GDPR / PRIVACY / DATA PROTECTION

Introduction

 

Thank you for visiting our web site. General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) became effective in May 2018. With that in mind, we would like you to understand how we collect, store and use your personal data.

 

Collection of your personal information

 

In order to provide the professional service you require from us, we need to ask you for some personal information. We may ask for your basic contact information (such as name, telephone numbers, postal and email addresses). We may also ask for variable additional information that we need in order to provide the professional service that you require from us.

 

Storage, processing and retention of your information

 

Information we hold may be stored on computer or written project notes in a typical secure office environment. We retain your information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our products and services to you, and to maintain records to satisfy tax and other legal requirements.

 

Sharing your personal information

 

Your personal information will be used by us solely for the purpose of directly servicing your needs. Very occasionally we may need to share some of your information in order to complete our service obligations to you - for example, we may need to share your contact details in order that a third party can deliver a product to you. Apart from where necessary to fulfill our service obligations to you, or where necessary to satisfy tax and other legal requirements, your information will never be shared or sold for commercial gain.

 

Your rights with respect to the information we hold

 

You are entitled to access the personal information that we hold about you. If any information we hold is inaccurate you can ask us to correct it. You can also ask us to delete your information - we will do this unless it prevents us fulfilling our service obligations to you or meeting any tax, legal or regulatory obligations.

 

Communication preferences

 

We may contact you by telephone, post or email in order to provide you with a full and professional service. This could be to directly service your individual needs, or for more general communications that we think might be of benefit to you. We do not operate any form of mass postal, telephone or email marketing. You can ask that we do not send you communications using any of the contact details we hold on our records.

All advertisements created by The Business will be proofed to The Client prior to publication.

The Business reserves the right to refuse advertisements which may be defamatory or offensive, or which promote products that many be considered indecent or illegal.

 

The Business makes no guarantee that advertising will be successful. For the best chance of success, The Business recommends that advertising is booked for three or more issues; it is a proven theory that repetition brings familiarity.

 

Copyright of advertisements

 

The copyright of advertisements designed by The Business on The Client’s behalf is owned solely by The Business.

 

The Business may provide copies/proofs of the advertisement for approval by The Client prior to publication, but this does not infer in any way ownership or permission of this copy/proof for use by The Client, and as such must not be stored, either digitally or physically, by The Client once approval has been given, nor reproduced or redistributed to third parties without permission of The Business.

 

If The Client wishes to use advertisements designed by The Business in other publications, The Client will be required to ask permission of The Business, which should be given in writing, and a release fee may be charged. The Business reserves the right to charge a fee of not more than £100 where permission has not been obtained to use the advert in other publications and publication of that advert occurs.

 

The advert design fee for Clients is £25.

 

Whilst Clients are able to change their advert on a per issue basis, for Clients which have used the advert design service and who wish to change their advert an amendment fee may be charged if the changes are deemed significant, the fee not to exceed the cost of the initial advert design fee stated above.

The Business reserves the right to charge The Client for any external credit control services used in relation to recovery of The Client’s outstanding debt and The Business also reserves the right to charge compound interest on any debts older than fourteen days from the due date on the invoice.

 

Cancellation

 

Advertising space should be cancelled either in writing or by electronic communication, by the copy deadline of the issue preceding publication.

 

Late cancellation may result in full payment being levied on The Client.

 

Clients and their customers

 

The Business takes no part in the contract between The Client and their customers. Readers of the magazine are reminded that The Business accepts no liability for loss, damage or difficulties resulting from contracts between The Client and their customers, nor from errors, omissions or claims made by Clients.

 

Inclusion within the Publication does not imply a recommendation.

Any issue resolution remains between The Client and their customer, and The Business will accept no responsibility in establishing this resolution process.

 

The Business reserves the right to remove any advertisements for Clients who are deemed to bring The Publication into disrepute or which have been requested to be removed by the relevant legal or regulatory authorities without notice and without recourse. Refunds will not be made, and full payment may still be levied on the Client for the period booked.

 

Data Protection

 

All details of Clients are kept strictly confidential and will never be passed to a third-party (unless required to do so under legal or regulatory statute).
