Press Privacy Policy
Introduction
The aim of our privacy policy is to explain clearly:
· Who is the contact person for privacy issues.
· What information is held about you, how it is collected
and what purposes it is used for.
· How it is kept secure and safe.
· How you can ask for it to be deleted.
· Current good practice is to give this all in detail,
so that you can confidently use the web in general
and especially sites like this with full privacy policies.
All information is collected lawfully and in accordance
with the UK Data Protection Act 1998. At the same
time, an attempt has been made to make this short
and readable: some privacy policies go on in small
print forever.
Contact person
The current contact person for anything about privacy
is me:
Alexander Wedderburn, Director, Fledgling Press Limited.
The full details of how to contact me are given on
the contact page of this site, and repeated here for
completeness.
Email address: zander@fledglingpress.co.uk.
Mail address: 7 Lennox Street, Edinburgh, EH4 1QB,
Scotland, United Kingdom.
Telephone: (INT + 44) (0) 131 332 6867
Fax: (INT + 44) (0) 131 332 6867
The telephone is normally answered during UK business
hours: 0900 to 1800 GMT. At other times, and on holidays,
an answering machine will take a message. Calls are
priced as normal telephone calls.
Email is normally checked three times a day (at coffee
breaks).
What information is held about you, how it is collected
and what purposes it is used for?
Main Fledgling Press site
If you register for the monthly newsletter, you are
asked for your email address, so that we can send
it to you. You can opt out of this at any time by
emailing a request to cancel your newsletter subscription
to subs@fledglingpress.co.uk
with the single word "Cancel" as the subject or in
the text body of the email.
If you buy a download, your email address is automatically
sent to sales@fledglingpress.co.uk.
The credit card company, WorldPay, also asks you for
normal credit card information, which is held by that
company.
CanYouWrite project
If you sign on for CanYouWrite as a writer or reviewer,
you are asked for your email address, and real name
and address. This is held so that we can operate some
security measures, e.g. to prevent anyone from rating
a piece of writing more than once, and so that we
can communicate with writers if they have submitted
a piece of work that we wish to edit before putting
it up on the site.
No unsolicited emails will be sent.
If you ask for your login password to CanYouWrite
to be remembered and entered for you after you key
in your log-in name, a "cookie" is put on your computer
to enable this. If your browser is set to disallow
cookies, this cannot be done. This is the only cookie
on the site.
If you are an accepted author on the main fledgling
press site.
Your real name and address are requested, (although
you are quite free to write using a pseudonym or nom
de plume for reviews and articles).
If a payment is made to you:
If a payment is made to you, because your work as
an author has been sold or because you have won a
cash prize on the CanYouWrite project, a record is
kept of this for accounting purposes, and will be
reported to the relevant tax authorities.
How is information about you kept secure and safe?
The hosting site operates normal commercial
and industrial standards of security, using the Centre
for Internet Security (http://www.cisecurity.org).
This protects your information from access by most
hackers but can not guarantee that this cannot be
breached by the most ingenious hackers, who seem to
be able to get in everywhere at times.
The Fledgling Press base site, when online,
is protected by an Intruder Alert, which detects and
prevents most hackers from gaining access to information.
Again, this cannot guarantee resistance to extremely
clever hackers.
The WorldPay site, which handles credit card
transactions, naturally operates a higher degree of
security. Inquiries should be made to www.worldpay.co.uk,
if you wish further details about this. It can be
expected that some details of their security systems
will be kept secret, as that is the best way to maintain
full security.
How can you ask for information about you to be
deleted?
Put in a request for this by email, phone, fax or
ordinary mail, and it will be done.
I also promise that nothing from your private details
will be passed on to any other organisation or company
for any reason.
