Privacy Policy and GDRP
Book alerts mailing list:
I collect email addresses, and any name that the user attaches to them, for the purpose of emailing them to announce a new book’s availability. All such addresses have been obtained explicitly for that purpose, and as such consent for that use is explicit and the new legislation does not require me to break the basic purpose of collection by emailing the list to request they re-confirm.
Every email I send out has a clearly stated, simple method to unsubscribe (basically, a reply saying unsubscribe) and any such instruction is implemented by me in a timely manner.
Any new subscription will be treated in exactly the same way – an explicit request to be emailed a new book alert will result in an addition to the mailing list for that purpose.
This information (name (or user name) and email address) will not be sold or shared with any third party under any circumstances other than a legally enforceable requirement by the government to do so, or an explicit consent by you to do so.
This information (name (or user name) and email address) will be retained until you unsubscribe.
If you feel that the use of your data is illegal, please contact Information Commissioners Office (ICO) in the UK.
IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THE ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THE MAILING LIST.
Newsletter mailing lists:
I collect email addresses, and any name that the user attaches to them, for the purpose of emailing them with a newsletter. All such addresses have been obtained explicitly for that purpose, and as such consent for that use is explicit. I shall be using a mailing company such as MailChimp or MailerLite to handle the emailing.
Every newsletter sent out will have a clearly stated, simple method to unsubscribe and any such instruction will be implemented in a timely manner.
This information (name (or user name) and email address) will not be sold or shared with any third party under any circumstances other than a legally enforceable requirement by the government to do so, or an explicit consent by you to do so.
This information (name (or user name) and email address) will be retained until you unsubscribe.
If you feel that the use of your data is illegal, please contact Information Commissioners Office (ICO) in the UK.
IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THE ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THE NEWSLETTER LIST.
