IP ADDRESSES
We may collect information about your computer, including your IP address, operating system, and browser type, for system maintenance and administration; and where appropriate to report aggregate statistical information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and habits and does not identify you as an individual.
COOKIES
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you as a unique user of our website. This helps us to improve your experience as a user and to identify ways in which the site might be improved. For more information on the cookies, we use and how we use them see our Cookie policy.
PERSONAL DATA STORAGE
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a location outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by individuals operating outside the EEA who work for us or a supplier or sub-contractor. Such individuals may be engaged in, amongst other activities, the fulfillment of orders, the processing of payments, or the provision of support services. By submitting your data, you agree to these activities in transferring, storing, or processing your data. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and under this privacy policy.
All personal data you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are solely responsible for keeping this password confidential and we require that you do not share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site, and any transmission is at your own risk. Having received your data, we shall look to follow strict procedures and security features to do as much as possible to minimize the risk of any unauthorized access.
USES MADE OF THE INFORMATION
We use information supplied by you in the following ways:
· To ensure that content on our site is presented most effectively.
· To provide you with information, products, or services that you request from us or which we feel may be of interest to you, but only if you have consented to be contacted in this way.
· To carry out our obligations to you in the event of your purchasing goods or services.
· To allow you to participate in interactive features of our site.
· To notify you about changes to our services.
We may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to use your data, to provide you with information about goods and services that may be of interest to you, and we or they may contact you about these by post or telephone; but only if you have given your permission for us to use your data in this way.
If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means (e-mail or text) with information about goods and services similar to those which you have previously purchased.
If you are a new customer, and where we permit selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.
If you do not want us to use your data in this way, or to pass your details on to third parties for marketing purposes, please indicate this by completing the relevant option as shall be given to you on our site.
We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users; and may use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers’ wishes by displaying their advertisements to that target audience.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group from time to time, which means any subsidiary, or any ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
· If we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
· If either we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by our customers will be one of the transferred assets.
· If we are under a duty to disclose or share your data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, safety, and that of our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
