Privacy Policy
Iceberg Press Ltd fully respects the privacy of all our users and while we do collect information at registration and from time to time through various means such as surveys, competitions and other means, we strictly believe in respecting your right to privacy. To this end we will NEVER supply the personal details of any user to any third party unless a) you give us your explicit permission to do so, or b) we are obliged to do so by relevant authorities.
We may also disclose information to the Police where we believe it to be in the interests of the individual concerned or for the prevention or detection of crime.
Types of personal information and how we collect it: Information you provide upon registration: in order to make use of certain services provided through the website such as forums and email newsletters, you will either need to: (a) register an account with us. When you do so, you will provide us with information about yourself and you will be able to select how we use your information for marketing purposes; (b) log in using a social media account of your choice. When you do so, we will be provided with certain information about you from the social media site, as specified when you log in. You will be able to select how we use your information for marketing purposes.

Information you provide when you order a product or service: If you order something from us, you will need to provide certain personal details so that the order can be fulfilled.

If you do, you will need to provide certain information about your subscription to the digital newsstand. The digital newsstand may need to verify that information with our print subscription fulfillment provider. The digital newsstand will only use the information that you and our print subscription fulfillment provider provide, to enable them to fulfill your order unless you agree otherwise.
