Privacy policy
This privacy policy applies to Ant Data Ltd’s website at
https://www.antdataltd.co.uk. We at Ant Data Ltd take your privacy seriously. This policy covers
the collection processing and other use of personal data under the Data Protection Act 1998, for
which purpose the data controller is Ant Data Ltd. By using Ant Data’s website you consent to the
policy.
We will collect personal data on this website only if it is directly provided to us by you the user,
e.g. your e-mail address, name, home or work address and telephone number, and therefore has been
provided by you with your consent. Normally you will only provide such details if you wish to sign
up for our free e-newsletter or are making a purchase from us.
Your payment information (e.g. credit card details) provided when you make a purchase from our website
is not received or stored by us. That information is processed securely and privately by the third
party payment processors that we use, for example Paypal. Ant Data will not have access to that information
at any time.
We may share your personal data with our payment processors but only for the purposes of completing the
relevant payment transaction. Such payment processors are banned from using your personal data, except
to provide these necessary payment services to us, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality
of your personal data and payment information.
We may hold and process this personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and send you
our e-newsletters from time to time, but we will not transfer, share, sell, rent or lease your personal
data to third parties. We collect and use your personal data to operate the website and deliver the
goods and services requested by you. We may send you a welcome email following your first registration/purchase.
We may periodically send service updates to you. We may also use your personal data to inform you of
other products or services available from us and our affiliates, where you have consented to be contacted
for such purposes.
As part of the services offered to you through our website, the information you provide to us may be
transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) as we use remote
website server hosts to provide the website sand our service, which may be based outside of the EEA
or use servers based outside of the EEA – this is the nature of data stored in “the Cloud”. It may
also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work one of our suppliers, e.g. our website
server host, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA. A transfer of your personal data
may happen if any of our servers are located in a country outside of the EEA or one of our service
providers is located in a country outside of the EEA.
If we transfer or store your personal data outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps with the aim
of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy
and in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. If you use our service while you are outside
the EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these
services.
The transmission of information via the internet or email is not completely secure. Although we will
do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data
transmitted to our site; any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal
data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion, or political affiliations,
without your explicit consent.
We may disclose your personal data outside of our group: (a) in the event that we sell or buy any business
or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of
such business or assets; and (b) if Ant Data’s business is bought by a third party, in which case
personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the assets to transfer to the buyer.
However any such transfer will only be on terms that the confidentiality of your personal data is
protected and that the terms of this privacy policy will continue to be complied with by the recipient.
Otherwise, we will disclose or share your personal data only if required to do so by law or in the good
faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or legal process served
on us or the website.
You have the right to opt out of our processing your personal data for marketing purposes by contacting
us at contact
@antdataltd.co.uk.
Our privacy policy is subject to the following term, which has been required by Paypal: all PayPal transactions
are subject to the PayPal Privacy Policy. Ant Data will employ reasonable administrative, technical
and physical measures to maintain the security and confidentiality of any and all PayPal data and
information, including data and information about PayPal users and PayPal. In the event that there
has been, or that there is a reasonable likelihood of, a security breach of Ant Data’s website or
systems that could result in the unauthorised disclosure of customer information, Paypal may require
Ant Data to provide Paypal with information related to any such breach.
