Privacy Statement
Why we need Information
When you visit our site you will receive explicit advice when
we seek to gather information about you. The information you provide is used to produce your web page and any information
you supply is displayed to the public on this page, unless otherwise stated.
The Registration Process
The information harvested during the registration process is used to create your own unique identification as
a site visitor/services user and enable us to undertake the various administration processes necessary.
Your
Unique Identification
This identification is provided in the form of a member name and password.
It is important that you keep this identification secret to avoid unauthorized use of your account.
How we
use your Information
The information we collect about you or your business enables us to:
-
understand your needs
- improve our service to you
- stay in touch with you
through other media as you require
- deliver goods and services to the addresses you have provided
- enhance and refine existing information we may have acquired from other sources
-
complete the internal administration necessary to register you and maintain our service to you
How do you know
if we are gathering Information?
Detailed information about you is only collected when you are advised
explicitly that is what we are doing and you supply it voluntarily.
Sharing Information
We may share the information with sub-contractors and partners but only on condition that they comply strictly with our
own Supplier Confidentiality Agreement, the Customer Privacy Promise you are currently reading and the EU Directive on Data
Protection and the Data Protection Act 1998.
Checking Information
You can check the
accuracy of our records and make modifications at any time in the 'My Account' settings area.
Deleting
Information
You can immediately delete any information we hold about you by using the facilities
in My Account. But please remember that deletion of key information may affect your status as a registered user.
Sale
of Information
If you have agreed explicitly to allow us to do so, information about you may be
sold or provided to third parties. However, no information will be provided to any other party without your express permission.
Legal Disclosure
When approached by the appropriate authorities, information about
you, your business or account usage may be disclosed but only when legally required under European Law.
Security
We take all reasonable precautions to protect information about you from loss, misuse and alteration. Agents,
partners and sub-contractors who have access to your information have a duty of care as detailed in our contracts with them
and are not permitted to use it for any other purpose unless you have given your explicit permission in detail that they may
do so.
Hackers and Viruses
Your registration details are very important - please
keep your password and member name secret. It is better for other users to register separately than to share your account
access information. We will never write to ask for your login details - be cautious of anyone asking for this information.
Automated Collection of Other Information
Some non-personal information may be collected
automatically, such as the computer operating system and the type of browser software you are using, along with special codes
that tell us which pages you have visited. Some information is stored in the form of a 'cookie', a small file which
remains on your computer but which acts as a reminder about any preferences you have selected when visiting our sites. We
only use 'cookies' to improve our service to you. We may occasionally allow this non-personal data to be used by third
party content suppliers, to help us serve you with more relevant content. We may also store your log in details on your computer,
but only if you explicitly request us to do so. Remember that if you opt for us to do this, any other user of the same computer
can access your account. You can delete this 'cookie' by clicking the Log Out link at the top of any page.
Switching
Cookies Off
Cookies are required in order to become a member of Virtual Festivals, or to use the
Virtual Festivals Services.
Linked Sites
This Privacy Promise does not apply to any
third parties over whom we have no control.
Aquisition or Merger of Our Company
It is possible that Virtual-Festivals.com Ltd. could merge or be acquired by another business. If this happens, we may share the information that relates to you. You will be sent notice of such an event.
Changes to our Privacy Promise
We reserve the right to change this statement at any time without warning to meet any statutory requirements
or changes in the nature of our activities and services. This privacy statement does not form the basis of any contract between
any party.
Protect your Privacy
We caution you against giving out personally identifiable
information (such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, names and addresses, driver license numbers, passwords)
to strangers online, which may be used for illegal or harmful purposes.
Some personal information you provide to Virtual Festivals may be stored outside of the country in which you reside.
