Privacy Policy
We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors;
this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) This privacy policy
This privacy policy was made using an SEQ Legal privacy policy template created for http://www.employmentlawcontracts.co.uk.
(2) What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) information about your computer and about your visits to
and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical
location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source,
length of visit, page views, and website navigation);
(b) information relating to any transactions carried out
between you and us on or in relation to this website, including
information relating to any purchases you make of our goods or
services);
(c) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us ;
(d) information that you provide to us for the purpose of
subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or
newsletters;
(e) any other information that you choose to send to us.
(3) Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web
browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to
the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This
enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the
website. We will use the session cookies to keep track of you whilst
you navigate the website. We will use the persistent cookies to enable
our website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close
your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer
until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
Our advertisers/payment services providers may also send you cookies.
We publish Google Adsense interest-based advertisements on our
website. These are tailored by Google to reflect your interests. To
determine your interests, Google will track your behaviour across the
web using cookies. You can view, delete or add interest categories
associated with your browser using Google’s Ads Preference Manager,
available at: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. You can opt-out
of the Adsense partner network cookie at:
http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. However, this opt-out mechanism
uses a cookie, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your
opt-out will not be maintained. To ensure that an opt-out is maintained
in respect of a particular browser, you should use the Google browser
plug-in available at: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers
allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet
Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet
Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding
selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact
upon the usability of many websites.
(4) Using your personal information
Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used
for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts
of the website.
We may use your personal information to:
(a) administer the website;
(b) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;
(c) enable your use of the services available on the website;
(d) send to you goods purchased via the website, and supply to you services purchased via the website;
(e) send statements and invoices to you, and collect payments from you;
(f) send you general (non-marketing) commercial communications;
(g) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;
(h) send to you our newsletter and other marketing
communications relating to our business or the businesses of
carefully-selected third parties which we think may be of interest to
you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or
similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer
require marketing communications);
(i) provide third parties with statistical information about our
users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual
user;
(j) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website.
Where you submit personal information for publication on our website,
we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with
the license you grant to us.
We will not without your express consent provide your personal
information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
(5) Disclosures
We may disclose information about you to any of our employees,
officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably
necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.
In addition, we may disclose your personal information:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights
(including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud
prevention and reducing credit risk);
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling; and
(e) to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court
or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information
where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be
reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
(6) International data transfers
Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and
transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to
enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy
policy.
Information which you provide may be transferred to countries
(including the United States, Japan, and other countries) which do not
have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European
Economic Area.
In addition, personal information that you submit for publication on
the website will be published on the internet and may be available, via
the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of
such information by others.
You expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
(7) Security of your personal information
We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to
prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure
(password- and firewall- protected) servers. All electronic transactions
you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently
insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the
internet.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user details
confidential. We will not ask you for your password (except when you log
in to the website).
(8) Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new
version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to
ensure you are happy with any changes.
We may also notify you of changes to our privacy policy by email.
(9) Your rights
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we
hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to:
(a) the payment of a fee (currently fixed at £10.00); and
(b) the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for
this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport
certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill
showing your current address).
We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
You may instruct us not to process your personal information for
marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually
either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal
information for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an
opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal information for
marketing purposes.
(10) Third party websites
The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible
for the privacy policies or practices of third party websites.
