Security precautions in place
to protect the loss, misuse or
alteration of your
information
When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely. Any credit or debit card information provided to ourselves will be used in a safe and secure manner. We use a secure online terminal when processing card payments over the phone, so card payments are not stored on- site. We do not store credit or debit card details through our website.
Card payments are processed using SagePay direct integration. This means we pass your card details from our secure server to SagePay to carry out the authorisation. You will then be directed to the SagePay secure terminal to finalise the payment process. We do not store your card details after we have passed them to SagePay. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on the browser access bar.
Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you
to access certain parts of our websites, you are responsible for keeping this password
confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Profiling
We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your interests and
preferences so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. We may make
use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us
do this effectively.
We may also use your personal information to detect and reduce fraud and credit risk.
Use of ‘cookies’
Like many other websites, the Proquip Direct Limited website uses cookies. ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by an organisation to your computer where they are stored on your hard drive to allow that website to recognise you when you visit. They collect statistical data about your browsing actions and patterns and do not identify you as an individual. This helps us to improve our website and deliver a more personalised service. It is possible to switch off cookies by setting your browser preferences. Turning cookies off may result in a loss of functionality when using our website.
Links to other websites and
domains
Our website may contain links to other websites run by other organisations. This privacy policy applies only to our website‚ so we encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from our website.
In addition, if you’re linked to our website from a third party site, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party site, and we recommend that you check the policy of that third party site.
Transferring your
information outside of
Europe
As part of the services offered to you through this website, the information which you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the European Union (“EU”). By way of
example, this may happen if any of our servers are, from time to time, located in a country outside of the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the UK.
