Privacy policy ×

This explains the practices of Fieldsports Press Limited in collecting and using your information. We are committed to respecting and safeguarding your personal information data. We collect various types of your personal information through your use of our websites to process your requests and orders and because it helps us to understand your needs and shapes the way in which we interact and communicate with you about our products and services now and in the future. We have policies and procedures in place to protect your data when you send it to us, when we process it in order to provide you with the services you have requested or, where you have given us your permission to do so, to send you information that we think you'll find interesting, and thereafter when we store your data on our secure servers. Fieldsports Press Limited will be the Data Controller of any personal data we collect about you and we are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.



What personal data do we collect?

Fieldsports Press Limited collects both Personal Data and Anonymous Data when you send us information or when you visit one of our websites, order products, enter competitions, subscribe to our magazines, complete surveys or post comments on our forums or social media platforms. When we talk about Personal Data we mean any information that can identify you as an individual, such as your name and postal address. Anonymous Data doesn't identify you as a person but it might be used in aggregate, for instance when you participate in a survey.



How do we keep it secure?

Our data servers are protected and our staff will treat your data with respect and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. When we ask another organisation to provide a service for us, we ensure that they have appropriate security measures in place. The internet is not a totally secure medium and you acknowledge and agree that Fieldsports Press Limited shall not be responsible for unauthorised use, distribution, damage or destruction of personal data, except to the extent that we are required to accept such responsibility.



How do we collect and use your Personal Data?

We collect your details when you register on one of our websites; subscribe to our e-newsletter service; place an order on our website; search for a product; correspond with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise; participate in forums or other social media functions on our website, enter a competition or promotion.



With regard to each of your visits to our websites we may automatically collect the following information:

• technical information, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform;

• information about your visit, including the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream to, through and from our site (including date and time); products you viewed or searched for; page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page and any phone number used to call our customer service number.



We will be transparent about how we plan to use your data so that you have the choice whether or not to give it to us. We respect your preferences and will do our best to make sure that we keep our promises.



If you give us your consent to send you further marketing messages we may contact you from time-to-time with carefully selected offers and promotions from ourselves or from our network of carefully selected partners, from which you may always opt-out or unsubscribe. It is not our practice to contact you if you have made it clear that you do not wish to hear from us about our products and services.



We may need to authenticate your identity to provide you with access to subscriber-only services. We might also send you surveys or invite you to enter a competition or receive a newsletter, for instance. If you do not wish to participate you may simply decline our invitations.

COOKIE POLICY

Cookies and other technologies: We use, and allow certain other companies to use, cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies on our websites, applications and communications. We do this to understand your use of our services, improve your user experience and enable personalised features and content; optimise our advertising and marketing and to enable third party advertising companies to assist us in serving you advertisements specific to your interests across the internet. Please see ‘How to manage or refuse cookies and similar technologies’ for more information. You can find more detailed information about these technologies at:

www.aboutcookies.org

www.allaboutcookies.org



What are ‘cookies’?

A cookie is a small text file that we, and in certain circumstances third parties, place on your browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Safari) when you visit our websites or open some of our emails. Cookies are useful because, amongst other things, they allow us to recognise you each time you re-visit one of our websites. The entity that places cookies on your browser can then read the information on the cookie that it set.



Cookies are typically classified as either "session cookies" which do not stay on your device after you close your browser or "persistent cookies" which will usually remain on your device until you delete them or they expire.



How we and third parties use cookies

We use cookies that are essential in order to enable you to move around our websites and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of the websites. Without these cookies, services that you have asked for like shopping baskets cannot be provided.



Some cookies, however, whilst useful, are not essential, and we require your consent before we can use these cookies. By continuing to browse on our Fieldsports Press Limited websites you agree to the use of these non-essential cookies unless you specifically set your browser to reject them. Please see ‘How to manage or refuse cookies and similar technologies’ below for further details on your choices.



