The mutual benefits of privacy

People who respect my right to, and need for, privacy will always be welcome to contact me - if they follow the guidelines as outlined on my home page, on this privacy page, and elsewhere in this website.  I will then respond to those people, as appropriate, in a courteous and timely manner, endeavouring to meet their needs to the best of my ability.


Privacy and the media

Considerately democratic media personnel are most welcome to contact me in writing.  However, much of the information that I wish to make public is already available through the main public pages of this website.  The most useful introductory page for busy media people might be the camaggi.com news page. 

I would appreciate knowing beforehand when information about my work is to be published or broadcast by others.  You can receive a copy of my media policy by following the links on the email page.

Privacy and confidentiality

I would like to be informed before something about me is to be put in any sort of database, and/or when some aspect of my work or life is to be made available online or elsewhere. 

No-one's personal details are disclosed by me to anyone, in any format, unless permission to do so has been provided by that person in writing.  This applies in all cases, unless I am referring to material that has already been responsibly published elsewhere. 

I do not keep any personal information about my correspondents in any electronic form that can be accessed through the internet.  Nor do I have a mailing list of any kind. 


Privacy and communication

When people contact me by post or email, no matter how well we may think we know each other, I respect their privacy. 

If I send a letter or email message, it is usually in response to one that I have received, or it is directly relevant to the work of the person concerned.  For example, if I make a link from camaggi.com to another website, I will attempt, as a courtesy, to contact the person who maintains that website. 

And if I wish to inform anyone about what I am doing, I may send an email message if the recipient's professional or private interests may coincide with my own. 


Privacy and archiving

The archive I am developing will never be available to the general public.  It will only be opened on a restricted basis, from 2025 onwards, mainly for approved historians and other relevant researchers.  An introduction to the archive is on my home page.
Privacy and trust

Trust is a two-way process.  In most cases, I prefer to communicate on paper as I find this to be the most satisfactory way for me to access, compare and analyse information within a limited amount of time. 

My own need for privacy is one of the reasons why I often avoid being available by telephone or in person.  Any personal details about myself that I wish to share with others in a public or communal way is provided in my book, and within the main pages of camaggi.com (not including those requiring a password).

I do not participate in online chatrooms or social networking websites.  Most of my online contact is with people who have initiated contacted with me after visiting camaggi.com.
 

Privacy and passwords

The way people communicate with me provides the basis for deciding whether to offer them the opportunity to visit the password-protected areas of this website.

Any personal information about myself that I may disclose in private correspondence on paper or online, or in conversation, or via a password-protected web page, is to be treated as confidential by the recipient, in all cases, especially as this will reduce the likelihood of misunderstandings.
Privacy and publicity

You will have noticed here that privacy has a positive impact on the productivity of a writer and publisher whose products are often eventually made public.  There is a difference, however, between being a publisher and being a publicist.  The latter role is incompatible with my temperament.

You are welcome to take on an unpaid publicity role for my website, and for any other aspect of my work, as long as you agree to accept my policies and let me know about your efforts.

Results of privacy

Through the implementation of this privacy policy, I aim to build mutual understanding, respect and appreciation between people.  I also hope that the policy will help me to maintain productivity so that I may more effectively support the development of considerate democracy. 

My work will continue as long as this policy is respected.
