We respect the privacy of everyone who visits the Sites. Our Privacy Policy is an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality service with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our visitors and customers. This policy was developed to inform visitors to the Sites about how we handle and use personal information. Privacy is important; we hope you take the time to read this Privacy Policy carefully. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN, BY USING THE SITE(S), YOU AGREE TO THE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
We will regularly assess this Privacy Policy against new technologies, business practices, and our customers’ needs to ensure that you are informed to make choices about how to share and secure your personal data. If you have questions about this privacy statement, our information practices, or your dealings with us, please contact us at [+00 44 (0) 1352 736700] or [optout@pdi-hc.co.uk].
2. What Data Do You Collect?
When you voluntarily provide it to us, we collect information that identifies you (“Personal Data”), such as your:
- Name;
- Email address;
- Address;
- Telephone number;
- Payment information; and
- Email messages to us.
When you visit the Site, we collect data from the device or browser through which you access the Site (“Log Data”), such as:
- Your internet protocol (“IP”) address;
- You browser type;
- Your browser version;
- Statistics on your activities on the Site (such as the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, and the amount of time spent on the Site);
- Information about how you came to the Site; and
- Data collected through cookies or other similar technologies discussed in more detail in our Cookie policy.
Much of this Log Data does not identify you personally. However, we may associate this Log Data with your Personal Data. When we do, we will treat any such combined data as Personal Data until such time as it can no longer be associated with you or used to identify you.
3. How Do We Use Your Personal Data?
Broadly speaking, we use Personal Data for the purposes for which you provided it. If you engage us for services, we will use your name and contact information to fulfill your needs, including billing and delivery if applicable.
If you send us an email, we may use your email address and other information you submit to provide customer service to you.
We may also use your Personal Data or Log Data to administer our internal business activities, such as to design and arrange the Site in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve the Site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers, to better understand visitors to the Site, to manage your account, to provide customer service, or to make available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
In addition, we may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor, and analyze Log Data.
4. How Do You Share My Personal Data?
A. No Sale of Personal Data
We are not in the business of selling your Personal Data. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. Therefore, we will not sell your Personal Data to third parties, including third-party advertisers. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer, or share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below.
B. Sharing Personal Data With Affiliates, Successors, and Agents
We, like many businesses, sometimes engage other companies to perform certain business-related functions. These companies may include marketing agencies, database service providers, backup and disaster recovery service providers, email service providers, payment processors, and others. When we engage another company to perform such functions, we may provide it with Personal Data, Log Data, or aggregate information about our customers, sales, website traffic patterns, and related website information, in connection with its performance of such functions. We take measures to select service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of these third-party companies.
C. Sharing Data Through Social Media
We may work with social media sites like Facebook, and with application developers who specialize in social commerce so you can connect to us, share your interests, express opinions about products and services, purchase our services or products, and generate interest in our services among members of your social networks.
If you use third-party social media features, we or the third party may collect or share your data, including your Personal Data. We consider information collected from or shared through any such social media features as public information, because the third-party social media sites made it publicly available. If you do not want us to be able to access information about you, including Personal Data, from third-party sites, you must limit data collection and disclosure in the privacy settings on the third-party sites. We reserve the right to remove the Personal Data or other data of any person for any reason we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate.
D. Legally-Compelled Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in our good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- comply with a legal obligation;
- protect or defend our rights, interests, or property, or that of third parties;
- prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Site;
- act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public; or
- protect against legal liability.
5. What Are My Rights Regarding The Processing Of My Personal Data?
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used.
You may choose to limit the Personal Data you submit by merely browsing the Site without providing your name or other information. If you do so, you may not be able to use certain functionality of the Site. To register for an account, for example, you must provide your name and email address, as well as other information.
If you would prefer for us not to exchange your name with other companies, please contact us at [optout@pdi-hc.co.uk, +00 44 (0) 1352 736700, PDI Ltd, Aber Park, Flint CH6 5EX].
6. Is My Personal Data Secure?
We are committed to the protection of your information. We may store Personal Data or such information may be stored by third parties to whom we have transferred it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We take what we believe to be reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data collected via the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no network, server, database, or internet or e-mail transmission, is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us electronically. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data.
7. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?
We may retain your Personal Data as long as you continue to use the Site. However, we may retain Personal Data for an additional period as is permitted or required under applicable laws. Even if we delete your Personal Data, it may persist on backup or archival media for an additional period of time.
