Your privacy is very important! So we’re not going to ask you for personal information we don’t need, and we’re not going to share it with anyone else unless required by law.

If you sign up to Robin’s newsletter, we will provide your details to MailChimp in order to email you. We’ll also keep some info in MailChimp about your preferences, mostly to avoid sending you the kinds of stuff you don’t want. That info is stored in MailChimp, and is never sent anywhere else. If Robin ever changes Mailing List providers, we will transfer that data, FYI. You are welcome to change your subscription or unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of each mailing list email. We don’t store your personal information on the website server unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

Website Visitors

We collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available (browser type, language preference, referring site, date and time of each visitor request) to better understand how visitors use this website. This non-identifiable data might be released in the form of user statistics, such as demographics on how visitors are accessing the site, but it’s unlikely.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the blog.  We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Sometimes, we might gather some personally-identifying information with your permission. For example, if you sign up to Robin’s newsletter or leave a comment on the blog you can choose to share personally-identifying information such as a name and email address

We don’t disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. You can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, however that might prevent you from engaging with the website and mailing list, etc.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

We disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to website administrators and third party marketing providers–at the moment that’s just Robin and MailChimp. By using using this website and providing personal information to the mailing list or site, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. We won’t sell or rent your information to ANYONE. EVER. We will, however, disclose your information if absolutely required by the law, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the  property or rights of Robin Moray, third parties, or the public at large.

If you have signed up for the mailing list you consent to receive marketing materials from Robin Moray. These are primarily related to new releases, giveaways, advance copies of upcoming books for review, and announcements. We try to keep them to a minimum, because no-one wants to be inundated with emails.

We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of this website, and their website access preferences. For example, they stop you from being asked to join the mailing list every time you load the website. If you don’t want to have cookies placed on your computer you should set your browser to refuse cookies before using this website, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies, and you definitely WILL get that annoying nag to sign up to the mailing list every time you load a page. (Sorry!)

Changes to This Policy

Mostly, we don’t want to change the Privacy Policy. But if it has to happen, the changes should be minor. If you’re concerned about a change in policy, you should check this page for updates. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
