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 Linda Chapman's 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.

PRIVACY POLICY FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS

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.

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

We don't disclose personal information we have collected from children through this web site to third parties.

Besides what we describe in this Privacy Policy, we do not maintain any personal 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 Linda Chapman 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 Linda Chapman 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 amount of information sent by a web server to a web browser - some sites do use cookies as a means of tracking user information).

If you wish to check what information we hold about your children and/or wish us to amend or delete the information, you can do so by writing to the Online Manager of Puffin Books c/o Penguin Books Ltd, 80 Strand, London WC2R ORL.
