Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 25th, 2018 to cover EU GDPR requirements

Any contact information you provide (typically an email address and sometimes your name) to Adrian G Hilder, the publisher Camdaw Ltd, and their IT systems suppliers will be kept private. It will be used only for the purposes of operating this website, keeping you informed about giveaways, special offers, new book releases, news, events and other information of interest to fantasy fiction fans. The delivery mechanism for this type of information is usually email but may sometimes include personalised Facebook advertising.
Adrian G Hilder and the publisher Camdaw Ltd may receive your contact details from third parties at various times who operate free or discounted book and advertisement services on their behalf. Examples of such service providers are Facebook, instaFreebie.com and bookfunnel.com.

Email list subscriptions are taken and stored in compliance with UK Spam Laws detailed in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) that came into force May 25th, 2018. No personal details are passed on to third parties nor shared with companies/people outside of the company that operates this website or reputable companies providing email subscription services (e.g. MailChimp and MailerLite). Under the GDPR 2018, you may request a copy of personal information held about you by this website’s email newsletter program. Note that personally identifying information about you is included at the end of each email you receive, so there should never be a need for you to request it. Email marketing campaigns published by this website, email subscription service providers or its owners may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Subscriber activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include; the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates and frequency of activity. This information is used to refine future email campaigns and supply the user with more relevant content based on their activity. You may request a copy of this information. If you do request it, a small fee may be payable. If you would like a copy of the email tracking information held on you, please email adrian@adrianhilder.com (preferred) or write to the business address at the bottom of this privacy policy. We will need to know the email address you used to register to the readers group newsletter to action this.
In compliance with UK Spam Laws and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 subscribers are given the opportunity to un-subscribe at any time through an automated system. This process is detailed at the footer of each email campaign.

Under GDPR 2018 you have the right to be “forgotten” which is the complete removal of information we hold about you. If you wish to be “forgotten” please email your request to adrian@adrianhilder.com. Our email list system has a new “forget subscriber” function so it is simple for us to action this. We will also make all reasonable effort to delete all records of your contact from the Google mail account used by adrian@adrianhilder.com.
