We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site.
This site uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our site. The site uses page referrer data – that is, information about the page that linked you to this page – to determine to what extent our page is referenced by other resources on the Web. This data may be used to preserve the integrity of our computing resources.
This site collects, your name, address, telephone numbers and email address. This information is used to place an order. We do not share any personal information with any third parties nor do we use any personal information for any purposes beyond those stated here.
Every time consumers respond to an offer in a magazine, use a loyalty card, surf the internet, or obtain government services electronically, they are laying down a trail of information that can be sold to others, or used for marketing.
Personal information is one of the most valuable commodities in society today. Government and public service providers gather a wealth of information from taxpayers, car owners, benefit recipients, patients, clients, customers and voters. Businesses too are intent on developing ever more sophisticated ways of capturing and using data about individuals.
Consumers have much to gain from these developments. But whenever personal data is collected and stored, it may also be abused. Wrong information may be passed on to third parties, privacy invaded or individuals besieged by marketers. Trust is hard-won and necessarily fragile. If the information age is to develop on secure foundations, it is vital that those who collect and use personal data maintain the confidence of those who are asked to provide it.
In July 1998, a new Data Protection Act replaced the 1984 Act. It covers most information held in written files, as well as on computers.
There are eight data protection principles in the Act that define the duties of people who collect and provide personal data. Data controllers make decisions about what data is held, how and why it is held and who has access to it. Those who act on behalf of data controllers are called data processors. Data controllers and data processors can be an individual, a group of individuals or organisation depending on its size. The principles also define the rights of people who own the information about themselves – data subjects.
The principles dictate that:
