What information do we collect?

In this Privacy Policy, your "personal information" means information that could allow you to be identified. This typically includes information such as your name, address, username, profile picture, email address, telephone number, or IP address. Personal information may be derived from different sources, including:

• Information that you give us directly

  We may collect personal information from you directly, e.g. when you subscribe to our publication, submit content like manuscripts or artwork, sign up to receive information, or buy a product or service from us.

• Information from other sources

  We may receive personal information about you from other sources, either available publicly, such as other publications, or made available with your consent. The types of personal information that we may collect from such sources include your name, professional e-mail and street address, and publicly available information such as user-generated content, publications, blogs and postings, as permitted by law.

• Information we collect when using our website.

  Carmalarky uses some necessary cookies so visitors can navigate and use key features on our site. Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on a device. For example, functional and required cookies are needed for customer accounts, shopping cart/checkout and URL redirects. We use analytics and performance cookies to collect information how visitors interact with our site.

How do we use your personal information?

We may use your personal information:

• to invite you to contribute to Carmalarky;

• to facilitate peer review;

• to provide you with products, services or information that you request from us;

• to contact you regarding products and services which may be of interest to you, provided you have given us consent to do so or you have previously requested a similar product or service within a reasonable timeframe;

• to respond to your queries or comments;

• to improve our products and your experience on our website;

• to evaluate the use of our website, publication, products and services;

• to personalize your website experience, as well as to evaluate (anonymously and in the aggregate) statistics on website activity.

Where we collect personal information for a specific purpose, we will not keep it for longer than is necessary to fulfil that purpose, unless we have to keep it for legitimate business or legal reasons. In order to protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, when we delete information from our services we do not immediately delete residual copies from our servers or remove information from our backup systems.

You can opt out of receiving communications from us at any time. Any direct marketing communications that we send to you will provide you with the information necessary to opt out.

Who do we share your personal information with?

As a general rule, we do not share your personal information with anyone outside of Carmalarky. However, we may share your personal information with trusted third parties:

• advertising, marketing and promotional agencies to help us deliver and analyze the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and promotions;

• third parties required to deliver a product or service to you, such as a delivery or postal service delivering a product that you have ordered;

• law enforcement or government authorities where they have followed due legal process to request us to disclose the information;

• third party providers of services to Carmalarky, such as data processing.

If we do share your personal information with a third party, we shall use our best efforts to ensure that they keep your information secure, and that they only use it in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws and regulations.
