subscribe to our newsletter We add your name and email
address to the Scientific Publishers' Newsletter mailing list, which is managed
via AWS and SendBlaster(Third Party). In September 2021 we made a decision to
no longer use tracking in our newsletters, which means that we can’t identify
how many or which users have opened mailouts or followed links. Subscribers
receive one general Scientific Publishers' Newsletter monthly; if you have
selected to receive one or more of our special interest newsletters, you’ll
receive an extra monthly bulletin for each. Rarely, we send an extra mail out to
impart news or announce events. Note: Third party
may transfer personal data outside the EU. Please contact AWS or
Send Blaster with questions or concerns about this. Legal basis for processing In subscribing
to the newsletter or contacting us, you are consenting to the processes as
described on this page. The legal basis is GDPR 6(1)(a) – Consent of the data
subject. How to unsubscribe from the
newsletter Every
newsletter contains a quick and easy unsubscribe link in its footer. When you
unsubscribe from a newsletter managed via Send Blaster, your details remain on
the list of past recipients. This is a measure to prevent circumstances such as
a member of staff accidentally manually re-adding you. However,
provided you are still a subscriber at the point when you contact us, on the
request your details can be permanently removed from the list – Please get
in touch if you would like this to happen. Your right to access You may contact
us at any time to ask to see what personal data we hold about you.
Please contact us to request this. Your right to erasure You may request
that we destroy the personal data that we hold about you, provided that there
is no legitimate reason for us continuing to hold it, that is to say, if it
does not relate to financial transactions or is unlikely to be of any legal or
practical purpose in the future. Please contact us to request this. Your right to complain If you believe
that we have mishandled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with
the Information Commissioner’s Office. You can report a concern
here (but do contact us first, so that we can try and help).
