What we collect when you enquire, how we handle your manuscript, and the control you keep over both.
Effective 1 August 2026
Global Publishers House (“GPH”, “we”, “us”) is an author services studio providing editing, book design, publishing preparation, and marketing support to independent authors.
This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website and to enquiries made through it.
When you complete an enquiry or consultation form we collect the information you enter, which may include:
Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may record technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are useful.
We do not use this information to identify you personally, and we do not sell it.
We use the information you provide to:
Your manuscript remains yours. Sending it to us does not transfer, license, or assign any copyright or publishing right to us.
We use manuscripts and excerpts only to assess scope, prepare a sample or quote, and carry out work you have engaged us to do. We do not publish, share, sell, or use your manuscript for any promotional purpose without your explicit written permission.
Manuscripts sent with an enquiry that does not proceed are deleted from our working systems on request, and in any case within 12 months.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary, with:
Information is stored on access-controlled systems provided by reputable hosting and cloud providers, and may be processed outside your country of residence. Access is limited to people who need it for your project.
No transmission over the internet is completely secure. Please do not send unpublished material you consider highly sensitive through a web form; ask us for a secure transfer method instead.
Enquiry records are kept for up to 24 months so we can pick up a conversation where it left off. Project files and correspondence for completed work are kept for up to 7 years where required for accounting and professional records. Manuscript files are deleted earlier on request.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent for marketing at any time.
To make a request, contact us using the details in section 11. We will respond within 30 days.
This site uses only the cookies and storage needed to serve pages correctly, plus any analytics or advertising measurement we describe here when enabled. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, we will ask for it before they are set.
Questions about this policy, or requests about your information, can be sent to us through the enquiry form on this site or to the studio contact address published on our contact section.
If we change this policy we will update the effective date below. Material changes affecting how we use your information will be highlighted on this page.
