Privacy Policy

Introduction
We respect the privacy of every individual who visits our Site and everyone who places an Order or requests services that are available on the Site. Set out below is the information we learn about you when you visit the Site, what we do with that information and how you can change the information we have.

What Information do we collect and how do we use it?
When you visit the Site, we recognise only your domain name and not your e-mail address. We see your e-mail address only if you fill out a form, place an Order or Request for Service, or send us an e-mail message. If you provide personally identifiable information about yourself such as your name, address, telephone number ("Personal Information") by registering on a page, by placing an Order or Request for Service, by filling out a survey, by emailing us or otherwise by voluntarily telling us about yourself or your activities, we will collect that Personal Information. All payments made through our website are processed by EPDQ. This means that your credit and debit card details are only seen by the bank and are not stored by us in any form.

We may also ask for your telephone number so that we can contact you in case there is a query with your Order or Request for Service. In addition to the purposes set out above we may use the Personal Information for marketing purposes, market research, and tracking of sales data. This will help us improve our products and services and the content of the Site. We may also use your Personal Information to contact you occasionally to notify you about important changes to the Site or our products, new services we will be providing, or special offers or events we think will be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive this information or wish to delete Personal Information you have submitted through the Site please send an e-mail to us at security@fhinds.co.uk or contact us at:

Non-Personally-Identifiable Information collected automatically
We may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable, such as the type of Internet browser and operating system you use, or the domain name of the website or the advertisement from which you linked to the Site. When you view the Site we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "Cookie". "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored on your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to tailor the Site or advertisement to reflect your interests and preferences. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent all Cookies or receive a warning before a Cookie is stored.

Protection of Personal Information
As required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we follow strict security measures in the storage and disclosure of Personal Information to prevent unauthorised access. When you place an Order or you access your account information we offer the use of a Secure Server. The Secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.

Disclosure
You can rest assured that your personal data is safe at F Hinds Ltd. We will only use it to send you our newsletter (if you have requested it). Details of how to opt-out of our mailing list come with every news letter. We will never disclose your personal details to a third party under any circumstances.

Consent
By using our Site you consent to the collection and use of your Personal Information as stated above. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post a notice to that effect on the Site. We will not subsequently alter the way we deal with your information as a result of such changes unless you give us new permission to do so.
