1. Statement of intent [top]
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address etc) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include competitions, and tigerprint.uk.com membership. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Tigerprint and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. You may also post personal data when you participate in certain services made available via the web site for example on message boards. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information on visitors [top]
During the course of any visit to tigerprint.uk.com, the pages you see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded to your computer (see point 3 for more on this). Most, if not all, websites do this, because cookies allow the website publisher to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the site before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Any information that is supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better service and assists us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For example: if on a previous visit you went to, say, the education pages, then we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on a second visit.
3. What is a cookie? [top]
When you enter a site your computer will automatically be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows.
Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site that have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user.
NB: Even if you haven't set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse our site anonymously until such time as you register for tigerprint.uk.com services.

4. Use and storage of your personal information [top]
When you supply any personal information to tigerprint.uk.com (e.g. for competitions, or tigerprint.uk.com membership) we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. If you are notified on a tigerprint.uk.com site that your information may be used to allow Tigerprint to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that Tigerprint may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on tigerprint.uk.com unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
In general, any information you provide to Tigerprint will only be used within Tigerprint and the Hallmark Group of Companies and by its service providers. It will never be supplied to anyone outside of the Tigerprint and the Hallmark Group of Companies without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. We will, however, co-operate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of or locate anyone breaching the Terms of Use or otherwise for the prevention or detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders. There may also be other circumstances in which we may be required by law to disclose personal information about you or your use of the website.
We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as it is necessary to do so to comply with the purpose for which it was collected (for example in order to allow you to use the service you have requested). We will remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of tigerprint.uk.com membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a tigerprint.uk.com member. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other tigerprint.uk.com services (eg competitions), that information will be held only as long as necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly.
We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. All personal data is held on a secure server hosted by Tigerprint. All personal data can only be accessed by Tigerprint.
