Privacy Policy

This PrivacyPolicy was last updated on January 06, 2018.

What is this Privacy Policy for?

This privacy policy is for this website https://www.Modeloe.com and served by Modeloe and governs the privacy of its users who choose to use it.

The policy sets out the different areas where user privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations & requirements of the users, the website and website owners. Furthermore, the way this website processes, stores and protects user data and information will also be detailed within this policy.

GDPR

On the 25th May 2018 GDPR comes in to force and it affects anyone who trades with anyone within the EU. Within the UK there are now thousands of experts in the field, guiding companies through the process of readiness, changing contractual terms for their suppliers (and increasing limits of liability for breaches if uncapped liability not an option) and generally keeping compliance departments really really busy. Potential fines are HUGE (4% of global turnover) and will fund regulators so expect there to be fines. The biggest risk to individual companies however is the claimant solicitors all ready in the wings to take on cases where people feel their data has been breached. Seriously, just do a google search and see how many domain names have already been registered in anticipation. We would outline the details of the forthcoming legislation and a handy guide of what to do, how and when. But it’s not straight forward and it’s probably best to hear it from those managing it, such as the ICO in the UK.

What this means in real words; We only use the data you supply when making a purchase to process your purchase It is has NEVER been used for anything else and never will be We don’t auto-sign you up for anything. Anything you do sign up for (news letter, creating an account) is strictly opt-in only We have never sold or passed on data, we’re not about to start The act is quite clear in that records should only be held as long as they need to be, and to be fair this has not changed from the current legislation in the Data Protection Act. We do retain purchase records because we are often contacted by customers who have changed PC’s or lost their template and ask us to resend it, sometimes many years after the purchase date
