1. Introduction

This policy covers the Insight (UK) Ltd’s use of personal information that Insight (UK) Ltd collects when you use insightuk.co.uk. The policy also gives you information about cookies; Insight (UK) Ltd and third parties’ use of cookies; and how you may reject such cookies.

From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive information from our website. Such services include newsletters, brochures and product information.

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Insight (UK) Ltd and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal information Insight (UK) Ltd will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

2. Visitor Information

During the course of any visit to insightuk.co.uk, the pages you see, along with the short text file called a ‘cookie’, are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our Electronic Tagging pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight Electronic Tagging information on your second and subsequent visits.

3. What is a cookie?

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 the insightuk.co.uk features. Each browser is different, so check the ‘Help’ menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse the insightuk.co.uk anonymously until such time as you wish to register for insightuk.co.uk services. For further information on cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org

4. Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information to insightuk.co.uk we have a legal obligation towards you in the way we use that 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.

In general, any information you provide Insight (UK) Ltd will only be used with Insight (UK) Ltd and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to insightuk.co.uk or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on insightuk.co.uk Insight (UK) Ltd can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school email/internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

We will hold your personal information on our systems. For safety reasons, Insight (UK) Ltd may store messaging transcript date (including message content, member names, times and dates) arising from the use of insightuk.co.uk. Where personal information is held for people who request brochure information or sales enquiries, that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the request is complied with. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection ACT 1998.

If you are notified on the insightuk.co.uk site that your information may be used to allow Insight (UK) Ltd to contact you for ‘information provision purposes’, this means that Insight (UK) Ltd may contact for a number of purposes related to the request you made. For example, we may wish to provide you with further information on the particular product/service that relates to your original enquiry. We may contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the products/services or new product/services on insightuk.co.uk unless you specifically disagree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later date in writing to Insight (UK) Ltd.

5. Access to your personal information
