COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

Certain non-personal information about Chicken Cottage Website visits is recorded by the standard operation of the Internet servers on which Chicken Cottage Websites are hosted. The non-personal information that we collect may include IP addresses, your mobile device’s unique ID, the type of mobile device or operating system in use (e.g., Macintosh or Windows), the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Internet Explorer), the number and frequency of visitors to Chicken Cottage Websites, and the site the visitor was on immediately before visiting the Chicken Cottage Website. When you view Chicken Cottage Websites or use Chicken Cottage website features, we may collect certain non-personal information from you by using small text files known as cookies. We use cookies for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our websites, to determine the number of unique visitors to Chicken Cottage websites, to ascertain which Chicken Cottage website pages they visit, and to conduct internal reviews of our sites. We may associate information we collect via cookies with the personal information we collect online. We may use the combined information, for example, to personalize your experience on the Chicken Cottage website or to personalize marketing communications we may send to you. We explain the personal information we collect online in the “Collection of Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy. You are always free to decline cookies, but in doing so you may not be able to use certain features on our website. The “help” segment of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to configure your browser to not accept new cookies, how to have the browser inform you when you receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies from your hard drive.

We may also use web beacons to count page visits by our users, to access our cookies, and otherwise to improve your experience on Chicken Cottage Websites. If you have registered to receive emails from us, we may also use web beacons in our emails to let us know which emails you have opened and acted upon, allowing us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please follow the instructions in the email.

Web beacons also help us manage online advertising, and are provided by our ad management Service Providers. These files enable our ad management Service Providers to recognize a unique cookie on your browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring visitors to our Chicken Cottage website. The cookie was placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with a Service Provider. With both cookies and web beacons, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. Our advertising Service Providers also use anonymous information about users’ visits to this and other websites in order to deliver advertisements online that may be of interest to them.

HOW WE WILL USE THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
We will use your personal and business information in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the obligations under any agreement we have entered into with you.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • In relation to “special categories” of particularly sensitive information, for example about your health and marital status, with your consent, or, where you are not capable of giving your consent but it is necessary for us to use the information to protect your interests.
  • Where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests).
  • Where it is needed in the public interest or for official purposes.
  • We will only use your personal and business information for the purposes for which we collected it and reasons that are compatible with that purpose.

DATA SHARING, DATA SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION

We may have to share your data with third parties, including other professionals involved in our business, our regulators where necessary and IT service providers. We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal or business data for their own purposes. We require third parties to respect the security of your data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal and business information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. Details of these measures are available on request. We limit access to your personal and business information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of this where we are legally required to do so.

We will only retain your personal and business information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We also require to keep your information in archived form in order to defend our legal rights. This may be for the period during which legal claims may be made under applicable law. We have policies and procedures in place to make sure we delete information no longer needed for any of these purposes. Details are available on request.

  • Request erasure of your personal or business information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
  • Object to processing of your personal or business information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal and business information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal and business information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal or business information to another party.

To assert any of these rights please contact us in writing. You will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive.

To withdraw your consent, please contact us in writing.
