www.cyclearound.co.uk are committed to protecting the privacy of our online visitors. We strive to offer our visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalised experience. We may use personally identifiable information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy and the UK Data Protection Act 1998, under which we are registered. Under the Data Protection Act you are entitled to request a copy of any records that we hold about you (subject to a small administration fee of £15.00). We will NEVER sell, barter, or rent your email address or personal details to any unauthorised third party. "Period."
We collect information from online visitors who ask to be on our newsletter mailing list and/or receive periodic email announcements. Anyone who wishes can choose to be removed from our mailing list at any time.
All online visitor data collected by www.cyclearound.co.uk is protected against unauthorised access. We will not sell, trade, or give your personal information to other companies or organisations.
How we gather information from users:
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services we provide. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, www.cyclearound.co.uk also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognise you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement whilst visiting our site.
As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customise the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect:
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualised content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone. Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on www.cyclearound.co.uk to communicate with you about your registration and customisation preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by www.cyclearound.co.uk and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally identifiable information collected by www.cyclearound.co.uk may also be used for other purposes including, but not limited to, site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you.
Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access such information.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information from our systems. www.cyclearound.co.uk encourages parents to go online with their children.
Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:
* Teach children never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. This includes name, address, phone, school, clubs they are a member of, school extra-curricula activities etc.
* Know the sites your children are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
* Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child's information is treated.
