-Introduction

Subvector respects the privacy rights of its online visitors and recognize the importance of protecting the information collected about you. We have adopted a corporate wide Online Privacy Policy that guides how we collect, store and use the information you provide online. All personal information relating to visitors, members, subscribers, Reward Card Holders or customers, using websites owned and operated by Subvector is held in accordance with The Data Protection Act 1998.

Please note that this policy applies only to sites maintained by Subvector or its subsidiaries, and not to web sites maintained by other companies or organisations to which we link. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by The Subvector online, not offline.

-Third Party Sites

If you click on a link to a third party site, including on an advertisement, you will leave the Subvector site you are visiting and go to the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as Subvector. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that is linked to the Subvector website, you should consult that site's privacy policy before providing any personal information.

-Personal information

Personal information is information that identifies you and may be used to contact you on-line or off-line. Subvector only collects personal information from our online visitors on a voluntary basis and only for;

ordering products from us online,
competitions (registration or claiming a prize),
registration for membership on our site/forums,
marketing surveys and email campaigns,
registration for newsletters,
registration for games or special game-specific event participation, or
when you request services from third party service providers on our site.
Information collected may include your name, e-mail address, phone number, home address and birth date. We do not require personal information to obtain access to any of our website; however, you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

Whatever the purpose may be, we will only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfil your requests and our legitimate business objectives.

We collect information about you for two reasons: firstly, to process your order and second, to provide you with the best possible service.

We may use technology to track the patterns of behavior of visitors to our site. This can include using a "cookie" which would be stored on your browser. You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening. The information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser settings.

-Online Forums and IRC

You may choose to disclose information about yourself in our online forums or in creating user "profiles" when you play games on our sites or use chat rooms or IRC. Information that you disclose in chat rooms or in "profile" information is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in either place.

-Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive by your web browser. On revisiting this site our computer servers will recognise the cookie, giving us information about your last visit. For example, certain of our sites use cookies or other methods to monitor website usage.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but usually you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. However some areas of our sites will not function properly if you do so.

Subvector does not share or disclose personal information other than as set forth in this policy and in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998), provided however, that in the event of a merger, acquisition, or the unlikely event of bankruptcy, management of Subvector's customer information may be transferred to its successor or assign.

To enforce legal rights and the law, or when we have reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with our rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage, we may also disclose personal information to the appropriate civil or legal authorities.

Subvector stores your data in the United Kingdom. Your personal information may be transferred to, used, processed or held by Subvector companies within the European Union, and used for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. If we intend to transfer your information outside the EEA (European Economic Area) we will always obtain your consent first.

-Safeguarding Personal Information

We will only collect and use personal information in accordance with this privacy policy to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes, and we will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity, accuracy and privacy of the information you have provided. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to assure that third parties to whom we transfer any personal information will provide sufficient protection of that information
