Access-to-Retail's Privacy Policy
We are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of the visitors and users of our
website. In particular, we are not in the business of selling or renting individuals' personal data to other
companies for marketing purposes. This Privacy Policy provides detailed information on when and why we collect
your personal information, how it is used, limited conditions under which it may be disclosed it to others, and
how it will be kept secure.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as your
name, company, trading address, phone number, and email address.
We follow the standards required by The UK Data Protection Act of 1998, and follow a strict
procedure in the storage and disclosure of all information to prevent unauthorised access and use.
In general, you can browse the website without providing any personal information. We use
industry standard products to analyse traffic to the website in order to understand its visitor's needs and to
continually improve the site for them. The products collect only anonymous, aggregate statistics.
If you subscribe to one of the newsletters, we ask you to simply provide your email address.
In that case, we use your email address only in connection with providing you the newsletter and for no other
purpose.
To use the online ordering system you are required to be registered. As part of the
registration process, we ask you to create an account where we collect additional personal information.
We use that information for several purposes: in order to transmit and process your orders;
to tell you about new features; to fulfil your requests; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide
additional information; to verify the accuracy of our records; or to contact you regarding visitor satisfaction
surveys.
It is our policy to collect and retain only the information required to enable us to carry
out our obligations to you. This information will be stored only as long as necessary.
Disclosure of Personal Information
In some instances we rely on our strategic partners to fulfil information requests. To do
this, we may pass your information to them for that purpose only, and they are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose.
We sometimes hire external companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including
sending postal mail and providing technical support. We may also license/transfer or sell-off our technology to
third parties, and in connection with such transitions, we may disclose customer data to the transferee solely
for the purposes of fulfilling your requests and the obligations owed to you under the applicable agreements. We
provide those companies only the information they need to perform the required tasks, and they are prohibited
from using that information for any other purpose.
By using our website and providing us with your personal data, you consent to this transfer
of your personal data.
We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good
faith belief that such action is necessary in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other
disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of a business of Access-to-Retail
Limited and/or its subsidiaries or to (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on
Access-to-Retail Limited or this website; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Access-to-Retail
Limited and this web site; (3) enforce its agreements with you, or (4) act in urgent circumstances to protect
personal safety or the public.
