This privacy policy applies within the UK, Europe and Internationally. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us and we want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it.

How we might gain information

We gather two types of information about users:

• Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic, postal or SMS newsletters and notifications, to participate in our message boards or forums, from shop orders, enquiry forms, information request forms, client login area(s), to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
• We also gather information through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views, email statistics, website statistics, marketing statistics, sales statistics and booking statistics throughout our site. This information allows us to better tailor our content, products and services to visitor's/customer's needs and to help us structure, advertise and sponsor better and understand the demographics of our audience.
• We may also purchase data
• We also collect data at trade fairs and events we attend

What we collect

We may collect the following information:

• name and job title
• company name
• contact information including email address
• demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
• other information relevant to customer surveys and/or offers

What we do with the information we gather

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. 
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail. We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Online login area

Our online login area stores and captures information such as your name, address, email address, contact details, order & invoice history and any other information which is relevant to you as one of our customers.

We may use this information from time to time to send you details about new promotions, events, updates or information. This will come from systems including our CRM, online login area system, or email marketing software we use.

Electrionic newsletters policy

We send electronic newsletters to users. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in the footer every newsletter or from your customer login area. Users can also re-subscribe to the newsletters from our customer login area or by contacting us.

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. We might also use cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).

If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use the main content portions of this site but you will need them enabled for our customer/student login area and online shop and any other functional parts of the web site that require you to be identifiable or logged in.
