Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This policy covers KMS Retail Therapy Ltd's use of personal information that we collect when you visit www.kmscameras.co.uk.

KMS Retail Therapy Ltd is committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of your personal information.

We are registered to act in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 (Registered number PZ9535575). The data controller is KMS Retail Therapy Ltd.

The person responsible for data protection is the Data Protection Officer (dataprotectionofficer@kms-retail.co.uk).

2. Data we may collect and process

Details of transactions you carry out through our website www.kmscameras.co.uk and of the fulfilment of your orders.

Information that you provide by filling in forms on www.kmscameras.co.uk, including, but not limited to, information provided at the time of requesting or subscribing to any service, or if you enter any competition or promotion sponsored by us.

Information from surveys that we use for research purposes, if you choose to respond to them.

Communications you send to us, for example to report a problem with or submit a comment regarding www.kmscameras.co.uk.

Details of your visits to the site, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data and the resources that you access.

3. Cookies and IP address

We may collect information about your computer including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual. For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer.

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 our features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

For further information on cookies please visit http://www.aboutcookies.org.

4. Use and storage of your personal information

The data that we collect from you is processed by staff who work either for us or for one of our service providers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services.

All payment transactions are processed through the Paypal secure portal and are encrypted using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

When you supply any personal information to www.kmscameras.co.uk 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 and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.

5. Disclosure

It is our policy not to share your personal information with any other party except to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between us (eg to fulfil your order request).

We may however disclose your personal information if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms and condition or other agreements; or to protect our rights, property, or safety or those of our customers or other third parties. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking or un-checking (as directed) certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at customerservices@kms-retail.co.uk.

Our site may, from time to time, contain hyperlinks to and from internet sites operated by other organisations. If you follow a hyperlink to any of these sites, please note that they will have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to such sites.

6. Accessing your information

The Data Protection Act 1998 gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with that Act. Any access request may be subject to a fee not exceeding £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.
