Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Drucegrove Ltd. collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Drucegrove Ltd.’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Drucegrove Ltd.’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Drucegrove Ltd. may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Drucegrove Ltd. also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for visitors and for users using our live chat. Drucegrove Ltd. only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Drucegrove Ltd.’s websites choose to interact with Drucegrove Ltd. in ways that require Drucegrove Ltd. to gather personally-identifying information.

Who do we share your information with?

We won’t pass on your personal information to third parties except in accordance with this policy and our Terms and Conditions or where we are required to disclose that information in order to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How do we protect your information?

The security of your information is really important to us. Any information sent to us is protected using robust security methods. The methods we use are industry-standard ensuring data is safeguarded whilst being sent over unprotected communications paths such as the internet. When it reaches us, we store it securely and only provide access to it by those authorised. Although we safeguard your personal information once received, Virgin Media cannot guarantee the safety of any personal information you transmit to us using online methods.

Our security measures include:

Encryption of data where appropriate
Regular penetration testing of systems
Security controls which protect the entire Drucegrove Information Technology infrastructure from external attack and unauthorised access
Internal policies setting out our data security approach
Training for employees on security and privacy

How do we keep your information?

We collect and store your data safely and only for the time strictly necessary to operate services provided to you by Drucegrove and/or based on the reasons that we process your personal data. Afterwards it’ll either be destroyed or anonymised.

When determining the relevant time we store information periods, we take into account factors such as:

Legal obligation(s) requiring data to be kept for certain periods of time
(Potential) disputes
Guidelines issued by the UK’s data protection authority.

A few examples for how long we’ll keep your data:

Unless you ask us not to, we store your generic details (i.e. name, surname, contact details) for up to five years after you stop being our customer, to contact you just in case you need assistance with our products or services.
We keep your billing data for 7 years, for tax purposes.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We do not make use of external adverts in our website.

Links To External Sites

Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites, products or services.
