PRIVACY POLICY

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for visiting www.ouenpress.com. This site is owned and operated by Ouen Press. For purposes of the policy, references to “we,” “our,” and “us” mean Ouen Press.

Your privacy is important to us. Here you can find useful information on how your data and details are protected when you supply them to us.

This Site provides a wide range of information to our Site’s visitors. Like many websites, we also collect information from our visitors, including personally identifiable information (your full name, e-mail address, phone number) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g. aggregate statistics about what parts of our Site are most popular).

This privacy policy is designed to tell you about our information collection practices at this site – that is:

  • the ways we collect information;
  • what kinds of information we collect;
  • why we collect information; how we use information we collect;
  • with whom we share information we collect;
  • how you can access, amend, and delete information we collect from you.

Before using this site – and particularly before submitting personally identifiable information via this site – you should read this entire policy. Use of this site constitutes your agreement to the terms of this policy. If the terms and conditions of the policy are not acceptable to you, do not submit any personally identifiable information via this site.

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY AND LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide whilst visiting third party sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy policy/statement applicable to the website in question.

THE WAYS WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

This site collects information from its visitors in two ways: actively and passively.

Active information collection refers to instances in which we gather information from you when you fill it in and send it to us such as sending us a message via an e-mail reply mechanism provided by this site. Active information collection can include both personally identifiable information (e.g., your full name or information that is unique to you) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g a list of the top three books that have influenced your work).

Passive information collection refers to instances in which we collect information from you that you have not actively provided

Active information collection methods on this site:

(a) Email reply mechanism

If you are interested in receiving electronic updates, alerts, and other information from us regarding this site and our products and services, you must provide us with an e-mail address and your name. In completing our ‘Contact Us’ email reply form, we may also ask for optional information, such as your telephone number.

(b) Feedback Information

We welcome your comments and feedback regarding this site and our products, services and programs. This site provides an e-mail address that permits you to send us your own e-mail address, comments, and any other information you choose to include. E-mail is not secure. As a result, you should carefully consider what information you wish to send to us via e-mail.

Passive information collection methods

We may use special technologies to passively collect information while you are visiting www.ouenpress.com (that is, you do not actively provide this information). These technologies allow us to collect certain kinds of non-personally identifiable information, including your Internet domain name, the type of web browser you use, the operating system you use, the date and time of your visit www.ouenpress.com, the specific pages you visit, and the address of the web site you visited prior to entering www.ouenpress.com. We do not link this passively collected non-personally identifiable information with personally identifiable information you have actively provided elsewhere on this site. We reserve the right to share with third parties, including our business partners and advertisers, the anonymous aggregated information that we have passively collected via this site.

The primary means of passive information collection at our site are:

(a) Cookies

This site uses cookies, which are small text files that store non-personally identifiable information about you, either temporarily in connection with your Internet Protocol (IP) address (known as a temporary or session cookie, and deleted once you close your browser window) or more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known as a permanent or persistent cookie). This site uses session cookies so that you do not have to fill in the same information from page to page within www.ouenpress.com. If you elect not to receive cookies, you may be able to view some, but not all, of the content on this site.

(b) Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses

This site uses Internet protocol (IP) addresses. IP addresses are unique identifiers automatically assigned to each computer when logging onto the Internet. IP addresses allow us to collect much of the same information we collect through cookies, including browser type, what pages you visit, and how long you stay on the site. In general, IP addresses allow us to identify problems with our servers, prepare aggregate demographic information and other information regarding this use of this site, and improve the functions of this site.

CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Opting Out

We do not seek to collect personally identifiable information from you that you do not want collected. To that end, we indicate at all active information collection points whether requested information is required or optional. We also attempt to tell you at the point of collection and in this policy what the consequences will be (e.g. inability to access important functions of the site, less tailoring of information to match your interests, etc.) if you do not provide the required or optional information. When you submit personally identifiable information via this site, whether such information is required or optional, you consent to its disclosure and use in accordance with this privacy policy. If you ever decide that you do not wish to receive information from us regarding our products and services, you may opt out of receiving this information by contacting us by e-mail at info@ouenpress.com (please write “unsubscribe” in the subject line).

Keeping your data up to date

We take reasonable steps to ensure personally identifiable information you send us via this site is accurate, current, and complete. To that end, we provide you with reasonable access to your personal information to correct errors and delete the information you have provided. If you wish to correct or delete your personally identifiable information, please contact us by email.

To respond to your request or inquiry, we may require follow-up or contact information to allow us to verify you are the person authorised to view the information you are requesting. We may, at our discretion, refuse to allow you access to certain information, if, in our view, to provide such access would jeopardise another person's privacy; would violate any applicable federal, state or foreign law, regulation, or directive; or would unreasonably burden this site.

THIS SITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN

This site is not directed to, and does not seek to collect personally identifiable information from, children under the age of 13. Nevertheless, if we are informed that we have collected information from someone in this age category, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time and in our sole discretion. If we do change the Policy, the new Policy will be posted here, along with its revision date, and all information collected following the posting of such changes will be subject to the new Policy. We want you to know, however, that before we use or disclose your previously collected personally identifiable information in a materially different manner from that to which you agreed, we will first secure your affirmative consent for such use or disclosure. In the absence of such consent, we will use your personally identifiable information in accordance with the Policy in effect at the time we collected the information, subject to any updates in legislation. We encourage you to check this Policy periodically and – at a minimum – before each instance in which you provide personally identifiable information via this site.
