Our privacy policy
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:
(a) information about your visits to and use of this web site;
(b) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us and/or subscribing to our web site services and/or email notifications.
(2) Information about web site visits
We may collect information about you computer and your visits to this web site such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views. We may use this information in the administration of this web site, to improve the web site's usability, and for marketing purposes.
We use cookies on this web site. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
We may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer's hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this web site, to improve the web site's usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our web site, and to personalise our web site for you.
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookie by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy", and selecting "Block all cookies" using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many web sites, including this one. Some restricted areas of this web site will not function without the use of cookies.
(3) Using your personal data
Personal data submitted on this web site will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the web site.
In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may use your personal information to:
(a) improve your browsing experience by personalising the web site;
(b) send information (other than marketing communications) to you which we think may be of interest to you by post or by email or similar technology;
We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
(4) Other disclosures
In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may disclose information about you:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and
Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.
(5) Security of your personal data
We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
If you have been granted access to one the restricted areas of this web site, you are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential.
(6) Policy amendments
We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our web site. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
(7) Third party web sites
The web site contains links to other web sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of third party web sites.
(8) Contact
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our treatment of your personal data, please write to us by email at info[at]qnet.co.uk (please replace '[at]' with the '@' symbol - this is an anti-spam measure) or by post to QNet Computer Services, Suite 3, Park Square House, Park Square, Pudsey, Leeds LS28 7RG, UK.
