Email addresses: The Derbyshire Writers' Guild message boards require that users submit an e-mail adress in order to register. Those e-mail addresses are only accessible by the DWG administrators and moderators. They will never be sold or shared with any third party.

Cookies: The message boards use cookies to recognize registered users and to display the message boards according to saved preferences. The cookies expire 30 days after the last time users have accessed the message boards. To learn more about cookies and how to remove them from your computer, see AboutCookies.org.

Tracking information: Austen.com uses Google-Analytics on several pages to analyze incoming web traffic and to understand how the web site is used. The cookies used by Google for monitoring traffic can be removed by following instructions available on AboutCookies.org.

IP addresses: The Austen.com server and message boards record IP addresses and produce server logs, but that data is only accessible to the web site administrators and moderators. We do not use the information to track specific visitors to the site, except for very rare cases of offensive messages posted on the message boards. The administrators may block IP addresses used to post offensive material.

These policies apply to material on Austen.com and Dwiggie.com. If you have any questions or concerns about how personal information is retained and handled, please contact Crysty (crysty.janeite@gmail.com).
