1. Statement of intent
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about
yourself (e.g. name and email address etc) in order to receive or use services
on our website. Such services may include newsletters, alert email, live chat
functions, message boards and www.fineholm.co.uk membership. By
entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Fineholm Letting Services Ltd
and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever
you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in
accordance with this policy. Our services are designed to give you the
information that you want to receive. Fineholm Letting Services Ltd will act in accordance
with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.
2. Use of cookies
We may use cookies on this Site to ensure the integrity of the registration
process and to personalise the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is
placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalise a web page, or
navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering
relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web
site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the site's features that you customised. Web beacons, also known as
clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to assist in delivering the
cookie on our site. This technology is a tool we use to compile aggregated
statistics about www.fineholm.co.uk Web site usage, such as how many
visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a
www.fineholm.co.uk Web page, blog or a newsletter. We may share
aggregated site statistics with partner companies but do not allow other
companies to place clear gifs or cookies on our sites unless there is a
temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into
www.fineholm.co.uk a site that relies on third-party cookies or clear
gifs). You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not
be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other Web sites
you visit.
3. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to www.fineholm.co.uk we have
legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must
collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it,
and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. In general,
any information you provide to www.fineholm.co.uk will only be used
within Fineholm Letting Services Ltd and by its service providers. It will never be
supplied to anyone outside Fineholm Letting Services Ltd without first obtaining your
consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you
post or send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to
www.fineholm.co.uk or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on
www.fineholm.co.uk, and Fineholm Letting Services Ltd considers such behaviour
to be serious and/or repeated, Fineholm Letting Services Ltd can use whatever information
that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. We will hold your
personal information on our servers for as long as you use the service you have
requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the
case that you no longer wish to continue your registration for service from
www.fineholm.co.uk. Where personal information is held for people who
are not yet registered but have taken part in other
www.fineholm.co.uk services (e.g. quotes), that information will be
held only as long as necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly. We
will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in
accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
4. Data Security
As previously mentioned, data is stored securely in order to comply with the
Data Protection Act (1998). We use a variety of security technologies and
procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide
on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled
facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal information (such
as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of
encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Fineholm Letting Services Ltd holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected.
