Privacy Policy

Martin Riley T/A Quantum Consultancy Services ("I") am committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This policy (together with my terms of website use and any other documents referred to therein) sets out the basis on which any personal data I collect from you, or that you provide to me, will be processed by me.  Please read the following carefully to understand my views and practices regarding your personal data and how I will treat it.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act), the data controller is Martin Riley T/A Quantum Consultancy Services of Suite 11519, PO Box 6945, London, W1A 6US. 

Information I May Collect From You

I may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on this site www.quantumcs.co.uk ("this site"). This includes information provided at the time of registering to use this site, subscribing to my service, posting material or requesting further services. I may also ask you for information [when you enter a competition or promotion sponsored by Martin Riley T/A Quantum Consultancy Services, and] when you report a problem with this site.
  
• If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
  
• I may also ask you to complete surveys that I use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.
  
• Details of transactions you carry out through this site and of the fulfilment of your orders.
  
• Details of your visits to this site including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, whether this is required for my own billing purposes or otherwise and the resources that you access.
  
• Any other information I may reasonably collect for the purpose of or in connection with conducting business on this site.

IP Addresses

I may collect information about your computer, including (where available) your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to my advertisers. This is statistical data about my users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Cookies

My website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of this website. This helps me to provide you with a good experience when you browse this website and also allows me to improve this site. For detailed information on the cookies I use and the purposes for which I use them, see my Cookie policy.

Where I Store Your Personal Data

The data that I collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for me or for one of my suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things,  the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. I will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

All information you provide to me is stored on secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where I have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of this site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. I ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although I will do my best to protect your personal data, I cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to this site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once I have received your information, I will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Uses Made of the Information

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To ensure that content from this site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
  
• To provide you with information, products or services that you request from me or which I feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and I.
• To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so.
  
• To notify you about changes to my service.

I may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to use your data, to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you and I or they may contact you about these by post or telephone.

If you are an existing customer, I will only contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you or enquiry by you.

If you are a new customer, and where I permit selected third parties to use your data, I (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.

If you do not want me to use your data in this way, or to pass your details on to third parties for marketing purposes, please tick the relevant box situated on the form on which I collect your data.
​
I do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to my advertisers, but I may provide them with aggregate information about my users (for example, I may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). I may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). I may make use of the personal data I have collected from you to enable me to comply with my advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.

Disclosure of Your Information

I may disclose your personal information to any member of my group, which means my business partners, business associates, or suppliers.

I may disclose your personal information to third parties:

• In the event that I sell or buy any business or assets, in which case I may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
  
• If Martin Riley T/A Quantum Consultancy Services or substantially all of my assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by me about my customers will be one of the transferred assets.
  
• If I am under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply my terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Martin Riley T/A Quantum Consultancy Services, my customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Your Rights

You have the right to ask me not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. I will usually inform you (before collecting your data) if I intend to use your data for such purposes or if I intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain boxes on the forms I use to collect your data.  You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting me at riley@quantumcs.co.uk.
