The data controller collecting the data described herein is the Camera Centre. Where it is necessary to meet the purpose for which information has been submitted by the visitor, personal data collected by the Camera Centre may be transferred to other Camera Centre firms within the Camera Centre organisation. By submitting data through the Camera Centre web site, the visitor is providing explicit consent to the transmission of data collected through the web site for the fulfilment of the visitor‘s voluntary requests.
1. Data Collection
We only collect personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by visitors to the Camera Centre web site. The Camera Centre receives limited identifiable information, such as name, title, company address, email address, and telephone and fax numbers, from web site visitors. Typically, such identifiable information is collected to:
• Register for certain areas of the web site
• Enquire for further information
• Distribute requested reference materials
Demographic information, including gender and occupation, is not actively sought, but may be submitted when a visitor responds to an online job application. It is the Camera Centre‘s policy to limit the information collected to the minimum required to complete a visitor‘s request. In any instance where non-mandatory information is sought, the web site visitor will be notified of this at the point of collection.
Visitors are also able to send emails through the site. Their messages will contain the user‘s name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message. Because we use the web site as a recruiting tool, a visit to the web site may also result in the user sending a cv to an individual within the Camera Centre.
The Camera Centre‘ intention is not to seek any sensitive information through our web site unless legally required for recruiting purposes. Sensitive information includes data relating to: race or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical or mental health: sexual life or criminal record. We suggest that you do not provide sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive information for any reason, the Camera Centre accepts your explicit consent to use that information in the ways described in this privacy statement, or as described at the point where you choose to disclose this information.
The Camera Centre collects personal information from you in order to fulfil requests for print, electronic products and services. We only require information that is necessary to fulfil such requests. If you are requesting that the Camera Centre send you quotes or further information, we will only require your name, email and/or postal address.
The Camera Centre links to hundreds of other web sites; we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those web sites.
2. Non-personal information collected by web system
Our web servers automatically record general information on all users who browse the content of our web site. These data collection systems gather:
• Your IP address
• The internet domain for your Internet service, such as company.com or school.edu
• The type and version of the browser you are using to access cameracentrecardiff.co.uk (such as Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 3.5)
• The type and version of the operating system you use (such as Macintosh or Windows)
• The address of the previous site you were visiting, if you linked to our web site from another site
• The pages you visit on Camera Centre web site and the files you download
• The date, time and length of time of your visit
The logs are periodically summarised and analysed to study site usage over time to help us improve the site‘s organisation, performance and usefulness. This information is only examined in the aggregate, not at the individual level.
3. Opt-out Consent
In accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998, we provide the opportunity for you to opt out of certain types of usage of your personal data when supplied to us via registration and order forms. Should you wish your personal data to be removed from our records or updated, please contact the Camera Centre to request this.
4. Use of data
Any data gathered through the Camera Centre web site is usually used for internal purposes only. This data is not usually shared with any other organisation, unless this is necessary for the formation and/or completion of a contract. In the unlikely event that the Camera Centre or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, customer data will of course be one of the transferred assets.
A user may choose to provide personal information in the following examples:
• Ordering and/or purchasing (a) product(s)
• Requests for newsletters or similar promotional material
• Participate in ‘joining our mailing list’ initiatives
• Participate in bulletin boards, discussion or message forums
• Contact us for further information
• Enter Quick Surveys, Quiz’s or Benchmarking Surveys
If you would like to find out more about the different categories of information collected, please review the data collection section.
Information obtained through the web site is used only for the intended purpose as stated at the time that the information is collected. This data is not shared for secondary or unrelated purposes with other entities in the firm or a third party, unless otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. If there is an instance where such information may be shared, the visitor will be asked for permission beforehand.
The Camera Centre makes every practical effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data. If a visitor believes that excessive information has been collected through the web site, we encourage the visitor to contact us to raise their concerns.
Other than the Camera Centre Newsletter and mailing list initiatives described above, where visitors explicitly choose to receive specific Camera Centre’ marketing or other materials, the Camera Centre will not use personal data collected through the web site to facilitate unsolicited marketing activities.
