Privacy Policy

This website is provided by Progress Concepts Limited, based in England, and is intended for use as is.

Your data and privacy are important and we are committed to protecting your personal data and maintaining the trust and confidence of our users and visitors. We aim to be as clear as possible about how and why we use personal information about you. In particular, we want you to know that Progress Concepts is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing.

This privacy policy applies to all information collected or submitted via this website.

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so; for example, to provide our service, to communicate with you, or to help improve our service.

By using this website, you consent to our privacy policy, which should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Use.

When visiting this website, we collect non-personally identifiable information such as when you visited, what pages you looked at, information about your operating system, device and browser version.

Progress Concepts Limited will not share your information for marketing purposes with outside companies.

 

How long do we keep your personal information

Data collected from using the website such as IP address is deleted after 100 days.

 

Transferring information outside the EEA

Your personal information may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) where privacy laws may not provide protection to the same level as in the UK. Before any transfer takes place we will take steps to ensure that your personal information will be adequately protected as required by the UK Data Protection Act and that standard safeguards are in place.

 

Children’s Privacy

Our website does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take the necessary actions.
