If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will add your name and email address to the Scholastic Publishing Group' newsletter mailing list. Subscribers receive one general Scholastic Publishing Group 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 do we send an extra mail out to impart news or announce events.
By subscribing to the newsletter or contacting us, you are consenting to the processes described on this page. The legal basis is GDPR 6(1)(a)—Consent of the data subject.
Every newsletter contains a quick and easy unsubscribe link in its footer. When you unsubscribe from a newsletter, your details remain on the list of past recipients. This is a measure to prevent circumstances such as a staff member accidentally manually re-adding you.
However, provided you are still a subscriber when you contact us, your details can be permanently removed from the list upon request. Please get in touch if you would like this to happen.
You may contact us at any time to ask to see what personal data we hold about you. Please contact us to request this.
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 keep 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.
If you believe we have mishandled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office, but contact us first so that we can try to help.
