PRIVACY POLICY
Before proceeding to provide us with your details, please read
the following important information which concerns the protection
of your personal data
Introduction
The Gatwick Parking Company Limited
is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy summarises
what personal
information
we may collect from you during your use of this Site and
what we will do with it. Any changes to this policy will be
posted
on this page.
Data Use
We often need to collect and use certain types of
information about users of the Site in order to provide information,
products and services including those requested by you.
Generally this will take place when you enter into a contract
with
us. We may, from time to time, make your personal information
available to carefully selected third parties. If you would
like further
details about these third parties, please contact us at info@gatwick-parking-co.com.
Whilst we endeavour to protect the privacy of your information
when dealing with such third parties and whilst we only provide
your information to third parties where they have data protection
measures comparable to our own, we are not responsible for
their use of such information. We recommend that you read
such third parties' own privacy policies.
In addition, we may occasionally be required by law to collect
and use certain types of information of this kind to comply
with the requirements of government departments for business
data, for example. This personal information must be dealt
with fairly and lawfully and there are safeguards to ensure
this in the Data Protection Act 1998.
We may disclose information to the relevant authorities if
we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Please be assured that whenever we are required to transfer
your personal information, regardless of where this occurs,
we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your information
is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy statement
Occasionally, users of the Site may receive electronic mailings
about the Site, changes to the service and other information
which we think may be of interest to you. If you would like
us or trustworthy third parties to contact you, from time to
time, to provide details of offers which could be of interest
to you we may also, on occasion, contact you for the purposes
of market research. If you wish us to remove your information
from our mailings database, in order not to receive future
mailings, this can be achieved by e-mailing info@gatwick-parking-co.com.
Use of Cookies
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are
stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. They
make it possible for us to identify users without needing to
ask for details every time you access one of our sites. Using
cookies makes accessing our Site more convenient as you do
not need to remember your username and password each time you
enter.
By showing how and when users use a site, cookies help us
see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements
and updates to the Site are based on such data as total number
of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily
tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to
provide services better tailored to our users' needs.
We have two primary uses for cookies. First, we use them to
specify preferences. For example, users can specify keywords
across several categories or markets so you don't have to tell
us over and over again about the information you want to see.
Secondly, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns.
This helps us understand our users' needs better and improve
areas of our service that our users find valuable. While both
of these activities depend on the use of a "cookie",
visitors do always have the option of disabling cookies via
their browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes
attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You
can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when
a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the
Site will not function properly or may be considerably slower
if you refuse cookies.
If you would prefer us not to use cookies, please contact us
at info@gatwick-parking-co.com
Links to third party sites
You should be aware that when you are on the Site you could
be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. For
example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement,
the "click" typically takes you off the Site. Please
note that this privacy statement only applies to the content
of this site and not to those sites to which we may provide
a link.
You should note that the providers of services or products
that may be accessible via this Site or links from this Site
may collect and use personal information in a different way
and subject to their own privacy policies.
Security
When you place orders or access your account information,
we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software
(SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent
to us. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally
request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive
information to you.
As you may be aware, no data transmission over the internet
can be entirely secure. As a result, while we always use reasonable
endeavours to protect the personal information you provide
to us, we cannot guarantee the security of your information
and the use of our facilities (e.g. e- mail) is at your own
risk.
Information updates
As we take the issue of protecting your personal data seriously,
we follow strict storage and disclosure procedures which means
that we may occasionally require proof of identity from you
prior to disclosing information.
Please note that by providing us with your personal information
via this web site, you will be providing your consent (including
explicit consent) to the use of your personal information for
the above mentioned purposes.
