Privacy statement

GEE Publishing Ltd takes the privacy of its registered users and subscribers seriously. This privacy statement demonstrates our firm commitment to privacy and data protection practices. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site.

  1. Information Use

    Information provided by our visitors and subscribers via onsite registration forms enables us to:

    • process, validate and verify subscriptions
    • generally collate aggregate site traffic information
    • send the user information about the company
    • contact the user when necessary
    • send email notifications of new site features, newsletters and topic updates
    • potentially tailor the user's experience on visiting the site by varying the content based upon known demographics and profiles

    The user can opt-out of future mailings during the registration process. The user can select 'web only' notification rather than email for any personal profiles that have been created. At any point the user can edit/update their own personal details and opt-in or out of receiving product or service information in the future by visiting the 'My Details' section on this site.

    Except when disposing of a particular publication, we do not rent, sell, share or trade any of our users personal details on our email lists to any outside organisations. User information on our postal mailing list is sometimes made available to external bodies. Users may choose to opt-in or out of this by marking the tickbox on the 'My Details' section appropriately. We reserve the right to contact any user at any time regarding subscription renewals or other subscription-related queries.

  2. Cookies

    In common with most professional online services, we use cookies to speed up navigation through the web site. A cookie is a piece of encoded information that is sent from the web site and stored in your computer's memory. This piece of information identifies who you are and therefore avoids the time-consuming process of checking your details against our user database each time a new page is requested. A few points on cookies:

    • cookies only contain as much information as was disclosed to the site that sent it
    • cookies do not take information from your hard drive, delete files or contain viruses
    • cookies are small files (100's of bytes) and do not pose a disk space problem
    • the information in each cookie cannot be readily decoded or used in any other way

  3. Log Files

    We use log files to analyse trends, monitor user's visits and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

  4. Links

    This site contains links to other sites. GEE Publishing Ltd is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

  5. Ordering

    An order form is used for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information as with registration above. This information is used to send orders to our customers and sometimes title updates, newsletters and other product or service information.

  6. Discussion Forums

    This site makes discussion forums available to its users and subscribers. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information such as your contact details (email address, telephone number, etc.).

  7. Surveys and Competitions

    From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys and competitions. Participation in these is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose any information requested. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and delivery address), and demographic information (such as postcode). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the functionality of the site.

  8. Security

    The site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. In addition to this we have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this is restricted internally.

  9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

    All changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted here.
