Euroexchangeratenews.co.uk has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of the personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with our website. We hold the privacy of your personal information in very high regard. The following Privacy Policy discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Euroexchangeratenews.co.uk. We recognise the importance of protecting your privacy and our policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new policies, technologies, business practices and our customers’ needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit this website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Email Information – If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by post and telephone.
2. Website Use Information
Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilises a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and web server log files to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after our website.
In accordance with GDPR, we will ask for your explicit consent to our use of cookies when you first visit our website. You can withdraw your consent at any time and we will ask you to renew your consent every 12 months.
How Do We Use the Information You Provide?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for the purposes of administering our business activities, providing the products and services you requested, to monitor the use of our services, to support our marketing and promotional efforts, to improve our content and service offerings, to customise our site’s content, layout, services and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law. We may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and relevant special offers as long as you have actively opted in to receive such communications. You may update your email preferences at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us at [email protected].
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. 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. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. This website will also ask you to provide your consent to its use of cookies, and you retain the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please bear in mind that if you choose to withhold your consent or set your browser to refuse cookies, your preferences may not be stored and some areas of our site may not function as effectively. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our website, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our website and better serve our clients.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide the services that you have requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by contacting us at [email protected].
What about Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website or the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read those rules and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
You will be asked to consent to our use of cookies and to consent to being contacted using any personal information you provide. By providing your consent you are accepting the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time and will be asked to renew your consent periodically.
Our Commitment to Data Security
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in England and must subsequently be held in compliance with the GDPR. The laws on holding personal data under the GDPR may be less stringent than the laws of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
Visitors to this site who opt-in to receive communications from us have the right to opt-out at any time. After a visitor has opted out we will cease sending the specified communications as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information and consent to its use. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as postcode and age). If consent is provided, contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for the purposes of monitoring or improving the functionality of this site.
Acquisition or Changes in Ownership
In the event that the website (or a substantial portion of its assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made to this Privacy Policy, we will email those visitors who have given us permission to do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially inconsistent with this Privacy Policy without your prior consent.
