Privacy Policy
This is a legal document which sets out how The Lime Bar handles data which identifies you. You should read it in conjunction with the The Lime Bar Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy Policy forms part.
At The Lime Bar, we believe strongly in protecting the privacy of our users' personal information. This statement describes the privacy practices we apply for the The Lime Bar Service. As part of that, it also expresses our approach to complying with the data protection laws which apply in the United Kingdom. If we change this Privacy Policy, we will notify you of the changed document in the same way as we notify changes to the The Lime Bar Terms and Conditions.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact The Lime Bar customer Service department at admin@thelimebar.co.uk.
1. The information we gather and track.
Information gathered on registration. When you register for the The Lime Bar Service, you provide your name, your email address, and some optional notes about yourself (Upload New Profile). These details are not seen by other members of the site, they are capable of being changed by you, through the My Details page once logged in to the site.
Cookies.
- We use small files known as "cookies" to enhance users' experience of the The Lime Bar Service as follows:
To hold Members' login information, so that your username and password allows you to visit the The Lime Bar Members Area.
- To facilitate optimal use of the The Lime Bar Service by Members, by means of temporary "session" cookies. These cookies disappear when the Member's browser session ends.
Third party cookies may be used on some parts of the site. They are used for tracking the success of advertising campaigns. These cookies are normally permanent. Blocking of third party cookies by users will not affect the functionality of the website.
2. Sharing and use of information
The over-riding principles we apply are these:
We, and (where relevant) our credit card processing agents, will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial exploitation - thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell the lists of our Members' email addresses to a third party; and the only circumstances in which we will provide any of your personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes are those contained in this Privacy Policy.
Registration Information.
Once a Member subscribes, some of the Registration Information held for that Member, except for the first name, last name and email address will be available for other site users to see.
Email addresses.
We do not directly make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the The Lime Bar. The only legitimate way of making contact with a friend found on the The Lime Bar is for a Member to enter a message which we will send on the Member's behalf. The email sent will NOT include the sending Member's email address. The email will contain a link to that Members ‘Member Detail’ page. The ‘Member Detail’ page contains a link to email the sending Member. This means by sending a contact message, the sending Member is NOT disclosing his/her email address. Members may change their email address at any time through My Details. Members' personal notes must not include their email address. If your email system automatically responds to a contact email, your email address will be revealed. It is entirely at the discretion of the Member sending the email if they choose to disclose their postal address, email address and telephone numbers in the message. The Lime Bar are not responsible for the publication of such information by a Member.
Advertising.
The Lime Bar may include interactive advertising for other businesses. We may use, and provide to third parties, anonymous demographic data provided by Members to target this advertising more appropriately.
Newsletters.
We may have regular and occasional emails, which Members can decide to take or not, according to their preferences. This option is selected through My Details.
Credit Card information.
There has been a lot of publicity about Credit Card security on the Internet so we decided to use Paypal, who operate a secure server, to process our credit card payments. They encrypt Members' credit or debit card information and authorize payment directly. This means that Members' credit card details are never revealed to us. Paypal may transfer to, process and hold your credit card information in countries either within or outside the European Economic Area in connection with performing their duties.
Changes in The Lime Bar business.
If all of the assets which The Lime Bar uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them) are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party.
Place of processing.
The personal information held by us is held on and processed by computers situated in Canada.
3. Security
We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains each Member's responsibility:
- to protect against unauthorized access to your My Details;
- to ensure against use by anyone else of the The Lime Bar through the machine that Member uses while they are "logged on" to the The Lime Bar;
- to log off or exit from the The Lime Bar when not using it; and
- to keep his/her username and password secret.
4. Disclosure for legal reasons
We reserve the right to communicate such of a Member's personal information as we hold to third parties which seek the disclosure of it, and which make a legally-compliant request for its disclosure. 5. Contacting The Lime Bar
