General:
Lickerish Ltd ("Lickerish") is committed to respecting your privacy.
We've structured our website so that, in general, you can visit our website without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to register and provide us with personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified) ("Information"), you can be assured that it will only be used for the purposes we set out below.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third party sites and may be altered at any time by Lickerish, so please check this page regularly.
Our Privacy Policy covers seven main areas:
1. Awareness, 2. Choice, 3. Accuracy & Access, 4. Security, 5. Children, 6. Cookies and 7. Oversight.
For your protection, we are registered under the Data Protection Act 1998 and have given all appropriate notifications to the Data Protection Commissioner.
1. Awareness:
Why we have a policy and where to find it: Lickerish provides this Privacy Policy to make you aware of our policy and practices on the use of your Information and the choices you can make about the way Information is collected and used. To make this Privacy Policy easy to find, we link to it from our homepage and from the bottom of every page.
Benefits of providing Information
By the registration process, Lickerish collects Information that you supply. As we say above, you can use most of this website without registering and without providing any Information about yourself. However, if you voluntarily decide to register by providing us with Information about yourself, you will have further services made available to you. If you decide not to register, some services will not be available to you.
What we collect
The types of Information collected via the registration process are: name, company, business type, address, telephone, fax number and email. In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with Information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our services and contact preferences. Also, some web pages use cookies, a data analysis technique. To learn more, see our section on Cookies below.
How we use Information
Lickerish uses your Information to better understand your needs and provide you with better and fuller service. The Information collected is stored indefinitely and is used for various functions. Specifically, we use your Information to communicate back to you, to allow you access to more of the website and to personalise our website for you. We also use your Information for marketing, providing you with information about offers and new images and services and customer relations. From time to time, we may also use your Information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market research contact. We will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.
Who we share Information with
Your Information may be retained indefinitely, and may be stored, accessed and used in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may be different from your home jurisdiction. However, Lickerish, directed by strict terms of confidentiality and restriction of use as above, may disclose your Information to associates, agents, content providers and necessary payment processors, whose policies and practices may differ from those of Lickerish, and for whom Lickerish assumes no responsibility. We also may disclose your Information as part of any sale of Lickerish company assets, a merger and in the unlikely (we hope!) event of an insolvency. As you might expect, Lickerish reserves the right to disclose your Information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary, or to protect the rights, property and safety of Lickerish, its employees, customers or the public. When you use this site, you are consenting to the disclosure of your Information to Lickerish and its associates. However, you may inform Lickerish, at any time if you wish Lickerish to stop using your Information.
Lickerish will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others.
Links
Lickerish's site contains links to other websites which may have different privacy policies. Lickerish does not accept liability or responsibility for their policies or practices and suggest you familiarise yourself with their statements before using their services.
2. Choice
Lickerish will not use or share your Information in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you with the opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we can to honour such requests.
3. Accuracy & Access
Lickerish strives to keep your Information accurate. We will provide you with access to your Information, including making every effort to provide you with online access to your registration data so that you may view, update or correct your Information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.
4. Security
Lickerish has security measures in place to protect against loss, misuse and alteration of Information under our control and is committed to ensuring the security of your Information. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of Information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Information we collect online. User databases are password protected and images copywrited and watermarked. However, data transmission on the internet is never 100% safe, so whilst Lickerish will use reasonable care and skill to protect your Information, due to these factors, we cannot guarantee the security of the Information you submit to us and therefore you do so at your own risk.
5. Children
Lickerish's site is not intended for use by children, especially those under 12 years old. If you are under 12 years of age you should not use or enter Information on this website.
