7. Use of Cookies

We may use cookies in order to provide a better service or identify which pages on our Website(s) and Social Media Channels are of special interest. A cookie is a small piece of information which a website stores via your web browser on your PC or other device and which can later be retrieved. Cookies cannot be read by a website other than the one which set it. The main objective is to identify users and personalise their visit by customising web pages for them, for example by welcoming them by name next time they visit the same website. Most cookies last only through one session or visit to our Website(s). None will contain information that will enable anyone to contact you via telephone, e-mail, or any other means. You can set up your web browser to inform you when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being set. You can find more information about the types of cookies we use and how to change your settings by visiting our Cookie Policy page.

8. What do we do to safeguard personal data?

We have instituted safeguards to check that our internal procedures meet our high policy standards. We also use all efforts reasonably necessary to be sure that third parties who work with us as our agents to make our Website(s), Social Media Channels and their contents available to you, and to fulfil your orders and requests, agree to protect personal data that they must access in order to serve our Website(s) and our visitors. We limit access to personal data about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that data to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.

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 personal data transmitted to our Website(s) and/or Social Media Channels; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Our Website(s) is not intended for children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from visitors of this age group.

9. Where do we store your personal data?

The personal data that we collect about you may be transferred to, and stored at, destinations outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) by us or third parties with whom we share your personal data. It may also be processed by employees operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such employees maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. As a consequence, your personal data may not be protected by equivalent data protection laws and you may not have the same rights in respect of use of your data in that country. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your personal data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.

10. Changes to this Policy

Any changes to this Policy will be posted on our Website(s).

11. Anything else I should know?

The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access information held about you. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs of providing you with details of the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to opt out of any marketing communications that we may send you (as noted above).

If you have any questions, wish to access, update or delete information, wish to opt out of receiving future communications, or have questions about this Policy, please contact us online via www.Strupz.co.uk
