Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who We Are

ADS Publishing ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at adspublishing.co.uk. We are a publisher connecting established, independent, and aspiring authors with publishing services and opportunities.

2. Our Approach to Privacy

We take a minimal approach to data. We do not run tracking software, use advertising tools, or collect data from visitors simply browsing our website. We only ever receive personal information when you choose to send it to us directly - for example, by submitting a manuscript or making an enquiry.

3. What Information We May Receive

When you contact us or submit work for consideration, we may receive:

• Your name

• Your email address or other contact details you choose to provide

• Any content you include in your message or submission (e.g. a manuscript or synopsis)

We do not use forms that automatically collect technical data (such as IP addresses or browser fingerprints), and we do not use cookies or analytics tools.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you send us solely to:

• Respond to your enquiry or submission

• Assess whether your work is suitable for publication

• Fulfil any services you have expressly requested

We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless you have actively enquired about our services or raised a query that makes such communication relevant.

5. Manuscript Submissions

If you submit a manuscript and it is not accepted for publication, we will not retain a copy of your submission. It will be deleted or destroyed once we have communicated our decision to you. We do not store rejected manuscripts in any database or archive.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not use any third-party services that would receive your data (such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, or CRM tools).

We may only disclose your information if required to do so by law or a competent authority.

7. Data Security

Although we collect minimal data, we take reasonable steps to protect any information you send us - including using secure email and not storing submissions beyond their necessary purpose.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
