This is in line with Article 6 of the UK GDPR in that you have given your consent for your data to be processed and stored by Bennett Copy Enhancement for an explicit purpose, which also applies in cases of sharing your email when you subscribe to the newsletter or if you send copy or a query through one of the text boxes on the homepage. This also ensures your right to withdraw consent at any time relating to the above.

This website is also protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which protects this website from spam and abuse, and this is visible under the text boxes along with Google's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Bennett Copy Enhancement's Cookie Policy is subject to be updated at any time should the need arise.

And what is GDPR? This stands for General Data Protection Regulation and is in place to ensure that your data is safe, secure and processed lawfully so that it is safeguarded and you feel protected online.

You can read up on UK GDPR by following the hyperlink, and should you have any questions or concerns about how your data is processed, email bennettcopyenhancement@gmail.com and you will be kept up to speed on how it is being used. Bennett Copy Enhancement assures customers and website visitors that their data is safe.

Bennett Copy Enhancement also endeavours to make sure that your data is accurate in line with the business' records and urges any discrepancies to be made known via email. In that case, they will be immediately corrected, rectified or removed accordingly. This is in line with Articles 16 and 17 of the UK GDPR, which dealt with the rectification and erasure, also known as the 'right to be forgotten', of data.

This includes email addresses and phone numbers where applicable, and when this data is rectified, you will receive immediate notification when changes are made to restore accuracy.

Personal data will be processed in line with Article 5 of the UK GDPR and affirms a commitment to process data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent matter, that data is accurate and up-to-date and that data is protected from unlawful or unauthorised processing. Bennett Copy Enhancement will also work with customers where necessary to make sure their data is correct and safe.

Also in line with Article 5, plus Article 34 of the Data Protection Act 2018, the 'controller' is responsible for ensuring your data is secure and that it is used for the correct stated reasons.

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 is a new piece of legislation introduced in 2025 that is also particularly relevant to website cookies, with Bennett Copy Enhancement also compliant with this.

Should you have any questions or queries relating to this, please email bennettcopyenhancement@gmail.com.

You have the right to request and to know the identity of the 'controller' through Article 13 of the UK GDPR, with this being defined in Article 6 of the Data Protection Act 2018 as ' the person on whom the obligation to process the data is imposed by the enactment (or, if different, one of the enactments).'

Bennett Copy Enhancement has a strict policy of confidentiality in operation, active at all times and throughout all departments.

That means that when you email a question, query or send copy across for enhancing via one of the text boxes on the website, a direct message on social media or a text or call by mobile phone, sensitive personal details like your email address and phone number will not be shared or passed on, and any content within those communications will never be shared into the public domain without your consent.

You can be rest assured that, as a valued Bennett Copy Enhancement customer or someone who is eager to get to know more about the business, you are working in an environment where the safety, security and protection of your private information is at the absolute forefront.

What's more, if you sign up to a Bennett Copy Enhancement payment plan or make a donation, you will never, ever be asked for details of your bank account or password and, should you opt to cancel, your details will be safely deleted, retaining that commitment to safety and security.

Should you receive communications from any address purporting to be this business and asking you for sensitive information that Bennett Copy Enhancement would never request, do not click on any links attached and report this through either bennettcopyenhancement@gmail.com or through the chat widget on the website.

This is to help avoid and prevent unfair reputational damage to Bennett Copy Enhancement through phishing, as well as to make sure customers' interests and data are protection from those who may be seeking to access it unlawfully. Phishing is a scam where you may be tricked into revealing sensitive information or having malware including viruses, malware and adware downloaded onto your system.

Communications from Bennett Copy Enhancement come from these two email addresses and no other – bennettcopyenhancement@gmail.com – so if you receive an email purporting to be from Bennett Copy Enhancement but it is not from this email address, then this business did not send it nor is it responsible for the content in the email.

You will also never be asked by Bennett Copy Enhancement for passwords relating to things like your bank account or for any other subscriptions on other websites.

Bennett Copy Enhancement will also never request information on your race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, political opinions, health, sexual orientation, genetic or biometric data, marital status or any other personal and sensitive topics that are not relevant to the business.

This is in compliance with Article 9 of the UK GDPR, which states that the processing of this data revealing the above is strictly prohibited.

This chat widget on the website is visible at all times and you can click on it to send any questions you have, and the same applies here – anything you send through this will remain private.

Your personal information will never be kept for any longer than necessary and will remain strictly confidential and safe with Bennett Copy Enhancement. That includes email addresses and phone numbers.

Regarding public comments on social media, Bennett Copy Enhancement cannot legislate for remarks posted in reply to online posts on the business' social media pages – although the business reserves the right to delete or restrict comments where appropriate – but any views or opinions that are expressed in public online remarks are those of the individual or account and not of the business.

When you send your copy in for enhancement, the content of the piece you send will not be released into the public domain, nor will it be shared by Bennett Copy Enhancement with a third party.

This is the standard practice, but it is important to note that exceptions to this rule relating to third party use or sharing may apply in cases of suspected criminal wrongdoing or potential other exceptional circumstances where third party involvement may be deemed required. This ensures compliance with Bennett Copy Enhancement's Code of Ethics and will be rare occurrences.

Bennett Copy Enhancement is fully understanding of the trust you, the customer, place when you share the above sensitive information or data, but you can be safe in the knowledge that it will be kept secure.

When you send a piece across, you should expect the gold standard both in how it turns out and how it is treated, and Bennett Copy Enhancement will endeavour to deliver just that.

When your piece is finished and returned to you, it will be stored safely and securely for future reference should you require it, and should you wish for it to be removed from the Bennett Copy Enhancement systems, this will be done straight away and you will be promptly notified in accordance with Article 17 of the UK GDPR.
