Other Data We May Collect Automatically
When you visit http://www.tastefestivals.com, we may automatically
collect certain personal data that we then aggregate so that it is not
linked to a single, identifiable individual. This information provides
us with statistics such as how many users visited our site and which
pages were accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to
best tailor this Website to our visitors. We collect this information
either through "log files", "cookie" technology or with "web beacons",
as explained below.
Log Files
Log files are web server files (such as the domain name or IP address,
URL, the http response code, the Website from where you visit us or the
date and duration of your visit) that are automatically created when an
Internet user visits a site. Once you stop using our Website, we process
and use this information only to enable further connections, for
billing purposes, to detect disruptions to telecommunication equipment
and to detect abuse of our telecommunication services. We delete this
information routinely.
This information is used to create general aggregated profiles of our
Website user base and is not used to create personalised user profiles.
In case of disruption or misuse, we reserve the right to file a report
with law enforcement agencies. We do not use this information for any
other purpose(s) and do not share this information with any third
parties, except as set out in the section titled "How We Share Personal
Data" below.
Cookies
Like many companies, we use "cookies" or similar objects on our Website.
Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer's hard drive
when you visit certain Websites. We use cookies to tell us, for example,
whether you have visited our Website before or if you are a new visitor
and to help us identify site features in which you may have the
greatest interest. Cookies may enhance your online experience, for
example, by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, while
you are visiting a particular site.
The majority of browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. The
toolbar on most browsers will have a feature to tell you how to stop
accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, and
how to disable any existing cookies. Please note, however, if you do
disable, reject or stop cookies, you may not be able to take full
advantage of all our Website features and services we would like to
offer you.
Web Beacons
Certain pages on our Website may contain "web beacons" (also known as
Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third
parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer
that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the
page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the
beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the
information in cookies sent by the third party.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA
We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal data about our Website
visitors, except as described here. We may share your personal data with
affiliates and/or licensees of Taste Festivals for specific purposes
disclosed to you when you registered for our Website (or otherwise
provided data to us, for example for a Promotion). Otherwise we will do
so only with your explicit consent.
We may also share your personal data with service providers, employees
or contractors that we have retained to perform services or work on our
behalf. These parties are provided only with the personal data they need
to perform their functions and can only use and disclose such personal
data as is necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with
legal requirements.
In addition, we may disclose your personal data (i) if we are required
to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or
other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is
necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or
in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal
activity.
We reserve the right to transfer your personal data in the event we sell
or transfer all or a part of our business or assets. Should such a sale
or transfer occur, we will use reasonable endeavours to direct the
subsequent owner to use the personal data you have provided through this
Website in a manner that is consistent with this Notice. If you do not
want your personal data to be processed following such a transfer, you
should contact the subsequent owner of Taste Festivals.
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA MAY BE TRANSFERRED AND STORED
Your personal data will be processed in the United Kingdom and/or in
other states of the European Economic Area (EEA). However as a global
company, Taste Festivals may from time to time transfer your personal
data to global customer databases located in the United States of
America and make it accessible by any of our affiliate entities
worldwide or to third parties. The transfer of data outside of the EEA
which does not provide an adequate level of protection is subject to
restrictions. Taste Festivals has taken reasonable steps so that
personal data it collects receives an appropriate level of data
protection.
You understand and hereby agree that your personal data may be sent to
the United States of America or to other countries which do not provide
an adequate level of data protection and that Taste Festivals has taken
steps to ensure that your personal data will be adequately protected. If
