In keeping with best practice as well as current legislation, c1ik has a Privacy Policy which we publish here for your information.

The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and disclose your personal information in connection with the provision of services to you. The privacy of customers and all data collected by c1ik is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy as detailed below.

Data Protection Act (1998)

Bering Internet Limited, which operates the c1ik service, has certain obligations under the Data Protection Act (1998) as our business depends upon constant data transmission and the exchange of personal information including email addresses. When you supply any personal information we will respect our legal obligations towards you in the way that we deal with that data. We do this by trying to collect the information openly and clearly explain what it is for and how we will use it. Please look for explanatory notices on the relevant web pages. We will never collect data unnecessarily, nor keep it for longer than is necessary. We will hold your personal 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. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely. In general, any information which you provide to c1ik will only be used within Bering Internet Limited and by its service providers. Your personal information will never be supplied to anyone outside the company without your consent, unless obliged to and permitted by law to disclose it.

Individuals have a right under the DPA to have a copy of the information held about them on computer. If you do send us a request for access to this information, access request then we will deal with it promptly and in any case within 40 days of the date of receiving it. We will send the individual a copy of the personal information we hold. A £5.00 fee will be charged for responding to such requests to cover our administration costs. We will expect this payment to be made in advance. We will reveal data held on our files, if asked, only to the person about whom the data is held. Requests are received and responded to by post. Please use the address on our contact page, send your cheque payable to ‘Bering Internet Limited’, and enclose a large, stamped addressed envelope.

EC Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (2002)

This policy on visitor information complies with the EC Directive 2002/58/EC concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications), and amendments. The Directive is designed to supplement the existing EU and UK national legislation on privacy and data protection, in particular the Data Protection Act 1998 (see above), by dealing specifically with the use of cookies as well as preventing unsolicited emails to non-business users (spam). During the course of a visit to the c1ik site, you maybe invited to download pages and run small programmes (applets and cookies) which will allow your browser to view all of the information contained, and do other useful things like allow us to understand whether or not your computer has visited the c1ik site before. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows and similarly this information will help us to analyse the profile of our visitors. c1ik does not sell-on information about clients or visitors to its web-site to third parties. However, in order to provide investors and stakeholders with information about the success of Bering Internet Limited, c1ik logs visitor information and keeps it anonymously and for its own purposes. This non-personal statistical information about visits to pages on the site, the duration of individual page view, paths taken by visitors through the site, and other general information is used by c1ik to help it improve services to users. However, please note that if you wish to reject cookies you can do so using the disablement feature of your browser. c1ik follows the EC Directive by making sure that emails are not sent unless part of proper and necessary communication with customers. Private customers will not receive direct email marketing from us unless they have specifically requested to hear from ourselves or our sponsors by ticking the appropriate request box. You may cancel your option to receive marketing information at any time, by mailing us. For the latest information about the EC Directive we recommend you to search on the EU's Europa Site at http://ec.europa.eu/.
