PUFFIN PRIVACY POLICY FOR CHILDREN AGED 13 AND OVER
Hey you! Yeah, you!
Are you 13 yet?
You're not?
Well, then it's your lucky day. You don't need to read all this stuff, just ask
one of the grown ups you live with, or your teacher, to do all the work. Ask
them to scroll down the page and start reading for you.
If you're 13 already, we're afraid you've got some reading to do...
So, who are we?
This is Puffin's Chew on This web site, but Penguin Books Limited takes care
of it for Puffin, so if you have a problem, Penguin is the one to contact.
Where are we?
If you want to ask us a question about the web site or what we do with
things
you tell us about yourself:
Write to us at Puffin, Penguin Books Limited, 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL
Or email us at: puffin@penguin.co.uk
Or give us a call on: 020 7010 3000
When are we going to bug you?
We'll only contact you if you send us your details via the pop-up box or through
email. We will keep your info so we know who to send exciting Puffin news and
updates to. If you don't send us your info and haven't asked us to send you
future Puffin news and information, we won't have a way of contacting you so
don't worry!
Hey you! You're not 13 yet are you?
Didn't we tell you not to read all this? Aren't you bored yet? Ask an adult to
read what comes next. They're used to being bored.
You tell us about yourself - then what?
If you come and visit our web site then we promise that we won't go telling
anyone else the stuff you've told us. That would be pretty rude.

Our approach to children's privacy
We encourage parents, guardians and teachers to spend time online with children
and to participate in the activities offered on this site. If your child is
younger than 13, we ask you to play an active role in safeguarding his or her
privacy (and supervising his or her activities) when using our site.
The information we collect and how we use it
We want to make sure that when we collect information from children we do so
in a way that does not infringe their right to privacy. This Privacy Policy
is
designed to give you useful information about your child's rights and the way
we
collect and use personal information.

information obtained from children through this web site in a retrievable form.
If children send us their details by email or via the pop-up box, we'll keep
their details so we'll know when to send them news and updates about Chew on This
or
other
Puffin books, unless they tick the boxes to let us know that
they don't wish us to send them this information. If a child is under 13 years
old, we wont send news and updates about Chew on This and other Puffin books
unless a parent/guardian or teacher has given his or her consent. We won't pass
children's details to third parties.
We don't use cookies to track or collect user information (a cookie is a small
