you collect my personal information?

We collect it in the following ways:

  • When you access our website, we identify your IP address and certain other data – please see the section on cookies below for more detail
  • When you contact us via our website or on email
  • When you consent to receive marketing communications or any other occasion where consent is needed – we will always ask for your consent before we use your personal information
  • When you are working with us on a project during the course of our business relationship

What personal information do you collect?

Depending on the method of collection, the personal information we collect can be all or some of the following:

  • Your name and title
  • Your email address, contact details, biographical information and payment information (if we are working with you directly)
  • Your IP address and information
  • The internet browser you use to access our website
  • The pages you visit on our website and how long you viewed them for
  • Any other personal information that you give to us by any method

How do you use my personal information?

We use it for the purposes of providing information, answering general enquiries and otherwise in the course of our business. We use relevant personal information where it is in our legitimate interests to do so, using it in a proportionate way that respects your individual privacy rights, where you have consented or we have a particular justification to use your personal information in compliance with the data protection laws. If you deal with us in the course of your work, we may collect and use relevant personal information for the purposes of performing any contract with you, or taking steps in order to do so or otherwise where we have legitimate interests for doing so in a proportionate way that respects your individual privacy rights.

How long do you keep my personal information?

We do not keep it in any identifiable format for any longer than is necessary. Where we have collected personal information in order to perform a contract, we keep that for seven years after the relevant contract has ended, for legal and taxation reasons.

How do you keep this secure?

The Company takes all appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the integrity and security of the personal information it holds.

How do you share my personal information?

If you sign up to our marketing emails, you will only receive marketing from us. Other companies who support our business functions (such as our IT providers and IT support services) may have access to personal data that we store – but only where necessary to do so and only where they are acting as our data processors. They therefore cannot use your personal data for their own purposes and are contractually obliged to comply with data protection laws.

In the event that the Company ever becomes subject to a re-organisation such as a merger, an acquisition of assets or a share sale, we may in accordance with our legitimate interests, need to share some of your personal information with third parties who have a need to know about it, specifically for reasons connected with the re-organisation.

We may share or reveal personal information if we are obliged or permitted to do so by law, or if it is required by law enforcement, fraud prevention, credit reference agencies, tax authorities or regulatory bodies.

How do you export my personal information?

We do not generally transfer any personal information outside the UK or EU and we do not ourselves hold any personal information on servers that are outside the UK or EU. Where we have a business need to share your personal data with third parties outside of the UK or EU, we are careful to only do so in compliance with the law and we ensure that either that country has data protection laws that are equivalent to the GDPR or that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place.

How do I manage my personal information?

As an individual you have the right to manage and amend the personal information we hold about you. You can also withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications from the Company at any time. You can also object to the Company using your personal information even if we rely on our legitimate interests to make use of it. You have several rights in relation to your personal information under data protection law. In relation to most of these, if you exercise them we may ask for information from you to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us find your personal information. We aim to respond to you within 30 days after we have received a valid request, by which we mean a request that is backed up with any identification documents that we have requested.

What are my rights?

To request a copy or summary of the personal information that we hold about you and to receive it from us within 30 days.

To update, correct, erase or restrict the use of your personal information.

To withdraw consent, where we rely on it, to recieving marketing communications, or other communications you have already consented to the Company sending you.
