Who is responsible

This website and the readers' list are run by Whittington Studios, the publisher of Guy Faulkner's books. Whittington Studios decides how your personal data is used. Contact: books@whittingtonstudios.com.

What we collect

If you join the readers' list, we collect your email address, and the date and technical details of your sign-up (such as your IP address) needed to record your consent. We collect nothing else through this site.

Why, and on what basis

We use your email address to send you news of Guy Faulkner's books and related material, such as a free short scene. We do this only because you asked to join the list, which is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time.

Who handles it

The list is managed with Mailchimp, which is based in the United States and acts on our behalf. We do not sell your data or pass it to anyone else for their own use.

How long we keep it

Until you unsubscribe. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. Mailchimp then keeps your address marked as unsubscribed so you are not emailed again, unless you ask us to delete it.

Cookies

We do not add analytics or advertising cookies to this site. Mailchimp may process technical data, such as your IP address, to handle sign-ups.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, and you can object to or withdraw consent for our use of it. Email us at the address above. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