Different cookies are used to perform different functions, which we explain below. A visit to any Fieldsports Press Limited website may generate the following types of cookie:



Site performance cookies

We use cookies to remember your selections on our websites

These cookies allow us to remember choices you make on our websites and provide enhanced, more personalised features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Analytics cookies

We use cookies for performance and analytics purposes

We use our own cookies and/or third-party cookies and other identifiers (such as web beacons) to see how you use our websites and services in order to enhance their performance and develop them according to the preferences of our customers and visitors. For example, cookies and web beacons may be used to: test different designs and to ensure that we maintain a consistent look and feel across our websites; recognise repeat visitors, track and provide trend analysis on how our users interact with our websites and communications; track errors and measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.

The information collected from these types of cookies may be used in conjunction with other information we or our third party partners hold in order to record specific browsing information (for example, regarding the way visitors arrive at our websites, pages viewed, options selected, information entered and the path taken through our websites but is generally not used to identify you individually). The data collected will generally be aggregated to provide trends and usage patterns for business analysis, site/platform improvement and performance metrics and to inform our advertising and marketing strategies. Our cookies, or the resulting analysis, may also be shared with our business partners. We may also receive similar information about visitors to our group company and other partner websites.

Advertising cookies

We use cookies to personalise your experience and for targeted advertising purposes

We use cookies (and allow data management platform providers to use cookies on our behalf) to collect information about your browsing habits across our websites in order to provide personalised content, services and communications as well as targeted advertising on our websites, websites operated by our group companies and selected partner websites. For example, we may show you adverts for Scottish Sporting Gazette magazine if we know you have been browsing the Scottish pages on our websites. If you use more than one device or computer on a regular basis, we may link cookies together so you will still receive a personalised online experience. We can also personalise the information you see based on what we already know about you, so that you spend less time looking for things. With the use of cookies, each visitor to our site can have a web experience, which is unique to them.

Cookies may also be linked with other information we hold or infer about you for these purposes. For example, if you are a registered user or provide us with your name, email address, social media log-in details or other contact information (e.g. by entering a competition or signing up to our newsletter) or interact with our email communications (e.g. by clicking on links within the emails), this information may be linked with your browsing activity across all your devices to tailor content, services, advertising and offers for you.

You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on our websites by blocking these cookies as described below in the section on ‘How to manage or refuse cookies and similar technologies’.

Third party advertising cookies

We also permit advertisers, ad network providers and ad serving companies to place cookies on our websites to allow them to show you advertisements both on and off our websites that are more relevant and useful to you. However, we do not share any information with these third parties that will directly identify you, although these third parties may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalised advertisement or content are part of the group that the advertisement or content is directed towards. The third parties that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies and we have no access to read or write these cookies.

Social media cookies

Cookies may also be used when you share information using a social media-sharing button on the websites. The social network will record that you have done this. This information may be linked to targeting/advertising activities. The types of cookies used by these third parties and how they use the information generated by them will be governed by those companies’ privacy policies. For information on how to opt out of targeting advertising, please go to ‘How to manage or refuse cookies and similar technologies’ below.

How we and third parties use web beacons

We may use and permit selected third parties to use web beacons (usually in combination with cookies) to compile aggregate information about your website usage and your interaction with email and other communications to measure performance and to provide content and advertisements that are more relevant to you. A web beacon (also called a web bug, clear GIF or pixel tag) can be embedded in online content, videos and emails, and allows a server to read certain types of information from your device, to know when you have viewed the beacon and the IP address of your device. The type of information collected includes, but is not limited to, information relating to advertising responses, page views, promotion views and purchases made. We will include web beacons in some of our promotional email messages and newsletters to determine whether the messages have been opened or acted upon and whether our mailing tools are working correctly. The web beacons may be used to recognise cookies generated by third parties and inform us and/or third parties of which advertisement or link brought you to our website, allowing us to monitor the efficacy of our business relationships with third parties.

