Big Pink Privacy Policy

The following statement explains our policy regarding the personal information we collect about you.

1. Statement of intent

From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (eg name and email address etc) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include newsletters, competitions and client access VPNs.

2. Information on visitors

Visitors to each of our Web sites can access the Web site's home page, and browse some areas of the site, without disclosing any personally identifiable information. We do track information provided to us by your browser, including the Web site you came from (known as the "referring URL"), the type of browser you use, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you.

In addition, we gather information about you that is automatically collected by our Web server, such as your IP address and domain name. Big Pink may use this information to customize its offerings and presentations.

3. Submitting personal information

When Big Pink receives personally identifiable information, we may use it for reasonable business purposes, just as non-Internet businesses do. For example, we may use this information to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information we believe may be of interest. It might also be used for compiling data and analyses to understand and serve our customers' needs.

The 'information padlock' signpost

The 'information padlock' signpost has been devised by the Office of the Information Commissioner, for use by organisations that request personal information.

Wherever the signpost appears, Big Pink will provide an explanation of why the information is requested, or will give directions to where such an explanation is provided.

4. Combining Data

We may create combined data about all visitors to our Web sites for product development and improvement activities. We also use it for market analysis. We may provide information from our Web sites in combined form, with any personal identifying information removed, to third parties.

Depending on our agreement with the third parties, we may or may not charge for this information.

5. Third Parties

In addition, to combining information, we may share some kinds of information with third parties as described below.

• Companies and People Who Work for Us
• Business Transfers
• Legal Requirements

6. Security

We have put in place appropriate procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental damage and accidental loss and maintain the security of the information we collect online

7. Access to your personal information

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Big Pink holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests.) Please address requests to the Data Protection Officer (email: dp.officer@BigPink.co.uk).
