HACHETTE UK PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy Statement
Hachette UK's policy is to act in accordance with current legislation and to meet current best practice on the internet with regard to our use and handling of personal data. Our aim is to be responsible, relevant and secure when using your personal data.
Collection and use of personal data
We may need to know your personal details including your name, address and email address to provide you with information or reply to your queries. We may also collect and process data about you if you purchase any books through The Watts Publishing Group Ltd. and/or if you enter any competition run by or in association with The Watts Publishing Group Ltd.
We may use such personal data to provide you with details of matters that we feel may be of interest or use to you. You can opt out of receiving further information of this nature from The Watts Publishing Group Ltd. by emailing ad@hachettechildrens.co.uk with �Unsubscribe� in the subject bar.
On our public website, we do not log personal data via cookies, and we do not link any of your personal data with third parties to build our customer demographics.
Sharing personal data
We do not give out any of your personal information to third parties except as set out below.
We reserve the right to release personal data when we believe that release is appropriate in order to comply with the law, or to enforce our terms and conditions, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Watts Publishing Group Ltd., our group companies, our customers, or other third parties.
We do not sell personal data about our customers to third parties. However, we may release personal data if we acquire any new businesses and/or sell all or part of our business.
Protection of personal data
We will take all reasonable precautions to ensure that all the personal data that you have submitted via the website remains confidential. As required by the Data Protection Act 1998 we have strict security procedures regarding the storage and disclosure of personal data. i.e. For example, orchardbooks.co.uk is a secure site with full firewall protection and we use the same kind of high-level technology which is used to protect credit card payments on the internet.
