Our Approach to privacy

We want people who visit our website to be able to take part fully in the activities and offers we provide. We also want to make sure that when we collect information from you we do so in a way that does not infringe your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy is designed to give you useful information about your rights and the way we collect and use personal information.

We do not ask you to disclose any more information than is reasonably necessary to enable you to participate in an activity on our website and to improve the website.

We do not generally disclose personal information we have collected from you through this website to third parties. We may do so sometimes, in which case we will say so when the information is collected and you will be able to inform us that you do not want us to do this. This will not stop you enjoying the site, you can simply tell us that you are happy for us to have the information so you can take part in the activities we offer, but that you do not want us to pass that information on.

Besides what we describe in this Privacy Policy, we do not maintain any personal information obtained from users through this website in a retrievable form.

The information we collect and how we use it

When you want to participate in activities on our website, this is the sort of information we ask for and how we use it:

* When you enter competitions, we ask you for your name, email and residential address. If you win, we can let you know if you have won anything, send you your prize and let other people (such as other users of our website, the public and our own employees) know about our competitions and their winners.
* If you register to be sent information about our authors, books and so forth either on the Join our Newsletter or on the Contact Us pages, we will ask you for your name, email address and contact number. We use this information to identify you, to contact you about your interest in Penguin, including sending out information you have requested, and for internal market research purposes.

We only keep the personal information you submit for these purposes until we have made use of it in these ways.

Cookies

We use cookies on this website. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser. They enable us to recognise your web browser. In effect, cookies tell us when you have visited our site and where you have been, but they do not identify you personally - just the presence of your browser. We use cookies to see how often people visit our site and what they look at. This helps us to know what parts of the site are popular - what people are interested in - so we can make sure we have more interesting material on the site in future. If you don't want us to be able to do this, your browser's help section should be able to tell you how you can disable or filter cookies and how to arrange for your browser to tell you when you've been sent a new cookie.
