In order to provide a personalised service, we may ask you
to submit information such as your name, e-mail address, postal address and

- to the extent that we are required to do so by law

Third party websites
This Site contains links to other sites. We cannot be responsible for the
privacy policies and practices of other web sites even if you access them using
links from our website and recommend that you check the policy of each site you
visit.
In addition, if you linked to our website from a third party website, we cannot
be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners or
operators of that third party site and recommend that you check the policy of
that third party site and contact its owner or operator if you have any
concerns or questions.
Hayes Parsons Ltd is not responsible for any transaction you enter into with a
third party website even if you access them using links from our Site.
Consequently, if you purchase products or services from a third party website
your contract for such products or services will be with that third party and
not Hayes Parsons Ltd.
Security
Hayes Parsons Ltd places a great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our customers. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal data under our control. Data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
Our security and technology policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised personnel have access to user information. The blade we use to store personally identifiable information on is kept offsite in a secure environment. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, we use our best efforts to prevent this.
Log files/IP
addresses.
When you visit our Site, we automatically log your IP address (the unique
address which identifies your computer on the internet) which is automatically
recognised by our web server. We use IP addresses to help us administer the
Site and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not
link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.
Use of cookies.
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive
to store and sometimes track information about you. Most web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that. However, you may not be able to take full
advantage of a website if you do so.
Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify users and passwords and credit card information are not stored in cookies. Find out more about cookies at www.cookiecentral.com.
Where is the
information stored?
Information you send to us is stored either on a blade offsite or on our
files in our

would like to review or change the details you have supplied us with, or if you
