1. Collection of data and how information we hold about you can be
used
As you explore our website, you will come across
places in which we ask you to provide us with information about yourself. We
explain each of these below. We will not use your name or email address
for any purpose other than as stated.
1.1 On the sales part of this site, we will require
personal information from you such as your name, billing address, email
address, contact telephone number, payment card information for the purpose of
processing and fulfilling your sales order. We will collect, hold and
process that information including passing such elements of this information on
to third parties, who may be within the New Holland Publishers or an agent
acting on our behalf, as is necessary for that purpose. We will require
that any such third party must process your personal information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy and in accordance with the Data Protection Act
1998. We will also retain information relating to your sales history so
that you can check your own order history in the My Account
section and for the purpose of marketing research. By ordering
Goods from us, you are agreeing that New Holland Publishers and TBS may use the
information you provide to us and information about your account for marketing
purposes. This will include sending you marketing by email if you have
indicated in the My Account section that you wish to receive email marketing
from us. This information will not be shared with other companies.
1.2 We may ask for your email address and your name
(along with a competition answer), so that we can contact you in the event that
you win. If you decide to participate, we will not use your name or email
address for any purpose other than as stated.
1.3 In some places in this site, we ask for your
feedback, opinion or suggestions, and provide you with a link for emailing us
your response. But again we will only use the email address we receive from you
for the purpose of responding to your questions or suggestions.
1.4 On occasion, we seek to gather a broader profile of
some of the visitors to sections of this site (e.g. through surveys or
competitions). The information that we request, may be provided to our
editorial, marketing or publicity departments. It may also be shared with our
content providers, such as authors, advertisers or other publishers, to provide
them with demographic information about the visitors to our site.
1.5 An additional area in which we ask for your name is
on bulletin boards or forums – places on the site where you can participate in
a discussion of a particular subject by posting written comments which are then
entirely public. You must register your details in order to do
so. Registration information will not be disclosed and is for security
purposes. You should be aware that if you do disclose personal information on
the bulletin boards or forums, that information can be collected and used by
others and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties. By
participating in these forums, you should remember that you are legally liable
for the material you post, including libel and copyright infringement.
2. Storage, correction and disclosure of personal data
2.1 We will retain the data we hold
concerning you for as long as it is necessary to do so. We will retain and
disclose personal data to authorised authorities without your consent where we
are required to do so under the law. Should you wish New Holland Publishers to
cease using your data as set out in this policy, please remove your details
from the My
Account section. Please be aware that by doing
this you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. Should you
discover any inaccuracies in your personal information, please update your
details in the My Account
section. We will then correct our records.
3. Removing Your email address
3.1 All of our email newsletters include instructions on
how to unsubscribe. Please follow these instructions to remove yourself from
our individual lists. If you have previously provided us with your email
address or any other information and later decide that you do not want us to
have it, please update your details in the My Account
section.
4. Cookies
4.1 Cookies are electronic tags that most websites place on
your computer in the process of sending your computer a file, such as a web
page. We use them as well. A cookie can tell us when a computer that
has previously visited our site returns, and what pages it requests on each of
its visits. Cookies help us keep track of how our visitors (or more
accurately, their computers) use our site, including such things as the
type of browser they use, the frequency of their visits and the pages that are
most popular. They can help smooth your travel through our site by keeping
track of information that has already been provided by your computer so that
you do not need to re-enter it. In no event does the cookie we place on your
computer tell us anything about your visits to other websites (except those you
enter through a link on our site), or your use of the internet in any other
way. If you would still prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be
set to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. However,
some portions of this site may not function properly if the cookies are
disabled.
5. Links to other sites
5.1 Our site contains links to other sites that are not under
our control, even though they may use the New Holland Publishers name or logo
on their site through an agreement with us. Such other sites do not necessarily
follow our privacy policies, and may place their own cookies on your computer.
This practice is standard on the Web. We do not control cookies placed on
your computer by third parties whose advertising or links appear on our site.
6. Security of private information
6.1 We would like to be able to tell you that the personal
information you provide us with is absolutely safe. Unfortunately, several
well-publicised instances of computer security breaches make it impossible for
anyone to be so confident. However we take reasonable steps to protect the
information you provide us from theft, alteration or unauthorized inspection.
7. Parents and guardians
7.1 We encourage you to get involved with your children’s
online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating.
We also ask you to check back here regularly to see what our latest policies
are, particularly those relating to children. You should be aware that if your
children voluntarily disclose their names, email addresses or other information
on bulletin boards or chat areas of other websites,
such disclosures may result in unsolicited messages from other parties. We
suggest that you discourage your child from providing such information on this
site or elsewhere unless you are confident that the information will not be
misused.
