Introduction
FreshContact uses information collected from registered customers and visitors to this website to improve the services we offer to you and to improve your online experience. We take your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy sets out details of the personal information we collect about you and the ways in which we may use that information.
When do we collect personal information?
We collect personal information from you when you register to become a FreshContact customer and when you enter any promotions or competitions on this website. You may also be asked whether you would like to participate in surveys about this website to help us improve our service. Whether you participate in these surveys or not will be up to you.
What may your personal information be used for?
If you are a FreshContact customer, we may use the personal information to:
- collect payment from you
- verify that you are a FreshContact customer if you call the helpdesk (for reasons of security, you will be asked for some of the details you provided during the registration process)
- tell you about any service related changes affecting your use of this website and any new features and functionality (e.g. the introduction of a new e-mail service or chat service)
- contact you to ask whether you would like to attend a research group to help us improve our service
If you are a FreshContact customer or you provide us with personal information in the context of a promotion or competition, we may use your personal information to:
- assess and develop FreshContact products and services
- tell you about other FA products and special offers, provided that you choose to receive this information
- tell you about any products and services offered by other companies which we think might interest you, provided that you choose to receive this information
If you choose to receive information about products and services of other companies, we may sometimes disclose your personal information to those companies. We will only do so where those companies have assured us that they will not use your personal information for any purpose other than to provide this information to you.
If you decide that you no longer want to receive information from a particular company, you should contact that company directly.
You should be aware that if you subsequently give any personal information to another company, the uses to which that information may be put will be determined by that company's privacy policy. Our policy will no longer apply.
If you are a FreshContact customer, you may at any time change your mind about receiving information from FA or other companies. If you initially choose to receive such information, and subsequently decide that you no longer wish to receive information about either our products and services or those of other companies, you can notify us online by clicking on "My Account", then under the sub-heading "Account details", selecting "Change personal details".
For your information, we process information about your use of our services (such as the amount of time you spend on-line). We mainly use this information to manage our network and for billing. However, we may also use this information for marketing FAs services which we believe may particularly interest you.
We do not disclose this information to anyone other than to our agents who process the information on our behalf. We need your consent to give you all the benefits that this processing provides and will assume we have it, unless you tell us.
