Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and related laws, we have a legal duty to protect the personal information we collect from you and use it only in the way described in this policy.
If you have any concerns, questions or comments about this privacy policy or the Service you can contact us using the contact details at the end of this policy.
Information you provide upon signing up to use the Service:
When you create an account to use the Service, we will record your chosen username, your personal email address, your password. We will also record for security purposes your IP address, and to ensure we maintain a high quality service, we will record and use details of your browser and device type and, if you arrived at the Service via a link from another site, the URL of the linking page.
The data collected through cookies and other tracking technology will never be transferred to third parties without your permission. For more information on how this Service uses cookies and other tracking technology, see our cookie policy.
Email communications:
We use web beacons in our emails to track the delivery of forwarded emails. Our web beacons don’t store any information on your computer but, by communicating with our cookies on your computer, they can tell us when you have opened an email from us. We may keep track of the emails that we send you.
We also keep a record of what communications you have selected to receive or not to receive. If you would like to opt out of receiving such emails, please click the “unsubscribe” link in the email and follow the instructions.
We will never disclose your personal email address.
We will never view emails you receive or send without your explicit authorization or unless under force of law.
We will not see which sites you personally sign up to using Me and My ID, although we will monitor this overall, without associating any of them with any individual user. This is to ensure we handle emails to and from those sites effectively.
We will use the information we collect, as applicable, to:
provide you with services or information that you have requested or products or services that you have ordered
monitor or improve the performance of, and products and services available through, this Service
monitor compliance with our terms and conditions of use of the Service, enforce our rights and protect the safety of others including investigating and if necessary removing any content about which we receive a complaint
send you operational emails to inform you; how to use the site, of changes we are making to it or our terms and conditions, of service performance
for any purpose if we are required to do so by any law or other regulatory or government authority
By providing us with your personal information, you consent to us: (a) processing your information as set out in this privacy policy and in any other manner you expressly consent to; (b) processing your sensitive personal data, and (c) transferring your information to countries or jurisdictions which do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK, if necessary for these purposes. If we do make such a transfer, we will, if appropriate, put a contract in place to ensure that your information is protected.
We will never disclose any information about you without your explicit permission each and every time we do so.
Agents:
We use third parties to perform certain functions on our behalf including data storage, sending emails, service analysis, data analysis and processing credit card payments. They will have access to your personal information if necessary to perform their function but they cannot use it or disclose it for any other purpose, unless you have specifically given them consent to do so.
Aggregate Information:
We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics and Service usage statistics, with the media, advertisers, sponsors and other organisations.
Third-Party Ad Serving Services:
We or the Service Store may use a third-party network advertiser to serve advertisements within the Service. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on the category the Service falls into. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products or services you might be interested in. This Service’s advertisers and/or sponsors will not be able to set and access their own cookies on your device even if you choose to have your cookies enabled in your browser.
Third Party Analytics Services:
We may use the Google Analytics or other analytics services to anonymously collect and analyse which pages of the Service are viewed and for how long and which links are followed, so that we can provide more content which is of interest to you.
Your information is stored on servers which are owned and maintained by or on behalf of Me and My ID and its group companies. We may keep your information for a reasonable period for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.
This Service may contain links to other websites and we may display advertisements from third parties in our Service. We may monetise some of these links through the use of third party affiliate programmes. Notwithstanding such affiliate programmes, we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites or for third party advertisers, even if they use the Service’s logo as part of a co-branding agreement, nor for the way in which information about their users is treated. Before submitting any personal information to such websites, you should check their privacy policy.
In accordance with our requirements under the Data Protection Act 1998, we will adopt appropriate security procedures to help prevent unauthorised access to your information. Neither Me and My ID nor any of its group companies shall be liable for any attempt to hack or crack or otherwise gain access to any of your information on servers owned and maintained by or on behalf of Me and My ID and its group companies.
By using this Service you agree to the terms of this privacy policy, our cookies policy and our terms of use. We may amend this privacy policy and/or our cookies policy and/or the terms of use from time to time. If we do so, an updated version will be available through a link in the Service. You will be bound by the new terms upon your continued use of this Service.
If you have any general questions about this Service or the information we have collected about you and how we use it, you can contact the Me and My ID Team using the Contact us page on the website. You are entitled to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies in your information corrected.
