Privacy Policy

Use of your Data

The Competition Grape Vine will never sell your data or give it to anyone not directly connected with the production and distribution of Grape Vine.

If you are a subscriber, your information is stored for the durationof your subscription and for 6 months after it ends - this is to make it easier to reactivate your subscription should you decide to resubscribe.

If you enter a competition on the website or blog, your information is stored for one month after the competition closes. This is in case the winner does not respond or declines the prize, to facilitate redrawing. After this period, your information is destroyed.

If you request a sample copy of Grape Vine, your name and address ONLY (no email or telephone info) are retained indefinitely. This is because free copies are limited to one per household and I need to be able to check whether any previous requests have been made.

As for cookies..... well. this blog is hosted by Google and I've searched high and low for some way of  finding out what cookies are used and for what purpose, and what I can do about it - but I've drawn a blank. So all I can say is that  therre are no cookies used for my own purpose, and that the blog is presumably covered by a blanket Privacy Policy of Google's.

If anyone has any advice or hints about cookies it would be greatly appreciated!
