Privacy Policy

So that you can use this website's services and information with confidence, we set out our privacy policy below to protect your rights. Please read it carefully:

1. Scope of this privacy policy

This policy covers how we handle the personally identifiable information collected while you use the services on this website. It does not apply to linked websites outside this site, nor to people who are not commissioned by or involved in managing this website.

2. How personal data is collected, processed and used

• When you purchase our products, we will ask you for the personal data necessary for the business or activity in question, and will process and use that data only within that specific purpose. Without your written consent, this website will not use your personal data for any other purpose.
• When you use interactive features such as the service mailbox or questionnaires, this website retains the name, email address, contact details and time of use that you provide.
• During ordinary browsing, the server automatically records activity including the IP address of the device you connect from, the time of use, the browser used, and records of pages browsed and links clicked. This is used as a reference for improving our service, is for internal use only, and is never published externally.
• To provide an accurate service, we compile and analyse the questionnaire responses we collect. The resulting statistics and accompanying text are used for internal research and, where necessary, published - but never in a form that involves the data of any specific individual.

3. Protection of your data

• This website is hosted on a dedicated VPS server protected by a firewall, anti-virus systems and other information security equipment and safeguards, to protect both the site and your personal data. Only authorised personnel may access your personal data, and everyone handling it has signed a confidentiality agreement; anyone breaching that duty will face the relevant legal consequences.
• Where business needs require us to commission another organisation to provide a service, this website will likewise require strict compliance with confidentiality obligations, and will carry out the checks needed to confirm that they are observed.

4. Links to external sites

Pages on this website provide links to other websites, and you may follow those links to reach them. Those linked sites are not covered by this website's privacy policy, and you should refer to the privacy policy of the site concerned.

5. Policy on sharing personal data with third parties

This website will never provide, exchange, rent out or sell your personal data to any other individual, group, private enterprise or public authority, except in the following circumstances:

• With your written consent.
• Where expressly required by law.
• To avert danger to your life, person, freedom or property.
• Where we work with a public authority or an academic research institution and disclosure is necessary for statistical or academic research in the public interest, provided the data has been processed by the provider, or is disclosed by the collector in a way that makes any specific individual unidentifiable.
• Where your conduct on the site breaches the terms of service, or may damage or obstruct the site and other users' rights, or cause harm to anyone, and the site's administrators determine that disclosing your personal data is necessary in order to identify or contact you, or to take legal action.
• Where it is to your benefit.
• Where this website commissions a supplier to help collect, process or use your personal data, we will properly supervise and manage that supplier or individual.

6. Use of cookies

To provide the best possible service, this website places and reads our cookies on your computer. If you would rather not accept cookies, you can set the privacy level in your browser to high, which will refuse them - though this may stop some features of the site working properly.

7. Amendments to this privacy policy

This website's privacy policy may be amended from time to time as needed, and the amended terms will be posted on the site.
