BasementBathroom.co.uk - Privacy Policy

Last Update: May 14, 2010

BasementBathroom.co.uk (BB) has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the subscriber/visitor) online.

1. Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure
Your use of the BB site and/or your registration for BB products and services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the BB site.

BB may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it does, BB will also revise the "last update" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, BB will seek a subscriber's prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the subscriber prior to the change. BB will notify subscribers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however, BB will not inform and obtain the consent of the subscriber, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.

A subscriber may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at any time by sending an email to info(at)garageplan(dot)co(dot)uk with the subject: Unsubscribe. Please note that, if you do, BB may suspend its provision of products and services to you. When you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any BB product and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.

2. Accountability
BB collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web site, certain "personal information" (information that personally identifies you) including but not limited to your name, email address and information about your computer hardware and software (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and referring web site addresses).

BB has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information received from its subscribers, and to respond to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also provides that BB will use appropriate contractual means to establish a comparable level of protection for personal information which is sent for processing by third parties on BB's behalf.

BB has designated responsibility for your personal information to its Privacy Officer, who ensures compliance with the principles in this Privacy Policy. Other BB individuals may be delegated to act on behalf of the Privacy Officer.

3. Purposes for Collecting Personal Information
BB collects and uses personal information for the following Identified Purposes:

(a) to understand subscriber/visitor needs regarding BB's services;

(b) to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our subscribers/visitors;

(d) to communicate with subscribers and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform of upgrades and other products and services available from BB, its affiliates and third parties;

(e) to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements and offers from BB and third parties;

(f) to bill accounts and maintain payment records;

(g) to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request;

(h) to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or policies that govern your use of the BB site or any BB product or service;

(i) to protect the services, products or rights of BB, including but not limited to the security or integrity of the BB site; and

(j) to identify and resolve technical problems concerning BB's site, products and services.

BB also uses personal information in an aggregate form (i.e., not individually attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

4. Limiting the Collection of Personal Information
BB limits its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. BB does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen.

When you visit the BB web site, a cookie may be placed on your computer or the cookie may be read if you have visited the BB site previously. BB uses cookies to allow BB to determine which products and services you have already purchased so that BB does not provide redundant information to you, and, if you are an BB affiliate, to track BB sales made to customers referred by you so that you can receive compensation under our affiliate program. If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the BB web site, you may not be able to view all the text on the screens, or to experience a personalised visit, or to subscribe to certain service and product offerings on the BB site.

5. Disclosure, Processing and Retention BB does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except:

(a) to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);

(b) to BB's employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and agents, acting on BB's behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;

(c) as necessary if BB has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with BB's rights or property, other users of BB's web site, products or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and

(d) to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company. In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that BB or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, or in any other country in which BB or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), BB will keep your personal information in its archives. Your information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove BB's compliance with any applicable law.

6. Accuracy of Personal Information
BB will use reasonable efforts to keep subscribers personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate subscriber decisions based on such information. Subscribers are responsible for informing BB about changes to their personal information. You can do this by sending an email to our privacy department at info(at)garageplan(dot)co(dot)uk. BB will use new or updated personal information it receives from subscribers to update its own records.

7. Security Safeguards
BB will use reasonable efforts to protect subscribers' personal information.

8. Access to Personal Information
BB will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in your file, if you so request by sending an email to the Privacy Officer.

If BB is not able to provide access to some aspect of a subscribers's personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or attorney-client privileged communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

Subscribers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate, by contacting BB or the Privacy Officer as described above. BB will promptly correct such personal information.

The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

We also use third party advertisements on basementbathroom.co.uk to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google's DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests ("interest based targeting"). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses "non personally identifiable information". It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting: http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