How to manage or refuse cookies and similar technologies

Cookies

If you do not want your browser to accept cookies and use them in the ways described above it is possible to change your browser settings. It is also possible to delete existing cookies from your browser. However, blocking all cookies will affect your web experience and may result in some parts of Fieldsports Press Limited websites not functioning properly. Some cookies are designed to help save you time, for example, by remembering your contact details when you are making an order for the second time so that you will not have to complete the contact section again unless your details have changed.

For general information about cookies and their use, please visit: www.aboutcookies.org

Alternatively, you can turn off third party cookies relating to interest based advertising by visiting www.youronlinechoices.eu. However, this will not opt you out of receiving adverts altogether – it simply means that the adverts will not be targeted to you. Please note that there are many more networks listed on this site than we use on our websites.

Web beacons

As web beacons are the same as any other content request included in the recipe for a web page, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, you may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by not downloading images contained in messages you receive (this feature varies depending on the email software used on your personal computer). However, doing this may not always disable a web beacon or other tracking technologies in the email message due to specific email software capabilities. For more information about this, please refer to the information provided by your email software or service provider. Web beacons may also be rendered ineffective in some circumstances by opting out of cookies or amending your cookie settings in your browser. Further details on web beacons, and how to manage them, can be found here: www.allaboutcookies.org/faqs/beacons.html

If you have any other queries about our use of cookies, you can contact us at the address above.

1.3 You should always read these General Terms together with the Specific Terms. If any Specific Terms conflict with these General Terms, the Specific Terms will take precedence.

1.4 We may change these General Terms at any time so you should check this page regularly for any changes. Changes will apply from the date that they are published on this page.

1.5 By entering any Competition you are accepting that you will be legally bound by these General Terms and the applicable Specific Terms.

1.6 We recommend you print or save a copy of these General Terms for future reference during the Competition.

2. THE PROMOTER OF EACH COMPETITION

2.1 The "Promoter" of a Competition is the person legally responsible for administering it. For our Competitions this will always be: Fieldsports Press Limited

2.2 Generally, Fieldsports Press Limited will be the Promoter of Competitions administered by our magazines, but if you are unsure you should check who the Promoter is in the Specific Terms.

2.3 If you have any concern in relation to any of our Competitions, you can contact us by:

a. first, contacting the publication which promoted the competition using the contact details provided in the Specific Terms; or

c. if you are not satisfied with the initial response from the publication, please email matt@fieldsportspress.com or write to the relevant Promoter at: Fieldsports Press Limited, 1-6 Buckminster Yard, Buckminster, Grantham, Lincs NG33 5SB. In all correspondence please state the name of the Competition, the name of the print publication or webpage, which promoted it, and (where applicable) details of the initial response.

3. ELIGIBILITY RULES FOR OUR COMPETITIONS

3.1 Unless we impose a particular age limit for a Competition, they are open to all persons aged 18 and over who are resident in the UK at the date of their entry.

3.2 Where Competitions are open to children (aged 15 or younger) and/or young persons (aged 16 or 17), the age requirements will be publicised to entrants in the applicable Specific Terms.

3.3 Certain Competitions may have additional eligibility requirements such as valid passports, visas, driving licences, good physical health etc. All eligibility requirements will be detailed in the applicable Specific Terms

3.4 Whether any eligibility requirement has or has not been met is always at our sole discretion and we may require evidence or confirmation from entrants before awarding prizes.

3.5 Fieldsports Press Limited employees and their immediate families (and the employees of any third party sponsors, prize providers or their immediate families) may not enter any Competition.

