1. Our commitment to Privacy

1.1

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

2. The Information we collect

2.1

General

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on this website.

Whenever a user visits (requests) a web page or resource that resides on a server within the NOC4 network we automatically gather and log the information relating to that request and record the following items:

  • The name of the site at which the request is targeted e.g. www.noc4.co.uk
  • Your IP Address e.g. 192.168.55.105
  • The path and name of the resource you are requesting e.g. /myfolder/index.html
  • Browser identification information, namely make and version used, e.g. Internet Explorer 6.0
  • The operating system platform your browser is running on e.g. Windows XP
  • Any search engine references such as a word or phrase you typed in at Google which lead you to our site

It should be noted that the recording of such information is standard practice on virtually every single internet Web Server today.

2.2

Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information sent to a browser by a Web Server. The browser then returns that information to the Web server. This is how some Web pages "remember" your previous visits; for example, an E-Commerce site might use a cookie to remember which items you've placed in your online shopping cart. Cookies can also store user preference information, log-in data, etc

You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Typically, by accessing the browser’s help feature you can obtain information on how to prevent your browser from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our website and other websites may be degraded and some features may not work as originally intended.

2.3

Other Information we may request

On some pages, you can order products, make requests, and register to receive materials. On some pages, you may also be asked to submit information about a third party. For example, if you order a domain name on behalf of a customer.
The types of personal information collected at these pages are:

  • Your Name
  • Billing Address (for Credit Card Orders)
  • Shipping Address
  • Domain Information (New Registrations and Modifications)
  • Additional Contact Information (for Domain Registrations)
  • E-Mail Address
  • Phone Number
  • Fax Number
  • Mobile Number

For Credit/Debit Card Orders:

  • Card Number
  • Valid from Date
  • Expiration Date
  • Signature Strip Security Code
  • Authentication Code (for cards participating in Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode)
  • Issue Number

We use shopping cart features that safeguard this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted servers. SSL encodes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.

3. The way we use this information

3.1

We use this information to produce usage statistics so that we may maximize compatibility for all supported platforms, and to aid us in promoting our site on internet search engines.

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

We use the information you provide about someone else when placing an order only to ship the product and to confirm delivery. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

You can register with our website if you would like to receive our catalog as well as updates on our new products and services. Information you submit on our website will not be used for this purpose unless you fill out the registration form.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

4. Our commitment to Data Security

4.1

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

5. Our commitment to Children's Privacy

5.1

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

6. How you can access or correct your information

6.1

To access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain please contact us. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