5. E-mail newsletters
Visitors can opt out of receiving future Camera Centre Newsletters or promotional e-mails at any time, by simply logging into their Camera Centre account and changing their customer preferences. We maintain a strict “No-Spam” policy, that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third party, without your consent.
6. Your consent to this policy
By using our web site, you consent to the collection and use of your data by the Camera Centre. Your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this policy and our disclaimer. Should we decide to change our privacy policy we will post all changes on this page so that you are always kept aware of how we use any data you provide to us.
7. Recording of IP addresses and statistical monitoring
Internet protocol (IP) addresses are used to connect your computer to the internet and are recorded by every site on the internet. As a security measure, the Camera Centre records a visitor‘s IP address when they place an order.
The Camera Centre also uses various data analysis software packages to gather and analyse anonymous activity information for statistical purposes, and for the administration of our web site and servers. The general information we collect is used to improve the content of our web pages, and your navigation through our site. This software does not collect any personal information and we do not record or store individual visitor profiles.
8. Cookies, PHP Sessions, and Log Files
Cookies and PHP Sessions may be set by some pages of our web site. These help us to provide a more customised and secure Web site experience. Session information is written to a file or database on the Camera Centre server. “Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive. For example, Sessions and/or Cookies can be used to store registration information so that you do not need to keep logging in as you move through our online shop. It is the Camera Centre‘ policy to use PHP Sessions and/or Cookies to facilitate efficient registration and login procedures, and to enhance the security of our online shop.
If you are concerned about cookies, most browsers can be set to decline cookies. Visitors who refuse a cookie should still be able to browse a substancial part of our Web site, but may not be able to succesfully purchase products from our online shop.
In order to properly manage our web site we may anonymously log information on our operational systems and identify categories of visitors by items such as domains and browser types. These statistics are reported in the aggregate for our webmasters. This is to ensure that our Web site presents the best web experience for visitors and is an effective information resource.
9. Third parties
It is Camera Centre policy to only disclose information to third parties under the following circumstances:
• As required by law through subpoena, search warrant or other legal process
• When requested by a visitor
The Camera Centre web site does not collect or compile personally identifying information for dissemination or sale to outside parties for consumer marketing purposes, or host mailings on behalf of third parties.
10. Party Links
There are several places throughout cameracentrecardiff.co.uk that may link to other web sites that do not operate under cameracentrecardiff.co.uk‘s privacy practices. When you link to other web sites, the Camera Centre‘s privacy practices no longer apply. We encourage visitors to review each site‘s privacy policy before disclosing any personally identifiable information.
11. Data Retention
Some of the information we receive is not retained. Contact information about visitors (such as information generated through registration) will be kept as long as the information is required to completely service the contact request, or user‘s account or contract, or until a user requests that we delete that information. Mailing list information, discussion points and email are kept for only the period time considered reasonable to facilitate the visitor’s requests. CVs are disposed of when they are either no longer under consideration, or are considered dated by our Human Resources department.
12. Choices
As a policy, visitors do not need to register to browse our web site, but registration is required to purchase products through our online shop. Visitors may in future also be required to register in order to obtain a user-id and password for authentication and secure access to certain business confidential or proprietary information services on premium web sites.
Personally identifiable information provided to the Camera Centre through its web site is provided voluntarily by visitors. Should visitors subsequently choose to unsubscribe from mailing lists or any registrations, we will provide instructions, on the appropriate site.
13. Access
Each visitor has the right of access to personal data they have submitted through the web site to the Camera Centre.
The information supplied by a user during registration can be updated at any time by logging into the user‘s Camera Centre account on our web site. When requested and practical, the Camera Centre will also delete identifying information from current operational systems.
When personally identifiable information is retained, the Camera Centre assumes responsibility for keeping an accurate record of the information once a visitor has submitted and verified the data. The Camera Centre does not assume responsibility for verifying the ongoing accuracy of the content of personal information. When practically possible, if the Camera Centre is informed that any personal data collected through a web site is no longer accurate, the Camera Centre will make appropriate corrections based on the updated information provided by the authenticated visitor.
14. Security
