|
|

|
1.1 Information is gathered in two ways:
|
|
|
|
(1) indirectly (e.g. using website technology or technology when you use a
|
|
Telegraph application for a mobile device); and
|
|
|
|
(2) directly (e.g. when you sign up to create a Telegraph.co.uk profile,
|
|
download a mobile device application or return coupons published in our
|
|
newspapers).
|
|
|
|
1.2. When responding to promotions, offers etc. by postcard, if you do not

|
|
2. **What information do we gather?**
|
|
|
|
2.1 We gather information that relates to, and can identify you (e.g. your
|
|
name and address) and information that does not identify you (e.g. the
|
|
location of your device when interacting with one of our mobile device
|
|
applications).
|
|
|
|
3. **Use of your information**
|
|
|
|
3.1 We might use your personal information to:
|
|
|
|
(1) remember you when you visit our website and track your browsing patterns
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
(2) ensure any products or services you receive are correctly administered.
|
|
|
|
(3) log your location when you interact with one of our applications for a
|
|
mobile device.
|
|
|
|
(4). contact you by mail or telephone to let you know about any of our

|
|
third parties) if you give us permission.
|
|
|
|
(5) ensure materials on the website are presented in the most effective manner
|
|
for you and your computer.
|
|
|
|
(6) collate and log numeric internet addresses to improve the website and to
|
|
monitor website usage.
|
|
|
|
4. **Accessing and updating your personal information**
|
|
|
|
4.1 You can update your details and marketing preferences by accessing your
|
|

|
|
or by writing to us at Data Department, Victory House, Meeting House Lane,

|
|
|
|
5. **Cookies**
|
|
|
|
5.1 A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to the web
|
|
browser, which enable the web server to collect information from the browser.
|
|
We use cookies to remember you when you visit this website to keep track of
|
|
your browsing patterns and to build up a profile of how you and other users
|
|
use the website. Find out more about the use of cookies on
|
|
[http://www.cookiecentral.com][3].
|
|
|
|
5.2 Most browsers allow you to turn off cookies. If you want to know how to do
|
|
this please look at the "help" menu on your browser. However, switching off
|
|
cookies may restrict your use of the website and/or delay or affect the way in
|
|
which the website operates. Telegraph.co.uk uses cookies as part of our
|
|
commenting system. Please ensure cookies are switched on on your browser if
|
|
you wish to comment on the website.
|
|
|
|
6. **Third party advertising cookies**
|
|
|
|
6.1 Most of the advertisements you see on the website are generated by third
|
|
parties. Some of these third parties generate their own cookies to track how
|
|
many people have seen a particular advertisement (or use the services of third
|
|
parties to do this), and to track how many people have seen it more than once.
|
|
These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used
|
|
for statistical purposes, for example, in providing you with advertisements
|
|
that are more relevant to your interests. Some of the information gleaned from
|
|
third party cookies will be aggregated with other anonymous information for
|
|
statistical purposes. The third party companies that generate these cookies
|
|
have their own, very strict, privacy policies but we don't have access to
|
|
these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role to play
|
|
in these cookies at all (although we may use statistical information arising
|
|
from these third party cookies and provided to us by third parties, to improve
|
|
the targeting of advertisements to users of the website).
|
|
|
|
6.2 If you would like to disable "third party" cookies generated by
|
|
advertisers or providers of targeted advertising services, you can turn them
|
|
off by going to the third party's website and getting them to generate a one-
|
|
time "no thanks" cookie that will stop any further cookies being written to
|
|
your machine. Here are links to the two main third party advertising platforms
|
|
we use, each of which have instructions on how to do this:
|
|
|
|
[http://www.doubleclick.com/us/about_doubleclick/privacy/ad-cookie/][4]
|
|
|
|
[http://www.revenuescience.com/site/privacy.asp][5]
|
|
|
|
6.3 You can also visit the trade body representing these advertising bodies
|
|
for more information on how to opt out of these cookies:
|
|
[http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp][6]
|
|
|
|
7. **Security**
|
|
|
|
7.1 The password you provide when registering with the website is encrypted to
|
|
ensure protection against unauthorised access to your personal information.
|
|
|
|
7.2 We invest in high-quality security and do our utmost to protect user
|
|
privacy. No data transmission over the Internet can be entirely secure, and
|
|
therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and/or
|
|
use of the website. Any information that you send is at your own risk and may
|
|
be read by others. However once we have received your personal information we
|
|
use strict procedures to protect the security of your personal information.
|
|
|
|
8. **Disclosing your information**
|
|
|
|
8.1 We may disclose your personal information if we are approached by a
|
|
potential buyer of our business, if we required to do so by law or in good-
|
|
faith believing such action is necessary to comply with the law.
|
|
|
|
8.2 We sometimes share your personal information with third parties who are
|
|
our subcontractors or providers of various products and services on our behalf
|
|
e.g. the providers of the services available on our "Offers" page:
|
|
[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/offers/][7].
|
|
|
|
8.3 We never sell personal information, or pass it to third parties for
|
|
marketing purposes without your permission.
|
|
|
|
9. **Where we store your personal information**
|
|
|
|
9.1 The personal information that we collect from you may be sent and stored
|
|
outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") in order to carry out the
|
|
activities listed in "Use of Your Information".
|
|
|
|
10. **Changes to this Policy**
|
|
|
|
10.1 If we change our Policy, we will post the changes on this page. Please
|
|
check the website regularly for any changes to this Policy.
|
|
|
|
11. **If you don't feel we're adhering to this Policy, what should you do? **
|
|
|
|
11.1 If you believe that we have not adhered to this Policy, please notify us
|
|
by email at [data.protection@telegraph.co.uk][2] and we will try to solve the
|
|
problem promptly
|
|
