4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

When you submit Account or Project information, it is stored on a secure server. The secure server software encrypts the information that you input before it is transmitted to us. In addition, we have strict security procedures covering the storage and disclosure of your information in order to prevent unauthorised access to comply with the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998. This means that sometimes we may ask for proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.

UKTradeStreet retains and uses your personal information to provide you with the best remote commerce (including electronic and mobile commerce) experience by providing you with a personalised service and to give you details of offers which we think will be of interest to you. We may also use the information to process any transactions you undertake with us and for internal administration and analysis. For quality assurance and training reasons we may record any of the calls you make to us.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your express consent.

For any of the above purposes we may send your information internationally including to countries outside the European Union. Some of these jurisdictions offer differing levels of protection of personal information, not all of which may be as high as the UK.

5. COOKIES

Each web site owned and operated by UKTradeStreet Ltd & those of associated partner companies uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file of which there are three types:

Session cookies: These are used to maintain something called session state. If you consider your journey through the site to be a conversation with us and this cookie just reminds the site where we were in that conversation (for instance if at some point in the conversation you asked us to add a product to your shopping basket, next time you click on the basket it is still there). These are required for the site to function but are not used in any way to identify you personally.
Permanent cookies: These store a few numbers on your hard drive. You can view them by looking in the cookies directory of your browser if you are interested. They last for a long time and each time you come to our site you send us a copy of them. We use them to identify you between visits. For instance if you were looking at a specific product last time you were on the site and we subsequently have a related 'offer' which may interest you we may use this cookie to recognise you and show you that offer. They are not required for the site to work but may enhance your experience. We do not store any personal data in these cookies, just a unique number that identifies you to us.
Third Party Cookies: From time to time we carry advertising from third parties on our website. Occasionally they may send you a cookie. We have no control over these.

Although you cannot block "session" cookies as they are required for our site to function correctly, you can configure your internet browser so that it rejects both "permanent" and "third party" cookies. How you do this will depend on the internet browser you use (for example, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome etc) and it is therefore impractical for us to detail here how you can reject those cookies. Please refer to the relevant internet browser manufacturer's website where you should be able to receive all the information you need.
