Access to your personal information
1. Statement of intent
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about
yourself (e.g. name and email address etc) in order to receive or use services
on our website. Such services may include newsletters, alert email, live chat
functions, message boards and www.quantabackup.com membership. By entering your
details in the fields requested, you enable Quanta Development
Ltd and its service providers to provide you with the services you select.
Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information
in accordance with this policy. Our services are designed to give you the
information that you want to receive. Quanta Development Ltd will act
in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best
practice.
2. Use of cookies
We may use cookies on this Site to ensure the integrity of the registration
process and to personalise the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is
placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalise a web page, or
navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering
relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web
site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the site's features that you customised. Web beacons, also known as
clear gif technology, or action tags, may be used to assist in delivering the
cookie on our site. This technology is a tool we use to compile aggregated
statistics about www.quantabackup.com Web site usage, such as how many visitors
clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a www.quantabackup.com
Web page, blog or a newsletter. We may share aggregated site statistics with
partner companies but do not allow other companies to place clear gifs or
cookies on our sites unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value
(such as merging into www.quantabackup.com a site that relies on third-party
cookies or clear gifs). You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most
Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your
browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of
this or other Web sites you visit.
3. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to www.quantabackup.com we have legal
obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the
information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it, and tell you
if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. In general, any
information you provide to www.quantabackup.com will only be used within Quanta
Development Ltd and by its service providers. It will never be supplied to
anyone outside Quanta Development Ltd without first obtaining your consent,
unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you post or
send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to www.quantabackup.com
or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on www.quantabackup.com, and
Quanta Development Ltd considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated,
Quanta Development Ltd can use whatever information that is available to it
about you to stop such behaviour. We will hold your personal information on our
servers for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in
the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case that you no longer
wish to continue your registration for service from www.quantabackup.com. Where
personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have
taken part in other www.quantabackup.com services (e.g. quotes), that
information will be held only as long as necessary to ensure that the service
is run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held
securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
4. Data Security
As previously mentioned, data is stored securely in order to comply with the
Data Protection Act (1998). We use a variety of security technologies and
procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide
on computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled
facilities. Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal information (such
as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of
encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Quanta
Development Ltd holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected.
