Email addresses
===============

We collect email addresses for 3 main purposes:
- Email is our preferred means of communication, and will be used to notify our customers of developments within the CDN websites and applications.
- We use email to administer your account, for example, by alerting you when your account balance reaches a set level.
- We will use email to provide transactional notifications
- The email address on registration will be used to authenticate users or who have forgotten passwords or user account IDs.

Location information 

===============

We collect location information for 3 main purposes:
- To identify where a vehicle is collected and delivered to validate where a vehicle was when loaded / unloaded
- To track the delivery of the vehicle in transit to determine ETA's and delivery route
- To verify time and date of pickup and delivery using GPS time.

Where We Process Your Personal Data
===================================

Although we process your data within the European Economic Area ("EEA"), owing to the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to other countries outside the EEA that do not have similar protections in place as the EEA regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy.

By submitting your information you consent to such transfers outside the EEA. Your personal information may be shared with other companies within the CDN group of companies based within or outside of the UK. We may also have third party companies providing hosting services for us. Such third party companies will act as our subcontractors, and they would hold your data for such hosting purposes only. Such subcontractors will not be provided with any permission for any other use or disclosure of your data. We will also ensure that we have reasonable safeguards in place with regard to any of our subcontractors, with regard to data retention and security. Please bear in mind that the countries to which your personal data is sent may have a different standard of data protection than the UK.

Compliance & Confidentiality
============================

Our company complies with its obligations under the applicable data protection legislation in England. It will also take reasonable care to prevent any unauthorised access to your personal data. Our employees and contractors have been made aware of their responsibility to keep your information confidential.

Security
========

As you will probably be aware and accept, the internet is not a secure medium. However we have put in place various security procedures by way of reasonable measures to protect your information. We consider the security of your personal data and the details of any transactions you make to be a matter of the highest priority. Your account information is protected by your account code and password which you should keep safe at all times. If you feel that there has been a breach in the security on your licence please contact us on +44 1865 582 710 or by email at security@cardeliverynetwork.com

Purchasing
==========

When you transact on any of our websites, we use a secure server and connection. Any data you provide to us, is encrypted using a 'Secure Socket Layer' (SSL) session. SSL is an industry standard and is a widely used measure to guard against Internet messages being intercepted. We recommend Google Chrome as it is alway kept at latest version automatically. You should be aware, however, that older browsers cannot use SSL. To be sure, you will need Netscape version 4.05 or above, Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4 or above, or any similar generation browser (e.g. Firefox, Opera). Although your account can be set up to make repeat purchases to automatically top-up your account by credit card, we do not actually store credit card details. We only hold the last 4 digits of your card, the card holder name and a reference to the last transaction made on that card from us. It is the transaction reference that is used to make repeat purchases and this can only be used between ourselves and our payment service provider, SecureTrading.

Protecting your data
====================

Over and above what our company does to protect your privacy and security, we would advise you to adopt the following additional measures:

- Choose a password you can remember but others will not guess.
- Change your password regularly, and if you do write it down, keep it somewhere safe and secure.
- Do not activate Autocomplete (Internet Explorer) or any similar feature.
- Do not allow your internet browser to 'remember' passwords.
- When you have finished your session on our website we recommend that you close your browser, so any history of the session is cleared. As a further security measure our website will automatically shut down your session if it is not used for more than 30 minutes.
- Clear any 'cache' so there is no record of any transactions left on screen - all major web browsers let you do this.
