We collect and store information about your visit to Bamboo Systems Group Websites automatically using browser cookies (files which are sent by us to your computer) or similar technology which we can access when you visit a Bamboo Systems Group Website in future. All Cookies used by and on our website are used in accordance with current English and EU Cookie Law. A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a specific site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual.

3. Where we store Personal Data

Bamboo Systems Group stores data on servers in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and also transfers and stores Personal Data outside the EEA.

When we transfer Personal Data to servers controlled by a third-party data hosting company either within the EEA or operating outside of the EEA, we verify their compliance with the GPRD regulation to protect the transfer of Personal Data. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet, server, database, network or email transmission is never fully secure or error free. Although we do our best to protect Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of the Personal Data you transmit to us, and you accept the inherent risk associated with such transmission.

 

4. Links to other websites

Bamboo Systems Group Websites may contain links to third-party websites. These sites are owned and operated independently from us and have their own separate privacy and data collection practices. Any Personal Data that you provide to these websites will be governed under the terms of the privacy policy of that website. We cannot accept liability for the actions or policies of these independent sites, and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.

 

5. How we process the personal data that we collect

We use Personal Data for our legitimate business interests, with your consent, or in order to comply with our legal obligations.

If you don’t want to be contacted for marketing purposes, please let us know at or you can opt out of receiving electronic communications by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any such electronic communication.

If you are a new customer, you will only be contacted if you agree to it.

In addition, if you don’t want us to use your personal data for any of the other reasons set out in this section, you can let us know at any time by contacting us at and we will delete your data from our systems if it is appropriate to do so. However, you acknowledge this will limit our ability to provide the best possible products and services to you.

In some cases, the collection of personal data may be a statutory or contractual requirement, and we will be limited in the products and services we can provide you if you don’t provide your personal data in these cases.
