Purpose of this privacy policy

This privacy policy aims to give you information on how Square Meter Media Limited collects and processes your personal data through the use of our Website, including any data you may provide through our Website when you sign up for our eBooks and further updating chapters, make an online enquiry or place an order for advertising space on our Website.

Our Website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements the other policies and is not intended to override them.  

Who we are

Square Meter Media Limited (“Square Meter Media”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a ‘data controller’ for the purposes of your personal data. This means that we determine the purpose and means of the processing of your personal data. You will find our contact details at the end of this policy (see ‘How to contact us’).

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows: 

• Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier and title.
• Contact Data includes email address, postal address and telephone numbers.
• Financial Data includes bank account details when payment of an invoice is received. 
• Location Data includes the area of the UK in which you live (e.g. the South).
• Transaction Data includes subscription date, details of products you have purchased from us, including the date, order details and any additional details you provide.
• Technical Data includes your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access our Website. 
• Profile Data includes your username and password and purchases or orders made by you and your preferences.
• Usage Data includes information about how you use our Website.
• Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods or services). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
