1. Information We May Collect

Much of the information contained on this Website can be accessed anonymously, and we do not acquire any personally identifiable information in this case. Some content is in areas restricted to current customers or subscribers, and we will require information about an individual before establishing an account: this includes but may not be limited to first name, last name, contact telephone number and email address, job title, employer and other contact information. Our servers record the date and time of registered user activity on our Website.

Should you decide to place an on-line order directly with Quira Limited, your transaction will be securely processed by Paypal. The services provided by Paypal are secure payment systems, and at no time do Quira employees see any of the payment details submitted. We will process your order once we have received confirmation of your successful payment from Paypal. Quira Limited will not be responsible or liable for the unavailability of Paypal systems, or for any errors or delays caused by using Paypal on-line payment systems, or for issues encountered when using third party websites not controlled by Quira Limited.

Should you decide to place an order via the Quira iTunes App Store, then this transaction and related payments are entirely managed and handled by Apple, and are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

2. Cookies

We can confirm that accessing certain areas of our Website may involve the use of "cookies" if you choose to ask your web browser to remember you login details for a future visit. Your browser may ask you whether you wish to accept cookies or not, and all browsers offer the option to delete stored cookies on demand.

3. E-Mail Communications

Quira Limited cannot guarantee the security of open, unencrypted email communications that it sends to or receives from you. We cannot accept any liability for any email communication that is infected by a virus or other malware, and you agree to take responsibility for appropriate virus scanning before opening such messages. Should you require us to engage in encrypted email communications with you, let us know in advance so that we can agree acceptable protocols with you.

4. Information Protection and Usage

We take all reasonable steps, as detailed within the controls associated with the Information Security standard ISO/IEC 27001:2005 to properly process, store and dispose of your personal information. We may use your personal information to provide you with information on our products, services and events, either by email or by conventional post. You have the right to "opt-out" of such notifications at any time, and we will process such requests within twenty working days of receipt.

5. Your Rights

Under the Data Protection Act, you have a number of rights in connection with your personal information. You may, at any time, request us to provide you with copies of all information that we hold about you: a small charge of £10.00 is payable to Quira Limited for the provision of this service. You also have the right to notify us of any inaccurate information that we may hold about you, and request that we correct it. We will process such corrections within twenty days of receipt. Inaccurate information does not include, for example, address or contact detail changes that we would not have been able to ascertain without you having notified us first.
