Personal information we collect and how we use it 

The personal information we collect and how we use it depends on our relationship with you.

 

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.

 

Personal information we collect about authors and illustrators and how we collect it

As an author or illustrator we will collect your personal information primarily in connection with the publication, promotion and sale of your books and in the course of making publishing decisions.

 

Personal information we collect about business contacts and how we collect it

This section applies to all people who we work with when we publish, promote, licence rights to and sell our books. This includes literary and talent agents, rights holders, persons seeking permission to use material in our books, journalists and other media professionals, bloggers, vloggers, influencers, book reviewers, booksellers, librarians and educators, narrators and prospective narrators of our audio books,  service providers, suppliers and other business contacts.

As a business contact, we will collect your personal information in the course of our business dealings with you.

 

Visitors to our offices 

We collect personal information from visitors to our offices including the date of your visit, your name, contact details, organisation, photograph, arrival and departure time, host details, the purpose of your visit and information about any specific requirements you may have. We collect this information to facilitate your visit, to ensure building security and for safety reasons in the event of an emergency or building evacuation.

We have security measures in place at our offices, including CCTV.

We use CCTV to maintain the security of our offices, prevent and investigate crime, and in the interests of health and safety. The images captured are securely stored and only accessed where necessary (e.g. to look into an incident).  CCTV recordings are typically automatically overwritten after a short period of time unless an issue is identified that requires investigation (such as a theft).

In the unlikely event that you have an accident on our premises we will also collect details of the accident in order to comply with relevant health and safety legislation.

 

Employees, contractors, and freelancers 

We collect personal information concerning our own personnel as part of the administration and management of our business activities. If you are an employee, contractor, consultant or freelancer, you should refer to the Privacy Notice available on the company intranet or otherwise provided to you.

 

Sharing your personal information 

We may share your personal information with selected third parties, although it is likely that the exact identity of the third parties with whom we share your personal information will change during your relationship with us.

 

The legal reasons for using your personal information

When we collect and use your personal information, we only do so in accordance with at least one of the legal reasons allowed by Data Protection Law.

One of these is where we have obtained your specific consent to use your personal information, such as when our newsletter subscribers consent to receiving email marketing communications from us or when you consent to the use of non-essential cookies on our website.

Another is where we need to use your information to perform the contract we have entered into with you, such as when we use personal information to pay our authors, illustrators or suppliers.

Another is where using your information is necessary to comply with a legal obligation. For instance, where we are ordered by a court or regulatory authority to disclose your personal information.

In certain circumstances we may collect and use personal information where this is necessary in our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party. This broadly means that we can use your personal information if we have a genuine legitimate reason and we are not harming your rights and interests in doing so.

 

How we keep your personal information safe

We take looking after your information very seriously. We have implemented appropriate physical, technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we have under our control, both on and off-line, to protect it from improper access, use, disclosure, alteration, destruction and loss.

We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Our website contains links to other websites, for example to enable you to “click to buy” our books from third party retailers.  Please be aware that this Privacy Notice does not apply to such websites and that we are not responsible for your information that third parties may collect through these websites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave our website, and to read the privacy and cookie policies of other sites that collect or use personal information. 

 

If your personal information changes

It is important that the personal information which we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes.

 

If you don’t provide us with your personal information
