Data Protection Policy

The new Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) came into force on the 25th May 2018 regarding the retention of personal data and its use. We are fully compliant with the new GDPR requirements and you can view our policy below.

Because we have a contractual obligation to retain our author details for the purposes of royalty payments, we will follow the practice outlined in our policy document. However, we will not divulge the information to any third party or use it for the purposes of issuing general marketing information. As the new regulations now require the recipient to ‘opt-in’ in order to receive these.

ShieldCrest has its own blog and our own social media accounts including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube which we use extensively to inform everyone of our new releases, author advice and general company information, all of which are opt-in applications. We therefore strongly suggest that you ensure you are registered on all of these if you wish to continue being updated on company events or to receive advice and ideas often submitted by our other authors.

To sign up to these please take the links at the top of the page and by registering to receive information at these location, it will ensure you do not miss important news items.

Should you require any additional information or assistance, please email us at customerservice@shieldcrest.co.uk or use the contact form.
