but in either case their consent is sought prior to collecting the data or prior to transferring it. Please note that certain services may be unavailable if customers do not want us to disclose information relating to customers as outlined above.
We may disclose aggregate statistics about our Website visitors, customers and sales in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers and other reputable third parties and for other lawful purposes, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law (for example, if required to do so by a Court order) or if we believe that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights, property or personal safety of buddi, the Website or its visitors.
Other than as described above, we will only disclose their personal information to a third party, either as part of the reorganisation or sale of the assets of buddi, or having ensured that steps have been taken to ensure that their privacy rights continue to be protected. This Website may, from time to time, contain links to other Websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such Websites.
Security
We place a great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our customers. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of customer data under our control. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised personnel have access to user information. We use secure software to encrypt financial information customers input before it is sent to us. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
Log Files/ IP Address
When customers visit our Website, we may automatically log their IP address (the unique address which identifies their computer on the Internet) which is automatically recognised by our web server. We use IP addresses to help us administer our Website and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Use of cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to their hard drive to store and sometimes track information about customers. This information facilitates their use of our Website and helps us to provide customers with the best level of service; for example cookies ensure that customers do not need to re-enter their details every time customers visit our Website and help us to show customers advertisements which are relevant to their interests.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if customers prefer, customers can change their browser to prevent that and their help screen or manual will tell customers how to do this. However, customers may not be able to take full advantage of our Website if customers do so. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track their movements around the Internet. Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify users and passwords and credit card information are not stored in cookies.
We use cookies to:
- identify who customers are and to access their account information;
- estimate our audience size and patterns;
- ensure that customers are not asked to register twice;
- control how often visitors see similar ads;
- track preferences and to improve and update our Website; and
- track the progress and number of entries in some of our promotions and contests
Where is the information stored?
Information which customers submit via this Website is sent to a computer located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). This is necessary in order to process the information and to send customers the information customers have requested. Information submitted by customers may be transferred by us to our other offices and to other reputable third party organisations, which may be situated outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") in countries which may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. If we transfer their information outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that their privacy rights continue to be protected.