4. ENTRY AND ENTRY METHODS

4.1 Premium rates: Some Competitions may be entered by premium rate calls or texts. We will clearly identify when this is the case and the following additional conditions will apply to such Competitions:

a. you should always have the bill payer's permission to enter using a premium rate method;

b. we will always state the amount of any additional cost to your normal cost of calling or texting as accurately as possible. However, network providers may charge varying amounts for these types of call, so the total cost of your call may be more than we state. We encourage you to check with your network provider;

c. invalid or unsuccessful entries made via these methods may still be charged. Entries that are submitted before lines open or after lines close will not be entered in the Competition but you may still be charged for your call or text

d. where entry is by telephone, entries that are submitted before lines open or after lines close will not be entered in the Competition but we cannot guarantee that entrants will not be charged for the call or text made.

e. where a Competition asks you to enter using SMS, you need to have a compatible phone and be using a network provider that permits text messages to our premium rate number. SMS entries are deemed to be received on arrival, not when they are sent from your handset. SMS entries must be sent to the correct number or short code and must include the correct keywords or other answer format set out in the Specific Terms. Entries, which fail to do, so will be invalid; we will always comply with the Phone-paid Services Authority (“PSA”) code of conduct in relation to premium rate competitions. PSA is the UK regulator of premium rate services and you can access their details here: http://psauthority.org.uk/for-consumers. Any data collected from entrants by PSA may be used by PSA for regulatory purposes.

4.3 Online Giveaway Competitions:

are free to enter. You simply need to visit one of our participating websites and enter by following the on-screen instructions. You will be asked to give your email address and then click onto the ‘Enter This Giveaway’ button to enter the competition. Multiple entries are accepted for giveaway competitions on these giveaway sites. You will be asked to complete a question before entering your email address - this helps us to ensure that entries received are from true competition lovers and not from computer generated programmes otherwise known as 'robots.' We reserve the right to offer multiple giveaways simultaneously on our various websites. There is a limit of one (1) entry per person and/or email address per day, per URL on which the Online Giveaway is displayed. Online Giveaway Competitions are open to residents of the UK (including Channel Islands &Eire).



4.4 Deficient entries: In all Competitions, we reserve the right to reject any entries that are incomplete, incomprehensible, damaged or otherwise deficient. We also reserve the right to reject entries that are unlawful, indecent, racist, inflammatory, defamatory or which we consider to be otherwise harmful. We accept no responsibility for any late, lost or misdirected entries including but not limited to texts, calls or emails not received due to technical disruptions, network congestion, loss in service of online entry mechanisms, computer error in transit or any other reason. Proof of posting of any postal entry will not be proof of our receipt of that entry. We cannot enter into correspondence with entrants who experience difficulties with entering online.



4.5 Automated Entry: The use of any automated entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits any person to enter any Competition repeatedly is prohibited.



4.6 Names: Entrants must enter Competitions using their legal name once only. We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant who uses multiple names and to require them to return any prize they may have won.



4.7 Multiple Entries: Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the applicable Specific Terms or unless it is an Online Giveaway Competition, no person may enter any Competition more than once and persons may not enter or participate as part of a syndicate or on behalf of any other person, syndicate, group, society or company. If we suspect that an individual has set up a fake email address and/or social media page to circumvent this rule, we reserve the right to disqualify all entries that we reasonably believe were generated by that individual.



4.8 Prize Limits: There is no limit on the value of a single prize that may be provided to the individual winners of a Competition. However, no person or persons at the same residential address may win more than one prize valued at £500 or more via any of our Competitions in any six (6) month period.



4.9 Retrospective Effect: Where an entrant or prize winner has been found to be in breach of any of the terms and conditions of a Competition and in particular where a person is in breach of the entry restrictions set out in paragraphs 4.6 to 4.9 above, we may still enforce our right to disqualify that person and require the return or reimbursement to us of any prize even where a prize has been awarded and/or actually provided to the entrant or prize winner in question.



4.10 Inappropriate Behaviour: We reserve the right to disqualify an entrant, or to refuse or withdraw a Prize, if an entrant or a winner threatens or abuses one of our employees, or otherwise conducts themselves in a manner that we reasonably regard as inappropriate, offensive or unlawful.



5. PRIZES

5.1 We reserve the right (when reasonably required to do so) to replace the stated prizes with prizes that we consider to be of broadly equivalent value. We offer no cash alternative for non-cash prizes and prizewinners must accept prizes in the form offered. Where a prize is won by a person younger than 18, we reserve the right to award the prize to the prize winner's parent or guardian on behalf of the prize winner.



