1. Introduction
This policy covers the DBO Services use of personal information
that is collected when you use dboservices.com. The policy
also gives you information about cookies; DBO Services and
third parties' use of cookies; and how you may reject such
cookies.
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information
about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive
or use services on our website. Such services include newsletters,
software and document download and dboservices.com support
services.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable
DBO Services 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. When using your personal information DBO
Services will act in accordance with current legislation and
aim to meet current Internet best practice.
2. Visitor Information
During the course of any visit to dboservices.com, the pages
you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are
downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because
cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like
find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has
visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit
by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on
the last visit.
Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you
with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse
the profile of our visitors. A services provider may gather
non-personal information regarding the visitors to our website
on our behalf using cookies, log file data and code which
is embedded on our website. DBO Services uses this type of
information, as with that obtained from other cookies used
on the site, to help it improve the services to its users.
3. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from
a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive.
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 web site to access the cookies
it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites.
Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in
order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences.
Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept
all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not
to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course,
means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided
to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full
advantage of all of the features. Each browser is different,
so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn
how to change your cookie preferences.
If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still
browse dboservices.com anonymously until such time as you
wish to register for dboservices.com services. For further
information on cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org
4. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to dboservices.com
we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those
data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we
must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular
webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information)
and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone
else.
In general, any information you provide to DBO Services will
only be used within the company and by its agents and service
providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are
obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive,
inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to DBO
Services or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on
dboservices.com, then DBO Services can use whatever information
that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour.
This may involve informing relevant third parties such as
your employer, e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement
agencies about the content and your behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems 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 of DBO Services registration you no longer wish to continue
your registration.
Where personal information is held for people who are not
yet, that information will be held as long as is 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.
We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as
notifying you of improvements to the service or new services
on dboservices.com unless you specifically agree to be contacted
for such purposes at the time you submit your information
on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically
to receive such promotional information.
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information
that DBO Services holds about you and to have any inaccuracies
corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests.)
Please address requests for the attention of the Data Protection
Officer via email: enquiries@dboservices.com
