General Information

When signing up for any of our products and services you may be required to provide information such as your name, postal address, email address and telephone number.

This data, and any subsequent data gathered, will normally be used by us, our subsidiaries, affiliates or partners solely for the purposes of the management (and billing, if appropriate) of your account and the provision of Internet and related services to you. We may also use this data for the purposes of informing you of new products and features, status information, and important information regarding changes to the products and services we provide.

We may also supply the data we collect to relevant third parties in the event that you are found to be in breach of any of the terms and conditions applying to the services you use, for example to credit reference agencies in the event that you fail to pay or refuse to pay for any non-free product or service that you have subscribed to or purchased and for which we have requested payment.

But except as specified above, unless required to do so by a law enforcement agency or other authorised government agency, we will not pass on your personal details to any third party without your consent.

Please note, however, that variations on this general privacy policy may exist for certain of the products and services we offer. These will be shown in the specific Terms and Conditions for such products and services during the appropriate sign-up process.

Please also note that this privacy policy only applies to customers buying products or services directly from Cymru 1. Different privacy policies may apply if you buy products from companies advertising on this site, or from Cymru 1 affiliates or partners such as C1 Domains (our online Domain Name Registration services).

4) Cookies used by advertisements on this site

None of the adverts that appear on the Cymru 1 Website write or read any form of cookie. Instead they are simply images or text that links to the appropriate advertiser's website. Unless you deliberately click on an advert image or text, no data whatsoever is gathered and no cookie is set or read.

 

Behavioural Advertising

As mentioned in the section above, none of the third-party adverts you may see on the Cymru 1 website write or read any type of cookie whatsoever - the adverts are simply images or text which links to other websites.

This is not necessarily the case for third-party adverts on other websites you may visit, which might set or read cookies if you simple visit a page where an advert appears. Depending on the source of such adverts, these cookies can potentially be used to track your use of the internet and the data gathered in this way could be used for behavioural advertising (where adverts relating to the subject matter found on the sites you most often visit or most recently visited appear on a website instead of a generic advert that might not interest you as much).

If you are concerned about behavioural advertising you can opt-out of most well-known online advertising agencies behavioural tracking systems by visiting www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

IP Addresses and other data

Each computer connected to the Internet is assigned an IP (Internet Protocol) address. Most websites, including our own, will record the IP address of all visitors for use in gathering visitor statistics and tracking and preventing abuse.

It is technically possible for us to match the IP addresses of visitors to our site with individual users of our own dial-up and Broadband Internet access accounts, but we do not do so except when investigating cases of service abuse.

Other data that may be gathered from visiting this and most other websites includes your screen resolution, you browser type, you browser's language settings and other similar data which is given by your Browser when communicating with our servers when visiting this website. This data is used for statistical purposes only.
