We are committed to safeguarding
the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your
personal information.
(1) What information do we
collect?
We may collect, store and use the
following kinds of personal data:
(a) Information about your visits
to and use of services on this website;
(b) Information about any
transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation to this website,
including information relating to any purchases you make of our goods or
services;
(c) Information that you provide to
us for the purpose of registering with us and/or subscribing to our website
services and/or email notifications;
(2) Information about website
visits
We may collect information about
your computer and your visits to this website such as your IP address,
geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number
of page views. We may use this information in the administration of this
website, to improve the website’s usability, and for marketing
purposes.
We use cookies on this website. A
cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the
browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser
requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and
track the web browser.
We may send a cookie which may be
stored on by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the
information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to
improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that
information to recognise your computer when you visit our website, and to
personalise our website for you.
Most browsers allow you to refuse
to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookie
by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all
cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact
upon the usability of many websites including ours. It will, of course, do no
damage if you delete our cookie after the completion of your visit to our
website.
(3) Using your personal
data
Personal data submitted on this
website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in
relevant parts of the website.
In addition to the uses identified
elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may use your personal information
to:
(a) Improve your browsing
experience by personalising the website and to connect or correlate one usage of
our website with another usage at another time;
(b) Send information (other than
marketing communications) to you which we think may be of interest to you by
post or by email or similar technology;
(c) Send to you very occasional
marketing communications relating to our business which we think may be of
interest to you by post, email or similar technology. You can inform us at any
time if you no longer require marketing communications to be sent to you by
replying to any of our emails after having changed the subject to
‘Unsubscribe’;
(d) Provide other companies with
statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used
to identify any individual user.
We will not without your express
consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose
of direct marketing.
(4) Other disclosures
In addition to the disclosures
reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this privacy
policy, we may disclose information about you:
(a) To the extent that we are
required to do so by law;
(b) In connection with any legal
proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) In order to establish, exercise
or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the
purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and
(d) To the purchaser or seller (or
prospective purchaser or seller) of any business or asset which we are (or are
contemplating) selling or purchasing.
Except as provided in this privacy
policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) International data
transfers
Information that we collect may be
stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we
operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this
privacy policy.
Information which you provide may
also be transferred to and stored for business purposes within the countries in
the European Union.
(6) Security of your personal
data
We will take reasonable precautions
to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Of
course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we
cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
We will store all the personal
information you provide on our secure servers. All electronic transactions in
which you communicate your personal information to our website will be encrypted
using SSL technology.
From time to time we will give you
an id and password with which to access information about items that you have
ordered from us. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We
will not ask you for your password.
(7) Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy
from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this
page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
(8) Your rights
You may instruct us to provide you
with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information
may be subject to the payment of a fee.
(9) Third party websites
Our website may contain links to
other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of third party
websites.
