INFORMATION WE USE
We use the information collected to provide and personalise our services both on-line and off-line.
This may include using your information for the purposes of administering product warranty services. It may also include dealing with your enquiries, conducting quality assurance and/or training our staff.
We may use the information you submit for marketing and promotional purposes. For example, this may include providing you with promotional offers and/or information about products and services by e-mail, telephone or post. If, at any time, you would like to opt-out of receiving future marketing and promotional material from us, you can simply complete and submit the opt-out form.
We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
It may therefore be necessary in relation to each of the various purposes outlined above for us to pass your information to third parties who provide assistance in the provision of our services to you. This may involve transmitting your personal information outside the EEA (European Economic Area).
When we do this, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Policy and current UK legislation. By using the Website, you agree to us using your personal information in this way.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
If Red Tractor or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred assets.
If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our Website Terms and Conditions or Terms and Conditions of Supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Red Tractor, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR INFORMATION
We take appropriate security measures in relation to the sensitivity of the information which we hold on you.
We will not hold your information on our systems for any longer than is necessary for us to meet the purpose of holding that information.
Where you have made us aware that the information that we hold about you is inaccurate or not up to date, we will update that information.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. Please address any requests to Red Tractor at the contact address set out below.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Our site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
