Privacy Policy

Effective: September 2020

The Treehouse of Writers (‘The Treehouse of Writers’, ‘TToW’ ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘company”, ‘website’ and/or ‘our’) is committed to protecting your privacy.

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which the website collects,  uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a  ‘User’) of the website (‘Site’, ‘Service’). This privacy policy applies  to the Site and all products and services offered by the company.

We may collect personal identification information from Users in a  variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our  site, register on the site, or subscribe to the newsletter. We will also collect the information required in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we  make available on our Site (including but not limited to blog tours, cover reveals, group marketing, etc.). Users may be asked for, as appropriate, an email address. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will  collect personal identification information from Users only if they  voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to  supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent  them from engaging in certain Site related activities.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data controller  in respect of any personal data that you submit to us is The Treehouse of Writers.

If you want to know what information we hold about you or if you have  any other queries in relation to this privacy policy, please contact us  using the contact form located in the heading of our website.

We will collect information that you provide to us when you purchase  any of our products and/or register to use our services/site (such  information shall include, but may not be limited to, your name and email address).

Any letters, e-mails, blog comments, responses on Social Media  platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter,  or questions written directly to us may be used as blog material for our  audience unless specifically requested otherwise. (Part of) these  letters or emails, questions or any other feedback may be used in  newsletters, blog posts, columns or up-and-coming books.

In the event of private forums being created, it is possible to view The Treehouse of Writers website without providing  any personal details. However, without giving consent you shall not  be able to view the entirety of our website.

We may also receive some information that you submit to any third  party website or application that you access through the Service. Both  The Treehouse of Writers and the owner or operator of that third party website  will be the data controller in respect of any such information; you  should check the privacy policy of that website to find out how they  will use your personal information.

We will only use any information that we collect from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
