HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
We offer secure web pages to collect certain kinds of user information and we store certain kinds of data in encrypted form. We follow reasonable technical and management practices to help protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by our Site reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.

 

HOW LONG DO WE KEEP USER INFORMATION?
We keep user data on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it, although we may alter this practice according to changing requirements. For example, we may delete some data if needed to free up storage space. We may keep other data for longer periods should the law require it.

Data management requests are administered in an orderly manner to the extent feasible and within our direct control. Note: we have greater control over recently collected data than for archived data. Once data is removed from the system and archived, it may not be feasible to accommodate specific requests. In those cases, our general data retention policy applies.

 

DO YOU SHARE MY PERSONAL DATA WITH OTHER COMPANIES?
We do NOT share your contact details with other companies. The only exception to this is where you enter a competition, win a prize and that prize is fulfilled by a third party company. At that point we will write to you via email to inform you that you have won the prize. We will also ask for your consent to pass your contact details to the third party company so that they can fulfil the prize. At that stage you have the option of not giving this consent, in which case we will choose another winner, as the third party will not be able to fulfil the prize without your contact details.

 

LEGAL NOTICE
This Site operates on an "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" basis, without liability of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. This Policy is governed by the laws of the United Kingdom.
