IP ADDRESSES AND COOKIES
Similar to other commercial
websites, our Website utilises a standard technology called
'cookies' (see the explanation below, 'What Are Cookies?') and web
server logs to collect information about your use of this Website
whether you register with this Website or not.
Information gathered through
cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of
visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the
websites visited just before and just after our Website.
We may collect information about
your computer, including where available, your IP address,
operating system and browser type, for system administration and to
report aggregate information to any third party advertisers on our
Website. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions
and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
We may obtain information about
your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored
on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information
that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to
improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalised
service.
We, any third party advertisers on
our website and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of
code called 'web beacons' or 'clear gifts' to determine which
advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users
responded to them.
Please note that any third party
advertisers on our Website may also use cookies, over which we have
no control.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a very small text
document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When
you visit a website, that site's computer asks your computer for
permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive
specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it,
unless (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a
website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the
cookies sent to you by other sites.
We use cookies to record
information about a user's access to this Website. Users may view
the Website without the use of cookies by leaving the Website,
disabling cookies in their Internet browser and re-entering the
Website, but this may limit access to this Website or the
functionality of certain Web pages within the Website.
Use of this Website without
disabling cookies constitutes consent to us collecting and using
information obtained from cookies.
HOW DO WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM COOKIES?
As you browse on our Website, the
Website uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users in
order to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or
requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our
web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number
of people visiting our Website and which parts of the Website are
most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order constantly to
improve our Website and better serve our customers. Cookies do not
allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not
generally store any personal information that you provided to us in
your cookies.
HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US?
We use your Information in the
following ways:
- to ensure that content from our Website is presented in the
most effective manner for you and your computer;
- to notify you about any changes to our service;
- if you have given your consent by 'opting in' at the point of
registration on our Website, to contact you with information about
products, services and special offers that you request from us, or
that we feel may be of interest to you or to ask you to participate
in one of our customer satisfaction surveys; and
- we may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to
use your data, to provide you with information about goods and
services which may be of interest to you and we or they may contact
you about these by post or telephone.
If you are an existing customer, we
will only contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with
information about goods and services similar to those which were
the subject of a previous sale to you.
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.
We do not disclose information
about identifiable individuals to any third party advertisers on
our Website, but we may provide them with aggregate information
about Our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged
under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We
may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach
the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in
SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from
you to enable us to comply with the wishes of any third party
advertisers on our Website by displaying their advertisement to
that target audience.
You have the right to ask us not to
process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually
inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your
data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information
to any carefully selected third party for such purposes. You can
exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain
boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also
exercise the right at any time by contacting us or by writing to us
at the address at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We maintain the highest standards
of security, encrypting your information using Secure Sockets Layer
SSL, 128 bit encryption services ( pages utilising this technology
will have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP), however,
even with this the transmission of information via the internet is
not completely secure. So, whilst we will do our best to protect
your Information, We cannot ensure the security of your data
transmitted to our Website. Any transmission is at your own risk.
Once we have received your Information we will use strict
procedures and security features, storing your information on our
secure servers to prevent unauthorised access.
Email is not recognised as a secure
medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do
not send private information to us by email.
Where we have given you (or where
you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain
parts of Our website, you are responsible for keeping this password
confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Please contact us if you have any
questions or concerns.
HOW CAN YOU ACCESS AND CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION?
The Act gives you the right to
access information held about You. Your right of access can be
exercised in accordance with the Act. Any access request may be
subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with the
details of information we hold about you.
