Privacy policy

According to a recent EU Directive - ‘Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011′, known as the EU Cookie Law, we need to ask you for permission to use cookies. These are small pieces of information which are stored on your computer and sent to the webserver with each request.

The updated Directive came into force on 26 May 2011, which means all EU countries should have brought the new requirements over cookie usage into law.  The UK government has deferred the new directive requirements for a year while they try to work out a common sense way for UK businesses to comply with the updated Directive requirements.   A full explanation of ‘cookies’ can be found at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/

If and when this becomes law, you may see a pop up with these words on every site you visit and will have to install a cookie opt-in your-self.  At present this site does not use the pop up, but will as soon as the law is set.

In the meantime, please scroll down and read about how we use cookies.  You can also go to your control panel, internet options and privacy and set the way you want your computer to work with cookies.

We will only use your personal information in a way that is fair to you. We will only collect information where it is necessary for us to do so and we will only collect information if it is relevant to our dealings with you.

We will only keep your information for as long as we are either required to by law, or as is relevant for the purposes for which it was collected.

In addition, we may use that information to collect payment from you, to enable you to subsequently use parts of the Website, to detect any fraud or Website abuses, to send you information relevant to the company, or the Website, in case there is any servicing required and in case we have any queries.

We may also use your email address that you initially submit to us to send you an email with information about Judi Williams and to enable you to commence using the Webservice.

We may also use your data to send you feedback forms to complete about our services.

We may further collect (or allocate to you and you may change) a username and password to use restricted parts of the Website. We use that to enable you or anyone you represent or who represents you to access your restricted parts on the Website.

You must only submit to us, or the Website, information which is accurate and not misleading and you must keep it up to date and inform us of changes.

Third Parties and Links

We may pass your details to our agents and subcontractors to help us with any of our uses of your data set out in our Privacy Policy. For example, we may use third parties to assist us with providing the administration for running the Website, to assist with the verification facility, to enable us to collect payments from you, to analyse data and to provide us with marketing or customer service assistance.

We may exchange information with third parties for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

We may transfer our databases containing your personal information if we sell our business or part of it.

We may also disclose your details as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.

Other than as set out in this Privacy Policy, we shall NOT sell or disclose your personal data to third parties without obtaining your prior consent unless this is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or unless we are required to do so by law.

The Website may contain advertising of third parties, dedicated pages operated by third parties and links to other Websites or frames of other Websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties or other Websites, nor for any third party to whom we transfer your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Security

We have in place appropriate technical and security measures to prevent unauthorised or unlawful access to or accidental loss of or destruction or damage to your information.

We store your personal details on a secure server. We use firewalls on our servers. When you send your payment card details through the Website, we use encryption by using Secure Website Certificate technology. Whilst we are unable to guarantee 100% security, this makes it hard for a hacker to decrypt your details.

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of your information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

You are responsible for protecting against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer.

Cookies

The Website uses cookies. Cookies are tiny text files which identify your computer to our server as a unique user when you visit certain pages on the Website and they are stored by your Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies can be used to recognise your Internet Protocol address, saving you time while you are on, or want to enter, the Website. We only use cookies for your convenience in using the Website (for example to remember who you are when you want to amend your data without having to re-enter your username and password) and not for obtaining or using any other information about you (for example targeted advertising). Your browser can be set to not accept cookies, but this would restrict your use of the Website and may prevent us from providing the full range of facilities to you through the Website. Please accept our assurance that our use of cookies does not contain any personal or private details and are free from viruses. Please take steps to amend your browser to screen cookies so that you only accept relevant cookies.

Changes

Any material changes to the way in which we use your data will be described in future versions of this Privacy Policy. Each time you submit data to us, enter the Website, use the Webservice, or upload material onto the Website, you agree that the Privacy Policy current at that time shall apply to all information which we hold about you.

Consent

By submitting data to us and using the Website, you consent to our use of your data and of anyone you represent in the manner set out in this Privacy Policy (as amended) and you are responsible for ensuring that you have authority to consent on behalf of anyone about whom you submit data to us.
