Collection of Personal Information

We take your electronic privacy seriously. While we are the sole owner of the information we gather on the Website, we will not share any of your information with any outside party without your explicit consent unless we are required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law, cooperate with law enforcement or other government agencies, or comply with a legal process served on the Website, or court orders. We may pass on your personal information to your mobile phone service provider to secure collection of fees.

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. The use of cookies on Websites is a common industry standard. Cookies act as unique identifiers, used to distinguish different members. They enable us to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on our site. Once you log out of your browser, the cookie simply terminates. Please note that even after we have terminated a cookie, remnants of that cookie may remain on your computer. These remnants are normally inactive.

Our business partners may use cookies on the Website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies or any information collected by these business partners. We may use cookies when we conduct voting polls, surveys, and contests to limit multiple responses and registrations. We will never use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent by us to you in a cookie.

As most browsers automatically accept cookies, you can modify your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. By modifying your browser, it is possible that some parts of the site, such as the voting polls, surveys, contest, and game areas, will not function to their full capacity.

Data Quality and Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable precautions to protect your security. We use encryption technology to ensure information is protected when being sent over the Internet. Unfortunately, there is always a risk involved in sending information through any channel including the Internet and you do so entirely at your own risk.

Authorised employees and contractors will have limited access to your personal information where it is necessary to enable them to perform relative functions. Buy Blinds Online and our associated agencies and companies are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.
