Expect as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our Website.
How we process your information
There are six defined bases under which we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis of each category. If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, then we shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes then, if required by law, we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis which we have determined that we can continue processing your information.
Information we process because we have got a contractual obligation with you
When you create an account on our Website or agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
In order to carry out our obligations under the contract we must process the information you give to us. Some of this information may be personal information.
We may use it to:
- Verify your identity for security purposes
- Sell products to you
- Provide you with our services
- Provide you with suggestions and comments about our services, products and how to obtain the most from our Website
We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
Furthermore, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
We shall continue processing this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.
Information we process with your consent
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our Website or ask us to provide you more information about our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.
Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us a message b y e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our Website.
If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent, or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us via email at info@bancard.co.uk. However. If you do so, you may not be able to use our Website and/or our services further.
Information we process because we have an obligation
We are to the law as everybody else. Sometimes we must process your information to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have got the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
This may include your personal information.