5.2 All prizewinners will be notified that they have won a prize within twenty eight (28) days of the closing date of the Competition via at least one of the following methods:

a. by telephone;

b. by email;

c. in writing;



5.3 Prizes will be despatched to the winners via the UK mail service, unless otherwise stated. We will not be liable for any prizes, which are lost, delayed, or damaged in the post for reasons beyond our reasonable control. Further details will be set out in the Specific Terms and/or given to winners when they are notified that they’ve won.



5.4 Prizes will only be delivered to an address within the UK. Should a prizewinner's contact details change, it is their responsibility to notify us or the contact person(s) detailed in the Competition’s Specific Terms.



5.5 We reserve the right to request proof of a prize winner's identity in the form of a passport or driver’s licence and proof of address in the form of a utility bill. In the event that a prizewinner cannot provide us with proof of identity and/or address that is reasonably acceptable to us, we may withdraw the prize and select another prizewinner.



5.6 All prizes are subject to availability, non-transferable and non-exchangeable. Where prizes consist of entry tickets, attendance at events, holidays and similar time-specific benefits, they must be taken on the dates specified by us (or any relevant third party provider). Prizewinners will forfeit any element of their prize that they do not take at the time stipulated in the Specific Terms. No cash will be awarded in lieu of that prize or any part of it.



5.7 Any tax or other charges payable as a result of a prize being awarded or received will be the responsibility of the winner. Winners should seek independent financial advice prior to accepting a prize if this is a concern.



5.8 We make no representation or warranty in relation to prizes provided and to the fullest extent permitted by law we shall have no liability to you in relation to any prize, its fitness for purpose, merchantability or otherwise. We reserve the right to disqualify entrants from entering our Competitions or prizewinners from receiving their prizes where any such person engages in unsafe, illegal, unsociable or inappropriate behaviour.



5.9 All stated prize values are at the supplier's recommended retail price in pounds sterling and are, to the best of our knowledge and belief, correct at the time of printing. We take no responsibility for any fluctuations in prize values. We award cash prizes in the form of a cheque in the name of the prizewinner. Any other arrangement will be at our discretion.



5.10 No additional, further or other costs or expenses are included in any prize unless stated. For example, the costs of transport to and from a venue for an event are not included and any accommodation prize includes basic room charge only.



5.11 Third party suppliers of prizes may also often stipulate their own terms; conditions or restrictions and all prizewinners agree to be bound by these. Subject to paragraph 19.2, Fieldsports Press Limited shall have no liability in relation to any prize provided by a third party provider.



6. HOLIDAY PRIZES

6.1 Due to their complexity, these additional terms apply to holiday prizewinners and (if the holiday is for the prize winner 'plus guest(s)') any travelling companion that accompanies the prizewinner on the holiday as their "Guest".



6.2 Unless otherwise stated in the Specific Terms, holiday prizes:

a. do not include insurance. It will be the responsibility of each prize winner (and, if applicable, each Guest that accompanies them) to take out at his or her own cost all relevant insurance (including but not limited to health and travel insurance, insurance for theft, loss and damage to property), which may be required or prudent to obtain;

b. consist of flights and accommodation only and do not include airport departure or government taxes, spending money, airport transfers or other expenses. These must be paid by the prize winner (and their Guests);

c. must be taken within six (6) months of the closing date of the relevant Competition or the prize will lapse; and

d. are also usually subject to the prize provider's terms and conditions, which will apply to the prize winner (and their Guests) as well.



6.3 It is the responsibility of the prize winner (and, if applicable, each Guest that accompanies them) to ensure their ability to travel to their holiday destination and return home and, in particular, to:

a. ensure that they have a valid passport endorsed with all relevant visas and with expiry date no less than six (6) months following the proposed dates of travel or such other duration as may be required by any relevant regulation.
