What information does Text4Cocktails gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your experience at Text4Cocktails. Here are types of information we gather:
- Information you give us
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. You provide this information when you search, participate in a competition or forum or communicate with customer service, make an order. As a result of those actions you might supply us with such information as your name, address, post code, mobile or other telephone number, date of birth, gender, information on how you use our products and services (such as type, date, time, location and information on your browsing activity when visiting our websites) and any other information with respect of your use of our products and services. We might also ask for other specific information from time to time. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future use of the website for you, improving our site and communicating with you. We also use this information for marketing purposes as outlined in this agreement.
- Automatic information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies” and “webbugs”, and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Text4Cocktails. Third parties might also do this on our site. Examples of information we collect and analyse using technology which is not readily apparent include the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet; log in; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system and platform; purchase history; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL), click stream to, through and from our website, including date and time; cookie number; pages viewed or searched for; your site history, and phone number used to contact us. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. We want you to be aware that these tools exist.
- E-mail and SMS communications
To help us make e-mails and SMS more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail or SMS from Text4Cocktails if your device supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail, SMS or other mail from us, please let us know by Contacting us.
- Information from other sources
For reasons such as improving personalisation of our service (for example providing special offers that we think will interest you), we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
- What are Cookies and Webbugs?
Cookies are pieces of information that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser when you are viewing the website. These pieces of information allow the website to act on information that will make your use of this site more rewarding. We use cookies to enable our system to recognise your browser and to provide features such as easier login and greater security and for storing information about you between visits. None of these cookies contain your password, mobile phone number or address details in text format.
The “help” portion of a toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to protect your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However if you turn cookies off you won’t have access to some of the features that make the site more efficient and services may not function properly.
Webbugs are minute images (commonly 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that transmit data on use of the internet back to a computer specified by the webbug. Information fed back by web bugs is often similar to the sort of information you will find in a cookie, such as the sites that you have recently visited and potentially the characteristics of the machine that you were using. You can find out more about webbugs by visiting this address – that site also tells you what you can do to find out what a webbug is doing or how to stop it coming to your computer altogether. Again please remember that if you do not accept webbugs you might not have access to some of the features that make the site more efficient and services may not function properly. We also cannot guarantee that any anti-webbug software you install will not cause harm to your computer.
Does Text4Cocktails share the information received?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we use personal information in a limited number of ways. We do not share your information with ant third party for any reason.
How secure is the information about me?
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our members is of utmost concern to us. We take technical, contractual, administrative and physical steps to protect all of the member information we hold.
What choices do I have?
You can request at any time that Text4Cocktails do not send future e-mails or SMS to you by contacting us.
The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether.
You can visit sites on the internet that will tell you more about webbugs and what to do about them.
There are products which allow anonymous browsing.
