Information The Company Collect From Users
The Company may collect and process the following data about a User:
- Information that a User provides by filling in forms on any Company websites. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use a Company website, subscribing to a service, posting Material or requesting further services. The Company may also ask Users for information when a User enters a competition or promotion sponsored by the Company or when a User reports a problem with a Company website.
- If a User contacts the Company, a record may be kept of that correspondence.
- The Company may also ask Users to complete surveys that are used for research purposes, although Users do not have to respond to them.
- Details of transactions carried out through a Company website and of the fulfilment of orders from Users.
- Details of User visits to a Company website including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for the Company’s own billing purposes or otherwise and the resources that are accessed by Users.
- Where details may be collected or Users’ details processed other than included above this information will be notified to Users as appropriate.
Cookies
The Company uses cookies. Cookies are small files that are stored by
Users’ web browsers as they use the web. They are designed to hold a
tiny amount of data to allow websites to do things like remember User’
settings, whether a User is logged in or not or whether a User visited
the site before. Some websites also use “analytical” cookies which allow
the Company to understand things like how many people have viewed our
sites in a given period, how often people visit and what are the most
popular types of content.
Users have several options to allow them to block or delete cookies that
are created on Company websites or on those of third parties.
Please see our Policy for more information about what Cookies
are, how they are used on our site and what options you have to manage
them. By continuing to use our site you consent to our use of Cookies.
Storing Users Personal Data
The data that the Company collects from Users 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 works for
the Company or for one of its suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in,
among other things, the fulfilment of Users’ orders, the processing of
User’s payment details and the provision of support services. By
submitting personal data, Users agree to this transfer, storing or
processing. The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to
ensure that User’s data is treated securely and in accordance with this
privacy policy.
All information Users provide to the Company is stored on secure
servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL
technology. No credit card information is retained beyond the time
necessary to process the transaction.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure. Although the Company will do its best to protect
Users’ personal data, it cannot guarantee the security of data
transmitted to a Company website; any transmission is at User’s own
risk. Once the Company has received information from a User, it will use
strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised
access.
Uses Made Of The Information
The Company may use information held about Users, in some cases obtained by the use of Cookies, in the following ways:
- To ensure that content from a Company website is presented in the most effective manner for Users and their computers.
- To provide Users with information, products or services that the User requests from the Company.
- To provide Users with information which it feels may interest the User, where the User has consented to be contacted for such purposes.
- To carry out the Company’s obligations arising from any contracts entered into between it and the User.
- To allow Users to participate in interactive features of the Company’s service, when Users choose to do so.
- To notify Users about changes to the Company’s service.
The Company may also use a User’s data, or permit selected third parties
to use a User’s data, to provide a User with information about goods
and services which may be of interest to the User and the Company or the
third party may contact the User about these by post or telephone.
If the User is an existing customer, the Company will only contact the
User by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about goods
and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale
to the User.
If the User is a new customer, and where the Company permits selected
third parties to use User’s data, the third party will contact the User
by electronic means only if the User has consented to this.
If a User does not want the Company to use his/her data in this way, or
to pass his/her details on to third parties for marketing purposes the
User may inform the Company and details of how this may be undertaken
are shown on the relevant website.
The Company does not disclose information about identifiable individuals
to its advertisers, but it provides them with aggregate information
about Users. The Company may also use such aggregate information to help
advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target. The Company
may make use of the personal data it has collected from Users to enable
it to comply with its advertisers’ wishes by displaying their
advertisement to that target audience.

the PBV Monitor Srl group of companies, which means its subsidiaries.

- If the Company is under a duty to disclose or share User’s personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply its Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, its customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
