The purpose of this privacy policy is to describe the types of information that we collect from you when you visit our site or purchase from us, and explain how we use this information.

Any information that you choose to provide us with about yourself will be held on a secure computer in strict accordance with the Principles of the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998 (UK) and the European Union Data Protection Framework Directives.

We collect your personal information in several ways, for instance on the registration form or if you enter a competition.

This information will include your name, email address and postal address plus other relevant facts about you.

However, we only collect this information from you if you choose to provide it to us and we do not hold your information for longer than is necessary.

Whenever you browse the Hair Team website, read pages, or download information, our server automatically records certain information about your visit.

This information does not identify you personally. It just tells us how many visitors come to our site and the types of computers they use. With this information, we can improve our site for all our visitors and make it more useful to you.

The information includes the following:

2 How many and which pages you visit during a 'session' on our site and how long you were on the site.
3 Your internet domain name (this might be your internet service provider such as Tesco.net or your school, place of work etc) and the 'IP' address (this is a number assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web) which allows you to access our website.
4 The internet browser you use (eg Microsoft Explorer or Netscape) and your computer's operating system (eg Windows 98). The site you were on before you linked to our site if you found us from a search engine.

Security

We use a third party company called WorldPay to process your order and provide a secure environment for credit card transactions.

The WorldPay payment service has been endorsed by the world's leading banks and all the international credit/charge card companies (Visa, Mastercard etc).

When you check out from our store, you pass to a secure area operated by WorldPay where your card details are checked. If your card issuer verifies your details, your purchase will be authorised and your card debited accordingly. WorldPay notifies us and we are then able to complete your transaction and arrange delivery.

If your card issuer declines the payment request, we are unable to complete your transaction and you will be advised of this immediately.

Credit card fraud

If your card is used fraudulently, your bank or card issuer may hold you liable for a % of the fraudulent charges.

You must notify your credit or debit card issuer immediately, if your card is lost or stolen, or you are aware of unauthorised use, in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

The only times you will be asked for your credit card number is when you make a purchase online.

NEVER give your credit card information or password to unauthorised persons contacting you via e-mail or an instant message or chat service. These requests are ALWAYS fraudulent.
