THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information from you when you complete our on-line forms, by means of 'persistent cookies' when you use our site, and in the form of 'traffic data'.

On-line forms

We collect information you give us when you subscribe for when requesting brochures and e-newsletters. We require only the information we need to provide a service to you, such as your name, postal address, telephone number and email address. Where we would like more information to help us improve our services, over and above the basic required information, it will be clear that your response is voluntary and you are free not to provide us with more information if you would prefer not to do so.

Persistent cookies

Cookies are small text files which are often stored on your computer's hard drive by websites you visit to enable the site to 'remember' who you are. We use a type of cookie called a 'persistent cookie' to enhance your experience while using our website. These persistent cookies store your user name and a unique ID but do not contain any information that personally identifies you, such as a name or address. We use persistent cookies when you log onto our site to stop you having to re-type information and they remain on your hard disk until you delete them.

Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies and you should be able to deny or accept them if you wish by adjusting the settings on your browser. This will however affect your use of the areas of our site that use persistent cookies, such as the login areas. We do not use 'spyware', ‘adware’, ‘malware’, ‘parasiteware’ which are web bugs or hidden identifiers or any other programs to gain access to information, store hidden information or to trace your activities. For more information about cookies and instructions on how to adjust your browser settings to restrict or disable cookies, see the IAB website at http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

TRAFFIC DATA

We do keep a record of traffic data which is logged automatically by our web host servers, and which we analyse. This includes your IP address, the website you visited before ours, the website you visit after leaving our site and which pages you visit on our site. We do not store or analyse this traffic data in a way that identifies any individual.

What we do with your information How we use it

We use your information to provide you with that which you have requested. If you ask us to, we will also use your details to send you information about other products and services that may be of interest to you.

You may ask us to remove you from our mailing lists at any time by writing to us via the contact page or email us at mail@www.picturesofpersia.com with the subject as “Unsubscribe”.

WHEN WE SHARE IT

We may disclose your information to third parties in certain circumstances but we will not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

We may share your information with another organisation that buys our company or our assets, or with another organisation from which we acquire a company or business, and in the course of any preceding negotiations with that organisation, which may or may not lead to a sale.

We may share your information with our funders or potential funders, such as our bank and with our professional advisors who have a reasonable need to see it.

We may share your information with any group companies of ours so that they can provide any products and services to you where you have personally requested them or where we feel such information is necessary to keep you informed of any products or services that they believe will be of interest to you.

We may provide anonymous aggregated data to reputable third parties on a commercial basis.

We will give third party providers who supply services to us, or who process information on our behalf, incidental access to your information but will always take steps to ensure their security measures are adequate to protect your information.

We will disclose your information to enforcement authorities if asked to do so, or to a third party in the context of actual or threatened legal proceedings or if otherwise required to do so by law.

HOW WE KEEP IT SECURE

Only authorised personnel and contractors have access to your information.

We will keep your information secure by taking appropriate technical and organisational measures against its unauthorised or unlawful processing and against its accidental loss, destruction or damage.

We will keep you on our mailing lists until you ask us to remove you from them.
