Privacy Policy
The following statement explains the policy of CompAir regarding the information you provide to us.
1. Statement of intent
You may be asked to submit personal business information about yourself (e.g. name, title and email address etc) in order to receive or use services on our website. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable CompAir to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such information, we will treat that information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Our services are designed to give you the information that you want to receive and CompAir will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.
2. Information on visitors
During the course of any visit to www.compair.com or other CompAir websites, the pages you see, along with a cookie (a piece of information transmitted from server to browser), are downloaded to your computer. Most websites do this, because cookies provide practical information to the website publisher such as 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.
Non-personal data regarding the visitors to our site is gathered using cookies and code that is embedded in the site. Both the cookies and the embedded code provide non-personal statistical information about visits to pages on the site, the duration of individual page view, paths taken by visitors through the site, data on visitors' screen settings and other general information. CompAir uses this type of information, as with that obtained from other cookies used on the site, to help us improve our services to users.
To find and control your cookies, you can use the process set out below in point 6. To disable the embedded code, you will need to send requests directly to CompAir.
3. What is a cookie?
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 options, of course, means that certain 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 CompAir services.
4. Use and storage of your information
When you supply any information to CompAir, we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. In general, any information you provide to CompAir will only be used internally. It will never be supplied to anyone outside CompAir without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it.
Also, if any individual or organisation posts or sends offensive or inappropriate content to CompAir or its websites, or otherwise engages in any disruptive behaviour considered to be serious and/or repeated, CompAir reserves the right to utilise whatever information that is available to it to stop such behaviour.
We will hold your information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met. For safety reasons, however, CompAir may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member names, times and dates) for a period of six months. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you are notified by CompAir that your information may be used to allow us to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that CompAir 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 service improvements, 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.
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that CompAir holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. Please address requests to the Data Protection Dept, CompAir UK Limited, Claybrook Drive, Washford Industrial Estate, Redditch, Worcestershire, England B98 0DS with a cheque for £15.00 + VAT (£17.63) to cover administration costs.
