We take your privacy very seriously. We will ensure that all such information is processed fairly and lawfully, in accordance with current UK legislation and we aim to meet current internet best practices, including but not limited to the (GDPR) Data Protection Act 2018. The following statement sets out our policy regarding the personal information which we collect through the barcodedata.co.uk website.

Bar Code Data Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "we" or "us") is committed to protecting the personal data that you share with us. In doing so, we will act in accordance with our obligations under applicable laws, and will ensure our staff adhere to the highest standards of data security and confidentiality.

Before collecting your personal data we will identify ourselves and inform you of the purposes for which the data is being collected.

We may collect and process your personal data in connection with the fulfilment of our contractual obligations to you, managing and administering your accounts (if applicable), staff recruitment and development and ensuring our compliance with applicable laws. Provided that you have indicated your agreement to such use, we will also use your information to offer to you those of our products and/or services that we feel may be of interest to you.

IP ADDRESSES AND USE OF COOKIES:

For system administration purposes we may collect information about your computer including your IP address, operating system and browser type.

We may also obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Such information will be statistical data and will not identify any individual. You can accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. If you would like to do this, please see the help menu of your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our website(s) if cookies are disabled.

DISCLOSURE AND TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA:

For the purposes outlined above, we may disclose your personal data to other Bar Code Data Ltd Group companies and to our authorised dealers and agents, (collectively "the Third Parties"). Such disclosure may involve the transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). By providing us with your personal data, you explicitly consent to such transfers.

Although some countries outside the EEA may not require the same level of legal protection for personal data as within the EEA, we will ensure that the Third Parties have introduced adequate security measures and will not process your personal data other than following our specific written instructions. The Bar Code Data Ltd Group companies in Europe observe a version of this statement, and the Bar Code Data Ltd Group companies domiciled in other regions have also implemented strict personal data protection programmes.

In certain limited circumstances, we may be obliged to disclose your personal data to relevant regulatory or other government bodies per the applicable law.

DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION:

We have implemented security policies and technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or alteration, and from unauthorised disclosure or access. We will at all times provide a level of security appropriate to the risk represented by the nature of the personal data to be protected and the purposes for which it is to be processed.

The personal data we collect from you will be retained only until the purpose(s) for which it was collected have been fulfilled, whereupon such data will be deleted and destroyed in a confidential manner.

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy or privacy statement will be posted on this page. A written hard copy will also be available upon request to the address below.
