PRIVACY POLICY

Europe Privacy Policy

Retail Decisions plc and its group companies and any successor operators of its business (collectively “ReD” and “we”) are sensitive to your privacy interests and believe that the protection of those interests is a significant responsibility. This policy explains how we will handle the personal information you provide to us and what we learn about you from your visit to our web site.

By using this site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy then please do not use this site.

Data Protection Laws

We are conscious of our responsibilities as a “data controller” under the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC (the “Directive”) and the Electronic Privacy Directive 2002/58/EC and all national laws and enacted under those Directives (“Data Protection Laws”) and we shall endeavour to ensure that the personal information we obtain and use will always be held, used, transferred and otherwise processed in accordance with such laws.

How we obtain information about you

The information we collect about you varies depending upon which part of the web site you visit and how you interact with it.  Information about you may be collected without you being aware of it.

Information which you are aware we collect

On our pages you can update personal details, make requests, view information, submit information and register to receive services or materials.  The types of personal information collected on these pages are full name; title; place of work; work address; e-mail address; phone number; career category and areas of interest.
 
We do not acquire more information about you than is necessary for us to provide our services efficiently.

What we do with your information

As a general rule the information which you supply will be processed purely for the purposes for which it is supplied and collected. We ensure all our employees are aware of their responsibilities to protect your privacy and we only give access to your data to the employees who need to access it.

However, we may on occasion use and transfer your information to our group companies for the following purposes: (a) for business development; (b) market research; (c) to provide you with details of promotions, products, offers and services; (d) to share it between us and our group companies for direct marketing purposes. 

We will not transfer your information to other third parties without your consent unless it is required by law.

We understand that not everybody likes to receive direct marketing.  If you do not wish to receive direct marketing information, please tell us by contacting us on the details given at the end of this policy.  In addition, each time we send you marketing information by e-mail or SMS text messaging, we will provide an opportunity for you to unsubscribe from receiving further information from us.

Also, if we sell our company or part of it, we will share your information with the purchaser, who may then provide you with information on their products and services.

We may transfer and process any personal information you provide to us to the third parties mentioned above in countries outside the European Economic Area.  Again, we will endeavour to comply with the Data Protection Laws in respect of such transfers.

 

We cannot provide our services to you without transferring your data to the third parties mentioned above who are located outside the EEA. If you do not consent to such transfers, please do not subscribe to our services.

Information which you are not aware we collect

We use "Cookies" and other types of tracking software in order to personalise your visit to our web site and enhance the experience by gaining a better understanding of your particular interests and customising our pages for you. A cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server and which is then stored by the browser in a text file. Each time the browser requests a page from the server this message is sent back which enables the user to be identified.

We may use the information provided by cookies to analyse trends, administer the site, or for research and marketing purposes to help us better serve you.  No information which personally identifies you will be collected through the cookies.  If you like, you can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie so you have the chance to accept it and you can also set your browser to turn off all cookies.  The web site http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ (run by the Interactive Marketing Bureau) contains step-by-step guidance on how cookies can be switched off by users.

How we protect the information we process

We have put in place measures which ensure the security of the information we collect and its correct use. These are appropriate to the nature of the information and prevent unauthorised access. We take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of our own staff and ensure that any persons who process information on our behalf reach the same high standards that we set ourselves and limit their access to your data to what is necessary in order for them to perform their roles and responsibilities. Our security measures include the use of software firewalls, encryption and intrusion detection systems. We store transaction information on secure computers located in locked data centres to which only selected employees have access.

The accuracy of your information

While we endeavour to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, we shall assume that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the information you provide us with is accurate.  Should there be any inaccuracies in the information of which you inform us, or of which we become aware, it shall be promptly rectified by us.  We do not retain any information about you which is out of date or which is no longer required.
