We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors;
this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:
(a) information about your visits to and use of this website;
(b) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering
with us and/or subscribing to our website services and/or email notifications.
(2) INFORMATION ABOUT WEBSITE VISITS
We may collect information about you computer and your visits to this website
such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source,
length of visit and number of page views. We may use this information in the
administration of this website, to improve the website's usability, and for
marketing purposes.
We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server
to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to
the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the
web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer's
hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration
of this website, to improve the website's usability and for marketing purposes.
We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our
website, and to personalise our website for you. Our advertisers may also send
you cookies.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet
Explorer you can refuse all cookie by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy",
and selecting "Block all cookies" using the sliding selector.) This will, however,
have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
(3) USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Personal data submitted on this website will be used for the purposes specified in
this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may use
your personal information to:
(a) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;
(b) send to you marketing communications relating to our business [or the businesses
of carefully-selected third parties]
where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology. You can inform
us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications to be sent by emailing
us at optout@essexgourmet.co.uk
(c) provide other companies with statistical information about our users - but this
information will not be used to identify any individual user.
We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third
parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
(4) OTHER DISCLOSURES
In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere
in this privacy policy, we may disclose information about you:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information
to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and
(d) to the purchaser or seller (or prospective purchaser or seller) of any business or
asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling or purchasing.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your
personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure,
and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure servers.
You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We will not ask you for your password.
(6) POLICY AMENDMENTS
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version
on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy
with any changes.
We may also notify you of changes to our privacy policy by email.
(7) YOUR RIGHTS
You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about
you. Provision of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee
(currently fixed at £10.00).
(8) THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the
privacy policies of third party websites.
