We do our best to maintain the accuracy of any personal information you do supply to us.

You can help us update and maintain the accuracy of any personal information you supply by notifying us of any changes to your address, title, telephone numbers or e-mail address.

 

If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

 

We may monitor your use of the Site through the use of cookies and similar tracking devices. For example, we may monitor how many times you visit, which pages you go to, traffic data, location data and the originating domain name of a user's internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually. For further information on our use of cookies, please see our Cookie policy.

We will use your personal data for the following purposes including:

  • to help us identify you and any accounts you hold with us;

MARKETING & OPT OUT

If you have given permission, we may contact you by mail or email about products, promotions, or special offers that may be of interest to you.

INFORMATION DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the UK Companies Act 2006. Very occasionally, we may share your details with carefully selected third parties. However, if your communication preferences show that you have chosen not to receive information from third parties, then of course your details will not be shared.

 

We may disclose your personal information to third parties 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 Terms and Conditions or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Melbros Limited, our customers, or others.

KEEPING YOUR DATA SECURE

We will use technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data, for example:

  • we store your personal data on secure servers; and

  • payment details are encrypted using SSL technology.

 

While we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your personal data, you acknowledge that the use of the internet is not entirely secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal data that are transferred from you or to you via the internet.
