In accordance with data protection law, we are obliged to inform you that we are using your information as described in this Privacy Policy on the following legal basis:
We may collect the following types of personal information:
Some personal information we require that you provide in order for us to be able to provide the services. Other information is voluntary. We will make it clear which personal information you have to give at the point of collection. If you do not provide this personal information, you will not be able to benefit from some of the features of our webaite or any of the related activities.
In addition to the personal information we collect in the above ways, we may also collect personal information about your visits to our website and about your computer including, but not limited to traffic data, location data, weblogs, the resources that you access, when you access our website, when you leave our website, your IP address, your operating system and browser type. This other information is collected by cookies.
We will use the personal information collected
Much of the personal information we receive is provided electronically, originating with your relevant device and then transmitted to us by your relevant telecoms network provider.
All personal information we receive will be kept as confidential and as secure as possible through the use of our secure server software. This means that the personal information can only be exchanged between you, us and any third party to whom we decide to transfer the personal information for the purposes detailed in this Privacy Policy.
We follow strict security procedures and use industry-standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of the personal information we hold. We treat personal information as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorised access. We use many different security techniques to protect personal information from unauthorised access by users inside and outside the company. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will, of course, comply with our legal obligations. If we provide you with a user ID and password to enable you to access restricted areas of our website or other content or services you must ensure that the user ID and password is kept confidential. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your user ID or password unless such activities were the result of a failure in our security.
In addition to the above personal information we will also collect the following personal information during the purchase:
We work in partnership with a payments service provider for secure transaction handling. We take security very seriously.
We also work closely with third parties (including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, marketing providers, analytics providers, search information providers and credit reference agencies) and may receive information about you from them or from any other people where you give them permission to share information with us, or otherwise where they can lawfully do so. We cannot run our business or provide many of the services and benefits you expect to receive without involving other people and businesses and sometimes we pass your information to these other people and businesses as set out below. We only share your information where we can do so in accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations.
We shall not release the personal information we collect to any third parties unless:
How Long We Keep Your Personal Information For
We may retain your personal information for historic research and statistical purposes for as long as we choose (which may be indefinitely).
Otherwise, in accordance with our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will only retain your personal information for as long as we actually need it to achieve the purpose(s) for which we have obtained it in the first place. We will then either securely delete it or anonymise it so that it cannot be linked back to you.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.
We take steps to make sure that, when your personal information is handled in another country, appropriate protection is in place, in line with data-protection laws. Often, this protection is set out under a contract with the organisation who receives that information. For more information about this protection, please contact us at info@comicconconnections.com
