PRIVACY POLICY
EU GDPR
Here at Colin Crampton, we collect/use information in two places; 1/ when you enter the website in the form of cookies, and 2/ when you subscribe to our readers’ group newsletter via MailChimp.
In accordance with the EU GDPR, we offer our newsletter subscribers the ability to access the data we hold on them and to remove that data if required. This is actioned via
Right to be informed – MailChimp
If you would like to request a copy of the personal data we hold regarding you as a newsletter subscriber (via MailChimp), please email gdpr@colincrampton.com using the original email address you subscribed with, and we will reply with your information within 7 – 14 business days, if not much sooner. Identification will be required to access your personal data. If we cannot be certain the request is legitimate, we have the right to provide data categories instead. In the spirit of transparency, however, and to show our subscribers that we do not collect any irrelevant or questionable data categories, please note this list of categories we collect using Mailchimp:
- The original email address you supplied to us when you signed up
- Your geolocated address via IP at the time of signing up
- Whether or not you opted-in to GDPR (only valid if subscribed on or after 25th May 2018)
- How you subscribed (ie. using our online form, a pop-up form, a third party service etc)
- The date and time you subscribed
- What newsletters you were sent and which of those you opened
- The language your Operating system is set to (if detected)
- The email client you use (generally) to view our newsletters (if detected)
- Your preferred email format (if detected)
- The last time you updated your MailChimp profile
Please note that all categories except the email and GDPR consent fields are automatically collected by MailChimp, and is in no way manipulated or traded by anyone at The Bartram Partnership.
Right to be forgotten – MailChimp
To remove yourself from our newsletter list, please use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter rather than ‘junking’ the newsletter. This ensures a smooth process is followed by both your ISP and MailChimp. You also have the right to request to be ‘forgotten’ from our secure MailChimp database. When you unsubscribe, we segregate your unsubscribed email address into a separate secure segment. This allows us to keep track of who is and who is not currently subscribed, and, in turn, enables us to keep an archive of your past activity should you wish to resubscribe. Yes, people do resubscribe regularly. We do not access or use this inactive segment for any activity except resubscribes. If, however, you would like to request your right to be forgotten, please email forgetme@colincrampton.com using the original subscribed email address and, following identification, we will process the request. An email will be sent to you from forgetme@colincrampton.com confirming the request has been actioned and is complete.
In accordance with the EU GDPR, we advise our website visitors that they must consent to accept all terms and conditions laid out on our privacy policy by accepting the cookie consent on the home page of headlinehero.wpengine.com.

PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

• To send periodic emails regarding your order or other products and services.
How do we protect your information?
Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.
We use regular Malware Scanning.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.
All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
Do we use ‘cookies’?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We use cookies to:
• Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings. Since all browsers are a little different, look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, the only user experience to be affected is our newsletter popup; in that it will continue to pop up even if you close it. To avoid this, please enable cookies, which will allow us to recognise who you are (not personally, just the fact that your computer once visited our website), when you decided to close the popup (or what action you took otherwise), and therefore how long until it pops up again. Without cookies, we cannot control this, and your user experience will be diminished.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at:
http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously, please just disable cookies

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email – Within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
We collect your email address in order to:
• Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
