Privacy Policy
This policy covers all users who register to use the bdc.co.uk website. It is not necessary to register in order to gain access to the searching facilities of the site, but we may restrict access to certain areas.
The bdc.co.uk website is operated by BDC 2008 Limited. We are committed to protecting your privacy when you are using our online services.
Notice
During our registration process, we ask for personal information which both identifies you and enables us to communicate with you. To help us prevent fraud, please be aware that we may make searches about you at credit reference agencies for the purpose of verifying your identity. These agencies will supply us with information, including information from the Electoral Register. The fact that we have requested an identity check is recorded by these agencies, though be assured that the searches will not be seen, or used by lenders to assess your ability to obtain credit.
Please also note that we may cross reference the information you provide us with data from a specialist anti-fraud third party with a view to stopping fraudulent transactions before they occur.
We will use the information you provide only for the following purposes:
- To send updates regarding the status of your orders
- To send you newsletters and details of offers and promotions in which we believe you will be interested
- To improve the content, design and layout of the bdc.co.uk website and to facilitate knowledge management
- To understand the interests and buying behaviour of our registered users
- To perform other such general marketing and promotional activities focused on our products and services.
This privacy policy only covers the bdc.co.uk website at http://www.bdc.co.uk. Other links within this site to other websites are not covered by this policy. We may continue to use your personal information for a period after you cease being a registered user in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Consent and Choice
If you choose not to register or not provide personal information, you may still visit the bdc.co.uk website but you will not be able to access the restricted areas available to registered users.
Access
We have provided an administration service (my account) where you can review your personal information at any time to ensure it is correct and current. You will be able to update, correct, change or delete inaccurate details. You may also change your choice of opting in or out of marketing and promotional activities, although you may continue to receive mailings for a short period while your change is being processed. You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information on payment of a small fee.
Security
We have taken appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is not unlawfully processed. bdc.co.uk uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, including "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. bdc.co.uk treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. However, no information transferred over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by users inside and outside the company.
