Book orders

Book orders are processed on our behalf by Turpin Distribution Services Ltd in the UK. They hold and make available to us essential information relating to your purchases such as your name, address, account details (if applicable), email address.We do not share information about our customers other than with Turpin Distribution Services.Most of our individual customers buy through third party suppliers (bookshops, online retailers). In such cases neither we nor Turpin have any information as to who the end customer is and accordingly cannot respond to any customer queries and have no knowledge of what data these third party suppliers may have about you.

Our promotions

We promote our books to individuals believed to have interests/responsibilities in our field of publishing, mainly in their institutional role (e.g. librarians, EU officials, EU affairs specialists in academia or think tanks, careers advisers in universities). For this purpose we collect basic contact information, mainly from institutional websites, which we hold in either paper or electronic format.

Newsletter subscribers

If you register to receive our email newsletter you will receive promotional information from time to time about our publications. We only need a valid email address to register you. No other data is collected and you can unregister at any time. Because we have only an email address none of our promotional information is specifically targeted: it is sent to all newsletter subscribers. We do not engage in any form of automated decision making or profiling of personal data.We use the email newsletter platform MailChimp. MailChimp complies with the U.S.–E.U. and U.S.–Swiss Safe Harbor Framework, which is overseen by the U.S. Department of Commerce and covers the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland. Mailchimp certify that they follow the principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. This scheme ensures that data is protected to the same level as it would be in the UK.Email marketing campaigns may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Subscriber activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates and frequency of activity.

Print catalogues

Print catalogues are sent from time to time to existing or prospective customers based on address information we have from previous book orders or our own research.We may from time to time also contact prospective customers by publicly available email addresses to ask if they wished to be added to our mailing lists or receive printed catalogues. All such contacts are individually researched.
