ITP Online Privacy Policy

ITP Group Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries (together "ITP") are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We've structured our web sites so that you can opt to visit ITP on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information if you so choose.

Once you do choose to provide us with any information by which you can be identified ("personally identifiable information") you can be assured that ITP will only use this information in accordance with the data protection principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 and as set out below.

Awareness.

ITP provides this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy, practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on all ITP home pages.

Whenever ITP requests you to provide personally identifiable information you will see the information padlock icon. This symbol is a shortcut to our Online Privacy Statement.

What Data ITP Collects.

On some ITP web sites, you can make requests, order products or services and register to receive information. The types of personally identifiable information collected at these pages are your name, contact and billing details, transaction, and credit card information. The details of the security measures protecting this data is available later in this statement.

In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our products, and more detailed contact preferences. Some electronic newsletters record anonymous data about articles you have expressed interest in.

Some ITP web pages use cookies, a data analysis technique.

How ITP Uses Cookies.

A cookie is a piece of text asking permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. The purpose of a cookie is to help us analyse web traffic or let us know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. For example, when you visit an electronic store, a cookie makes it easy to shop by allowing you to drop things into a shopping cart; the cart itself is not the cookie, the cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your cart versus others' in use at the same time.

ITP uses traffic log cookies to identify what pages are being used and which ones aren't. This helps us aggregate and analyse data about web page traffic and make improvements to ITP web sites to better meet customer needs.

A few ITP web sites use temporary cookies as part of the customer web navigation experience, tracking unique IDs for that particular web site session only. Examples are product registration sites. This cookie, by itself, only tells us that a previous ITP visitor has returned. If you deny the cookie, you can still use the site anonymously. Overall, cookies help us give you a better web site to use, by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis. ITP wants to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you, other than the data you chose to share with us. This practice is strictly enforced. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our customers, we believe that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. We value the relationships we have with our customers, so we respect these concerns. ITP works to continuously improve the ITP web experience and personal data privacy policy and practices.

You may set your web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that contains cookies; those files are stored as part of your Internet browser.

How ITP Uses Your Personally Identifiable Information.

ITP uses your personally identifiable information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate with you, to update you on service and benefits and to personalise ITP web sites for you. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing.

From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest.

Who ITP Shares Your Personally Identifiable Information With.

ITP will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online with companies in the ITP group. All companies in the ITP group are governed by this Online Privacy Statement with respect to the use of this data.

Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide when you register your ownership of ITP products.

Security.

ITP is committed to ensuring the security of your personally identifiable information. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of such information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
