This Privacy Policy applies to www.minibeast.co. It has been approved and provided by the legal advice resource Legal Centre. We may update this policy from time to time — please check back periodically for changes.

1. Information collection

Operation of this site may require collection and processing of the following data:

• Visit details to our site or any resources used on our site, including location and traffic data, weblogs or other communication information.
• Information given to us when you contact us for any reason.
• Data offered by filled-out forms on our site, such as registration or purchase.

2. Cookies

Our advertisers and us may collect information in regard to your computer for our services. The information is gained in a statistical manner for our use or advertisers on our site. Data gathered will not identify you personally — it is strictly aggregate statistical data about our visitors and how they used our resources on the site.

No identifying personal information will be shared at any time via cookies. Data gathering can also relate to general online use through a cookie file. When used, cookies are automatically placed on your hard drive where information transferred to your computer can be found. These cookies are designed to help us correct and improve our site’s services or products for you.

You may elect to decline all cookies via your computer. Your browser has an option to enable the declining of cookies. If you do decline cookie downloads you may be limited to certain areas of our site, as some parts require cookies. Any of our advertisers may also use cookies. We are not responsible for cookies downloaded from advertisements — they are downloaded only if you click on the advertisement.

3. Your information and how it is used

Primarily, we collect and store data about you to help us provide better service and products. We may use your information for the following purposes:

• To fulfil requests for information about our services and products, and to communicate about other products or services you may find of interest, only when consent has been provided.
• To honour contracts we make with you, which may require contact or use of your information.
• To notify you of changes to our website, products or services that could affect our service to you.
• To communicate information on products or services similar to those of an existing consumer purchase.
• To offer you information about unrelated products or services you may be interested in, where you have consented to such communication and data use.
• To contact new consumers only where consent has been granted, and only for those communications you have granted.

An opportunity for declining your consent is provided on our site. We do not reveal identifiable information about you to our advertisers, though we may share statistical visitor information with them.

4. Storage of personal data

We may have to transfer data outside the European Economic Area for storing and processing. Processing staff operating outside this area may belong to our website or a supplier. When you submit payment details, personal information or other electronic communication you agree to the transfer for storage and processing. We take all necessary security steps in agreement with this Privacy Policy.

Information submitted by you is stored on secure servers. Payment or transaction details will be encrypted. Transmission of data on the internet is never guaranteed to be completely safe — you are at your own risk if you elect to transmit any data. If offered, you may create a password, but you are responsible for keeping it confidential.

5. Information sharing

If necessary, we may share personal information with our group members including subsidiaries, holding companies and their subsidiaries, only when applicable.

Third party disclosure may be necessary where:

• A sale of our business or its assets, in full or part, to a third party requires personal data sharing.
• We are legally asked to share and disclose data details.
• Sharing assists in reducing credit risk and fraud protection.

6. Third party links

Links on our site may belong to third parties. These websites have their own Privacy Policy, which you agree to when you link to the site. We do not accept liability for these policies or links, as we have no control over third party sites.

7. Contacting us
