6. Cookies


  1. 6.1 When you visit the Site we may store some information (commonly known as a "cookie") on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Passwords are not stored in cookies. A cookie helps you get the best out of the Site and helps us to provide you with a more customised service. We use cookies so that you do not have to re-enter your details each time you visit the Site and to track how our Site is used and to improve and update our content. We will never use cookies to try to elicit information about you other than is described above.

  1. 6.2 If we serve up advertisements, we may allow authorised third parties to place or recognise a unique cookie on your browser, although no personally identifiable information will be contained on such cookies. Only general data (examples might include your geographic location, your occupation, your professional or educational background) would be stored on such cookies.

  1. 6.3 Where we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") the information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

  1. 6.4 You can block or erase cookies from your computer at any time if you want to (your browser's help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Site may rely on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

7. Elimination of data


  1. 7.1 If you delete any of your information or have asked us to delete your account, we will only retain a copy of your data in our backup archives as part of our normal backup process.

11. Security


  1. 11.1 We have implemented technology and policies to safeguard your privacy from unauthorised access and improper use. We use secure server software (also known as "Secure Socket Layer" or SSL) to encrypt any sensitive information you need to input before it is transmitted to our servers. You can tell when this is active by the use of "https" in the address bar instead of "http", or by the indication of a padlock symbol on most browsers.

  1. 11.2 All back up copies of data transmitted to the Site are held in encrypted form.

  1. 11.3 Dekasu Limited is a notified Data Controller with the Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO") in the UK. The ICO is a UK Government department tasked with ensuring that individuals and companies know what data exists about them, can access data about them, and can feel confident that their data is secure and will not be unfairly exploited.

  1. 11.4 It is your responsibility to protect the confidentiality of your login details.

12. Linking to or from third party websites

However, as part of the services offered to you through the Site, the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside of the European Union (EU). By way of example, this may happen if any of our servers are relocated to a country outside of the EU or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the EU. We may also share information between our group companies, which may be located in countries worldwide. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK. If we transfer your information outside of the EU in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy.
