Cookies

We use cookies on our Site and in the Services to distinguish you from other users of our Site and Services. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Site and also allows us to improve the Site and Services.  

What are cookies 

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the Site. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies.  

We use persistent cookies and session cookies.  

Persistent Cookies 

A persistent cookie is stored on a user’s device in between browser sessions which allows the preferences or actions of a user across the Site (or in some cases across different websites)  to be remembered. We use persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Site or Services.  

Session Cookies 

A session cookie allows the Site or Services to link your actions during a browser session. We use session cookies to enable certain features of the Site or Services, to better understand how you interact with the Site or Services and to monitor aggregate usage by users and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site or Services and then close your browser.  

Do Not Track

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

International Transfers

Our Services are global and your personal data may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations, our staff is located, or where we engage service providers engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of your order, the processing of your payment details or the provision of support services. This will involve a transfer of your personal data to countries outside of your country of residence, where data protection rules are different from those of your country of residence. 

Processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data to countries outside the  European Economic Area (“EEA“) or the UK.  

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In particular, this means that your personal data will only be transferred to a country that provides an adequate level of protection (for example, where the European Commission or the UK Data Commissioner has determined that a country provides an adequate level of protection) or where the recipient is bound by standard contractual clauses according to conditions provided by the European  Commission (“Standard Contractual Clauses”). 

Our Site and Services are accessible via the internet and may potentially be accessed by anyone around the world. Other users may access the Site or Services from outside the EEA  or the UK. This means that where you chose to post your personal data on our Site or within the Services, it could be accessed from anywhere around the world and therefore a transfer of your personal data outside of the EEA or the UK may be deemed to have occurred.  

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. For example, all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any credit card information or 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 the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share any passwords with anyone. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know.  They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

We have put in place procedures to deal with any personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so. 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure.  Although we will endeavor to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to our Site or the Services. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access. 

Links to Other Websites

Our Site and Services may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers, and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites,  please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites. 

Your Rights

You have the right under Data Protection Law, free of charge, to request:

  • Access to your personal data.  
  • Rectification or deletion of your personal data.
  • A restriction on the processing of your personal data. 
  • Object to the processing of your personal data. 
  • A transfer of your personal data (data portability) in a structured, machine readable and  commonly used format. 
  • Withdraw your consent to us processing your personal data, at any time.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us as set out at the end of this  Privacy Policy. We will respond to such queries within 30 days and deal with requests we receive from you, in accordance with the provisions of Data Protection Law. Occasionally it could take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded,  repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. 

Marketing

  • Marketing: We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form  a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is  how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this  marketing). 
  • Promotional Offers from us: We will send you marketing emails if you “opt in” to receive  marketing emails when registering on our Site, or if you have enquired about, or  purchased any of our goods or services from us and you have not opted out of receiving  such marketing.  
  • Third Party Marketing: We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your  personal data with any third party for marketing purposes. 

Opt-out: Please note that, if you change your mind about being sent marketing emails you can “opt-out” at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any marketing email. Once you “opt-out”, you will no longer receive any marketing emails from us. We will continue to communicate with you regarding your service billing and support via email and where we send push notifications from time to time in order to update you about any service updates, events, and promotions we may be running. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, please disable these in the settings on your device.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was provided or collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax,  accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint, if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you, to comply with law enforcement requests, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, resolve disputes, enforce our legal agreements, or fulfill your request to  “unsubscribe” from further messages from us.  

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount,  nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal,  regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements. 

This will be for as long as we provide access to the Site or Services to you, your account with us remains open or any period set out in any relevant contract you have with us. After you have closed your account or ceased using the Services for a period of at least 60 days, we usually delete personal data. 

We will retain some anonymized information after your account has been closed and we may use this for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. 

Please note: After you have closed your account or deleted information from your account,  any information you have shared with others will remain visible. We do not control data that other users may have copied from the Site or Services. Your profile may continue to be displayed in the services of others (e.g. search engine results) until they refresh their cache.

If you have any complaints about our use of your personal data, please contact us as set out at the end of this Privacy Policy or contact your local data protection supervisory authority.
