Flair Communications Ltd. (Flair)
and Flair Business Equipment Ltd., are committed to ensuring that your privacy
is protected. This policy explains how we use the information we collect about
you and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.
This privacy policy covers your
use of this website and the services available on this website.
The information we collect and
how we use it
When you register with Flair
and/or place an order, we need to know your name, address, delivery address,
credit or debit card number and expiry date, e-mail address and telephone
number. This information allows us to fulfil your order and notify you of the
status of your order.
We may also ask you to give us
optional contact information, for example your fax number and demographic
information like your age.
If you subscribe to our mailing
lists for news letters and other information, you will be asked to specify the
areas in which you are interested so that we can tailor the information which
we send to you to cover the topics and merchandise which we believe you might
be interested in.
We may, from time to time, send
with your ordered products, inserts advertising the goods or services of
unrelated third party companies. We do not pass on your personal data to these
third party companies.
We may also use your information
for the purpose of providing you with information about any special offers or
features of our web site which we think may be of interest to you and for
related marketing purposes.
We use your IP address to help
diagnose problems with our server and to administer our web site. Your IP
address is also used to help identify you and your details on our database.
We monitor customer traffic on an
aggregate basis in order to help us develop and improve our web site for the
benefit of our customers. In order to enhance your use of the web site you will
be given a session ID which will only last for the duration of that visit to
the site. Each time you visit the site you will have a different session ID.
By submitting your information
you consent to the use of that information as set out in this Policy. If we
change our Privacy Policy we will post the changes on this page so that you may
be aware of them. We will also e-mail you should we make any changes and give
you a chance to ask us not to use your information in that way. Because the
Internet infrastructure is global, and it is not possible to predict the routes
that information sent over the Internet will take, the information you provide
may be transferred temporarily via a route which takes it outside the European
Economic Area as it passes between you and us. By submitting your information
you consent to this transfer.
Opt in / Opt out
If at any time you wish to
receive information about any other product areas which you currently do not
receive, or you wish to stop receiving some or all of the information that we
currently send, you may amend or remove your preferences by clicking on 'Sign

mailing lists by logging on to Flair-uk.com and follow the instructions there.

Non-disclosure to third

subject to the proviso that we may disclose or transfer your data to a partner
company where you have supplied information via a site which is co-branded with
that partner company or to members of our own group. If personally identifying
data about you may be shared with a partner company, we will tell you before we
collect or transfer the data so that you may opt out of this transfer if you
wish.
We use your information only as
set out in this Policy and will not sell, rent or pass your information on to
others for marketing purposes without your express consent.
Flair may however provide
aggregate statistics about our customers, sales traffic patterns and related
site information to reputable third-party vendors and relevant affiliate
