When you sign up to participate in or receive a service from Decentric, such as newsletters, updates, competitions, subscriptions, ordering products, offers, live chats, message boards, surveys or online registration we may ask for personal information about you, which we may collect and process. This can consist of information such as your name, e-mail address, postal address, telephone or mobile number or date of birth. Different services or web pages may ask for different personal information. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Decentric and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. We may also use and collect information about your computer, including where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type for some of our website services including for system administration, and to report aggregate information to our advertisers (see section 3: How will Decentric use the information they collect about me? and section 12: Cookies Policy below).

3. HOW WILL DECENTRIC USE THE INFORMATION THEY COLLECT ABOUT ME?
Decentric will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following: for service administration purposes, which means that Decentric may contact you for reasons related to the service you have signed up for, as set out in section 5 below (e.g. to provide you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular service has been suspended for maintenance); to notify you of changes to our service; to personalise or improve the way Decentric content and advertising is presented to you online: Decentric may collect your IP address (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet) and place cookies (see section 12: Cookies Policy below) for the purpose of improving our sites and enhancing your user experience, sometimes including the display of selected ads which are appropriate to your browsing pattern. This information is not used to develop a personal profile of you; IP addresses may also be used to identify the location of users, the number of visits from different countries and also to block disruptive use; to analyse and improve the services offered by a Decentric website, e.g. to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience; See section 12: Cookies Policy below for further details of this activity by Decentric; to manage our competitions and contact the winners; to meet product orders or requests for services or information; to process payments; and to keep our records up to date; where you have specifically consented to be contacted for these purposes, to send you direct marketing by telephone, post or email about special offers and current or new products that you may be interested in; to enable other people or businesses to carry out work on our behalf; and where you have given us your permission, to pass your information to carefully selected organisations to allow them to tell you about their special offers or products and services that may be of interest to you. Where Decentric proposes using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for your use other than as listed above.
4. HOW IS MY DATA STORED AND WILL DECENTRIC SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH ANYONE ELSE?
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the collection of your e-mail address on registration and/or the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely, and in accordance with this privacy policy. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enable you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. We may disclose your data to any associated company. We may disclose your personal information to third parties: 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; or if we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by us about our customers may be one of the transferred assets. We will only disclose your data to third party data processors with your consent or where we need to do so in order to provide a service. The data processors to whom we may pass your data will be appropriately contracted third parties. Otherwise, we will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in section 7: Offensive or inappropriate content on Decentric's websites below. Decentric will require all third party data processors to whom your information is disclosed to comply strictly with its instructions and Decentric will require that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes. Where we share your information with third party companies which are situated outside the EEA we will ensure they treat your information with the same protection we do.
5. WHEN WILL DECENTRIC CONTACT ME?
Decentric may contact you in relation to the functioning of any service you have signed up for in order to ensure that Decentric can deliver the services to you; in relation to any contribution you have made to any Decentric website, message board or other service; where you have opted to receive newsletters or other correspondence; to invite you to participate in surveys about Decentric services (participation is always voluntary); to carry out obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and Decentric; and for marketing purposes where you have specifically agreed to this (see section 6: Will I be contacted for marketing purposes? below).
6. WILL I BE CONTACTED FOR MARKETING PURPOSES?
Decentric won't contact you for marketing purposes, or promote new services to you unless you agree to be contacted for these purposes.
7. OFFENSIVE OR INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT ON DECENTRIC'S WEBSITE
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on the Decentric website, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour, Decentric may use your personal information to stop such behaviour. Where Decentric reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of the law (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), Decentric may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
8. WHAT IF I AM A USER AGED 16 OR UNDER?
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission before you provide personal information to Decentric. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant service. If you wish to cancel your registration with any of Decentric's websites, you may do so by following the "unsubscribe" instructions on the relevant website. If you change your profile to opt-out of receiving communications, your record may stay on the system so we can ensure that we do not contact you in the future. Where you contribute to a Decentric service or website, Decentric will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted.
10. CAN I FIND OUT WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DECENTRIC HOLDS ABOUT ME?
Under the Data Protection Act you have the right to request a copy of the personal information Decentric holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you and we will require you to prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved photographic identification. We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.

12. COOKIES POLICY
a. What is a cookie? A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier, that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer, and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website or third party service provider used by the website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website or third party service provider to access the cookies it has already sent to you, and not the cookies sent to you by other sites or other third party service providers. Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests. They also enable us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns, to store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interest, to speed up your searches, and to recognise you when you return to our website. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the Decentric features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. b. How does Decentric use cookies? Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse your profile when you visit and help us to provide you with a better user experience. Certain other areas of Decentric websites may use cookies for a specific reason - for example, to help an online game work effectively on your device. If this is the case, the local terms for that area of the website will make this clear and you should refer to those local terms for additional information.
