As set out above, SC-AV is committed to safeguarding your personal information.
Whenever you provide such information, we are legally obliged to use your

information, including the Data Protection Act 1998 (these laws are referred

.::. 2. What information will SC-AV collect about me? .::. |
|
When you sign up to participate in or receive a service from any sc-av.co.uk
website, such as newsletters, offers or catalog updates, we may ask for personal
information about you. This can consist of information such as your name,
e mail address, postal address, telephone or mobile number or date of birth.
Different webpages may ask for different personal information.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable SC-AV and its
service providers to provide you with the services you select.
Please note that sometimes on particular webpages we will require you to
provide additional personal information, and sometimes sensitive personal
information. When we do this we will specify further on these webpages why
we are collecting your information and how we will use it.
SC-AV also uses cookies (see
below for details) and collects IP addresses (an IP address is a number that
can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the
internet). We use analysis software to look at IP addresses and cookies for
the purpose of enhancing your user experience. This information is not used
to develop a personal profile of you and the log files are regularly purged.
|
|
|
.::. 3. How will SC-AV use the information they collect about me? .::. |
|
SC-AV will use your personal information for a number of purposes including
the following:
- For "service administration purposes", which means that SC-AV may
contact you for reasons related to the service you have signed up for,
as set out in below (e.g. to
provide you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular
service has been suspended for maintenance);
- IP addresses are used to identify the location of users, the number
of visits from different countries and also to block disruptive use; and
- To analyse and improve the services offered on sc-av.co.uk. e.g. to
provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience.
Where SC-AV proposes using your personal information for any other uses we
will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity
to withhold or withdraw your consent for your use other than as listed above.
|
|
|
.::. 4.When will SC-AV contact me? .::. |

for in order to ensure that SC-AV can deliver the services to you;
- Where you have opted to receive further correspondence;
- To invite you to participate in surveys about the SC-AV services
(participation is always voluntary); and
- For marketing purposes where you have specifically agreed to this
(see below)

.::. 5. Will I be contacted for marketing purposes? .::. |

to you unless you specifically agree to be contacted for these purposes.
|
|
|
.::. 6. Will SC-AV share my personal information with anyone else? .::. |
|
|
We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is
required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law
enforcement agencies) or as described in
below. Generally, we will only use your information within SC-AV.
However, sometimes SC-AV uses third parties to process your information.
SC-AV will require these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions
and SC-AV will require that they do not use your personal information
for their own business purposes.
|
|
|
.::. 7. Offensive or inappropriate content on the SC-AV website .::. |
|
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere
on or to sc-av.co.uk, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on
sc-av.co.uk, SC-AV may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.
Where SC-AV reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any of
the laws of England or Wales (e.g. because content you have posted may be
defamatory), SC-AV may use your personal information to inform relevant
third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider or law
enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
|
|
|
.::. 8. What if I am a user aged 16 or under? .::. |
|
|
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission
beforehand whenever you provide personal information to the SC-AV website.
Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal
information.
|
|
|
.::. 9. How long will SC-AV keep my personal information? .::. |
|
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is
necessary for the relevant service, or as long as is set out in any
relevant contract you hold with SC-AV or SC-AV's corporate retention
schedule (this is a database that defines which documents should be kept
and for how long).
Where you contribute to sc-av.co.uk, SC-AV will generally only keep your
content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which
it was submitted.
Where possible, we will endeavour to inform you upfront or let you know at
a later date where we are likely to keep content indefinitely or pass it
onto an approved historical archive.
|
|
|
.::. 10. Can I find out what personal information SC-AV holds about me? .::. |
|
Under the Data Protection Act you have the right to request a copy of the
personal information SC-AV holds about you and to have any inaccuracies
corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests and will require you to
prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved photographic identification.)
We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal
information about you on our files.

.::. 11. Changes to SC-AV's Privacy Policy .::. |
|
|
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time so you may wish to
check it each time you submit personal information to any sc-av.co.uk
website. The date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page.
|
|
|
.::. 12. Cookies Policy - Information SC-AV collects from you .::. |
|
a. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier
that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device")
browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive.
Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits
a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their
website in order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to
tailor the websites to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their
devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not
to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised
services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be
able to take full advantage of all of the sc-av.co.uk features. Each browser is
different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your
cookie preferences.
During the course of any visit to sc-av.co.uk, the pages you see, along with a
cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies
enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device
(and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat
visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
b. How does SC-AV use cookies?
Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors
and help us to provide you with a better user experience. For example: if on a
previous visit you went to our booking info pages, we might find this out from
your cookie and highlight booking information on your second and subsequent
visits.
SC-AV also use a number of independent measurement and research companies. They
gather information regarding the visitors to SC-AV sites on our behalf using
cookies, log file data and code which is embedded on our website. SC-AV use this
type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users. SC-AV
strictly require that third parties do not use any information for their own
business or other purposes (see above).
Certain other areas of sc-av.co.uk may use cookies for a specific reason - for
example, to help an online enquiry work effectively on your device. If this is the
case, the local terms for that area of the website will make this clear and you
should refer to those local terms for additional information.
