Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. Our journal submission system requires a cookie to store a session ID and to facilitate login. This is necessary for use of this facility. This is the only cookie set directly by us.

Our bookshop is powered by WooCommerce, and its functionality depends on several cookies. Details.

Third party cookies

The ‘iFrames’ that display latest content, twitter and facebook posts uses cookies set by power.io and feedroll.com. Other links from our website, such as the Google ‘search WHP’ feature, YouTube video clips and Twitter feeds, also use cookies and may track your browsing behaviour.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Your choice

You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work as expected.

Privacy Statement

The publishers comply with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

We process personal data in a fair and lawful manner, and use it only in the normal activities of our business as publishers.

Business Uses of Personal Data

We, or our agents, process personal data for making sales and purchases, distributing and controlling access to subscription products, and for the normal activities of our business as publishers. 

We do not use personal data for unsolicited marketing, and we do not sell personal data to third parties.

In line with general academic practice, we require articles for publication to show the authors’ names, valid addresses, and preferably email addresses and ORCID identifiers. This data appears in the published article of scholarly record, and there is no option for its removal. When we supply article metadata to third parties, we include authors’ names and ORCID identifiers, but not addresses.

Some of our journals are hosted online by Liverpool University Press (LUP), who also manage our subscription and renewal processes. We may provide personal information to LUP to allow online acccess for subscribers to our journals. Please refer to LUP’s privacy policy regarding the ways they may use your personal data if you subscribe or access content via their site.

Our journal Environmental Values is now published by SAGE on behalf of The White Horse Press. Please refer to SAGE’s privacy policy regarding the ways they may use your personal data if you subscribe to Environmental Values or access content via their site.

Editorial Uses of Personal Data

We provide a journal management system to facilitate processing of submissions by the editors of our journals. This uses the Open Journals System developed by Simon Fraser University, and we follow their recommendations for GDPR compliance. A secure connection to our Online Journal Management System is used to allow authors, editors and reviewers to enter their personal data.

When a visitor creates a user account, the following personal information may be processed and stored:
Salutation; First name*; Middle name; Last name*; Suffix; Username; Gender; Password (encrypted); Email address*; ORCiD ID; Website; Mailing Address; Country; Phone; Fax; Affiliation; Biography; Registration date; Last login date; Locales; Reviewing interests; Role registrations (author, reader, and/or reviewer).
Only the username, first name, last name, email and password fields are required.

This information is stored in the application database. Only the user password is encrypted.

This information is available to the user via their User Profile (and, with the exception of the username and dates, can be edited). System administrators, journal managers, and editors can also access and edit this data (except the username and dates) via the application back end. The data can be downloaded by journal managers in XML format. The data is not otherwise publicly available.

The data collected falls within the scope of the standard functioning of peer-reviewed journals. Personal data entered in the journal management system will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of the journal and will not be made available for any other purpose or to any other party.

Your Rights

The GDPR mandates the following rights of the individual, which it refers to as the “data subject”: the right to be informed; the right of access; the right to rectification; the right to erasure; the right to restrict processing; the right to data portability; the right to object; the right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling. Any inquiries should be addressed to the Data Controller, The White Horse Press LLP, The Old Vicarage, Winwick, Cambridgeshire, PE28 5PN, UK.
