Privacy Policy

 
Privacy is an important concern for internet users, and is something that Red Circle Authors Limited (‘Red Circle’) takes very seriously. What follows is an explanation of Red Circle’s policy for protecting users’ personal information.

What personal information does Red Circle ask users to supply, and why?

Registration on Red Circle is optional and voluntary. Browsing and viewing material on Red Circle does not require any personal information to be submitted from users. Nor do these functions require the user’s browser to be set to accept cookies.

Some other aspects of the Red Circle service do require the use of cookies, and the supply of information such as name, email, etc. This is necessary for security reasons and to be able to provide such services, and, for example, for us to reply to individuals who have contacted Red Circle via the contact form.

In accordance with European Union guidelines, registrants may decline to provide the information requested. They should be advised, however, that Red Circle may be unable to deliver its services unless at least the information necessary to enable fulfillment of the service, security and identification purposes is provided.

What further information does Red Circle track, and why?

In order to offer the best possible service to users, Red Circle tracks the patterns of usage of pages on the site. This enables us to identify the most popular material and services.

This service uses cookies to enable third party vendors, including Google, to show our ads on sites across the internet. You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

What is Red Circle’s policy on using demographic information about users for online advertising purposes?

Statistical demographic information about Red Circle usage may be supplied to advertisers. Red Circle may target online advertising to specific users on the basis of this demographic information, or on the basis of their past behavior on the site, but information about an individual user will not be passed on to an advertiser without the user’s express consent. Red Circle does not current display banner adverts for third party organisations or companies on its website.
