Privacy Policy

TAQT Ltd is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Any personally identifiable information we ask you to provide when using this website will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

This privacy policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you when you use this website.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect information about you when you contact us or place an order for our services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete customer surveys, provide feedback and participate in competitions. Website usage information is collected using cookies.

We also use your information to verify your identity where required, contact you by post, email or telephone and to maintain our records.

As part of our distribution effectiveness appraisals, anonymized data is collected via Google Analytics and this sends back non-personalised data information which populates monthly Google Analytics reports as a direct result of user-engagement. No personal data is shared from Google Analytics and therefore no data from TAQT Ltd is shared.

How will we use the information about you?

We collect information about you to process your order, manage your account and, if you agree, to contact you about other news, products and services we think may be of interest to you.

We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website.

We will never pass your personal information to any third party, other than as set out in this Privacy Policy, but reserve the right to access and disclose personal information to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests; requests by the police investigating suspected illegal activities; to enforce our website terms and conditions; and to operate our systems properly, administer the website, or to protect ourselves or other website users. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

When you input any personal information into the website, we will use appropriate physical, electronic and managerial security measures to try to prevent that personal information from being accessed by unauthorised persons, and to ensure that you may input personal information safely. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk.

Restricting how we may use your information

In some cases, you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal information. This right might apply, for example, where we are checking the accuracy of personal information that we hold about you or we are assessing the objection you have made to our use of your information. This right might also apply if we no longer have a basis for using your personal information but you don't want us to delete the data. Where this right is realistically applied will mean that we may only use the relevant personal information with your consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.
