Privacy Policy

At www.arbuturian.com we collect different types of information about our users for two main reasons:

  • To help us to monitor and improve the services we offer.
  • To use anonymous details about our users to sell appropriate advertising space on the site. This might involve showing an advertiser how many users we have on the site; it does not mean sharing an individual’s details with an advertiser. Where we collect registration information from an individual, such as newsletter subscriptions or applications for competitions, we will never share that individual’s information with a third party, including an advertiser, without that user’s explicit permission or unless stated clearly in the promotional text.

Our principles

  • We will respect your email privacy. You will not receive unsolicited marketing mail from The Arbuturian or from third parties unless you have agreed to this. We may, however, mail you occasionally with information or queries about your registration or comment postings, for example, with reminders, warnings or copyright requests.
  • We will not pass on any individual user details (including your email address) for third party use unless we have your prior consent.
  • We will only share anonymous aggregate statistics about our users, sales and traffic patterns with our advertisers.
  • Our site is accessible via the Internet and so may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other users may access the site from outside the European Economic Area. This means that, where you choose to post your data on the site, this could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your data outside of the European Economic Area may be deemed to have occurred. You consent to such transfer of your data for and by way of this purpose. Where we or our contractors transfer data outside of the European Economic Area this is only ever done with the relevant protections required by law in place.

Should we elect to change our privacy policy we will post the changes here. Where the changes are significant, we may also choose to email all our registered users with the new details.

    The Bountiful Game

    The truce is over. For three weeks in June, football fans all over the country were forced to jettison their club affiliations and clasp to their collective bosom, players for whom they normally have unbridled contempt (step forward Messrs A.

    The Art of Studio Living

    Are you under the impression that it is impossible to live elegantly in a studio? With all one’s rooms rolled together into one unit, you might think it an uncomfortable, awkward, graceless way to live. Humans are not built to live in one small space, you might say. Humans need to have quarters for...

    The Windermere Suites

    If Windermere Suites had been around in Wainwright’s day, I fear that there would now be hoards of walkers aimlessly wandering around the fells, with absolutely no idea where they’re headed. Because who’s to say that Wainwright would have been any more immune to this high-end B&B’s charms...
