This notice explains how RAI Publishing Ltd collects and uses personal information when you visit this Squarespace-hosted website, request the free study guide, or separately choose to receive one email when the author’s next book is released. It also explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies.

1. Who We Are

This website is operated by RAI Publishing Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We are responsible for deciding why and how the personal information described in this notice is used.

Privacy enquiries and requests may be submitted to info@disasterdecisions.com

2. Scope of This Notice

This notice applies to information collected through this website and the study-guide signup form. It does not cover external websites reached through links from this site. Those external services apply their own privacy notices.

3. Information We Collect

Information you provide

When you use the study-guide form, we collect:

· your first name;

· your email address;

· your choice about receiving the optional one-time book-release notification; and

· the date and time the signup request and notification choice were received.

Information collected when you visit the website

Squarespace may collect technical and usage information when you visit this website, including:

· information about your browser, network and device;

· web pages you visited before arriving at this website;

· web pages you view while using this website;

· your IP address; and

· clicks, searches, scrolling and timestamps where site analytics are enabled.

4. Why We Use Your Information and Our Lawful Bases

Study guide: We use your first name and email address to provide the study guide you have requested.

Book-release notification: If you separately choose to receive the book-release notification, we use your email address for that purpose based on your consent.

5. Study-Guide and Book-Release Choices

You may request the study guide without agreeing to receive the book-release notification. If you select the optional notification box, we will send you one email when the author’s next book is released. We will not use this signup to send a regular newsletter or ongoing marketing emails.

You may withdraw your choice to receive the book-release notification at any time without affecting delivery of a study guide already requested.

6. Squarespace Hosting and Website Services

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace processes website and form information to provide hosting, security, analytics and related website services to us. It may also process certain technical information about website visitors for its own purposes, including protecting the security and integrity of its services.

Further information is available in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

7. Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft 365

We use Microsoft Outlook and associated Microsoft 365 services. If you select the optional book-release notification, the same service will be used to send that one notification.

Further information is available in the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

8. Other Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell the name or email address collected through this form.

9. International Transfers

Our website-hosting and email-service providers may process personal information in countries outside your country of residence. Where applicable law restricts such transfers, we rely on the safeguards and transfer mechanisms provided by those service providers in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

10. Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice:

· information used to deliver the study guide is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to complete delivery, resolve delivery problems and maintain an appropriate record of the request;

· information used for the one-time book-release notification is retained until the notification is sent or you withdraw your consent, whichever occurs first;

· limited consent and suppression information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate your recorded choice and ensure that no unwanted notification is sent;

· website form records and email copies are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above; and

· cookie and analytics information is retained for the periods specified by the relevant cookie or service provider.

When information is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised unless retention is required by law.
