Here is a list of the information we collect from you, through our website or that which you have shared with us. We have also stated it below as to why is it essential to collect this information.
When we obtain information from you, specifically to enable you to use or buy a service offered on our website by some other person, we assume that in giving us your information, you are also giving us your consent to pass it on to the relevant person.
Your domain name and email address are recognised by our servers and the pages that you have visited
are recorded.
We shall not under any circumstances divulge your email address to any person who is not an employee
or contractor of
ours and who does not need to know, either generally or specifically.
Information that you share with us by posting on a forum or blog is stored on our servers. We do not specifically make use of that information, except for allowing it to be read online. However, you will see it in our terms and conditions that we reserve a right to use it in any way we prefer.
We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about the pages you have visited and how you have reach them, your activity on the pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, as well as our performance in providing the right content to you.
This information is never recorded or stored by us either through our website or by any other means. At the checkpoint of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of WorldPay/ SagePay/ PayPal/ MoneyBookers/ Stripe or some other reputable payment service provider. That page may be dressed in our ‘livery’, however, it is not controlled by us. Our staff and contractors never have access to it in any case.
Many companies offer certification and an icon or other small graphic to prove it to the site visitors that the website is safe to visit or share information. The certifications vary as per the level of safety. We do not handle or process any information related to your credit card, so we do not have the need to subscribe to any such service. However, we suggest that you assess this notice to acknowledge that your privacy is a matter of prime concern for us.
When you have agreed to set up a direct debit arrangement, the information you provide us is
directly conveyed to our
bank to process the transaction. We do keep a copy for our records.
We are registered under the
Direct Debit Guarantee
Scheme. This provides instructions for the customer's bank to refund disputed payments without any
question, while postponing
any further investigation. Direct debits can only be set up for payments to the beneficiaries that
are approved as ‘originators’
of direct debits. In order to be approved, these beneficiaries are subjected to careful vetting
procedures. Once approved,
they are required to give indemnity guarantees through their banks.
To assist in combatting and preventing fraud, we share information with credit reference agencies, as far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having provided a prior notice to us, stating a reason and given us the opportunity to refund their money.
This includes all information shared with us in the course of your business with us. It includes
information provided
by you in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the
information and of the terms
of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect it from you to reciprocate this
policy.
We
store the information that forms a part of our business record for a minimum of six years. That is
because we may need
it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. This is also the period within which our tax
collecting authorities
may demand to know it.
