eVolution is committed to protecting your privacy. Simply visiting the eVolution websites does not require you to reveal personal information. But if you ask us for information, order goods or services, register with us, use our services or report a problem, we collect any personal information you submit to us and details of the transactions between you and us. In addition, we store information you may give us about your interests, or we may learn about these from your use of our goods and services. This statement explains how we use the information that you give us.

Please do not send us any personal data about anyone else without their permission.

Whenever you give us personal data via our website, you are consenting to its collection and use in accordance with our privacy policy.

Uses made of information collected
The personal information that we collect is used:
• to provide you with goods and services;
• for customer administration;
• for mailing information to you about our other goods and services in which you may be interested, including our catalogue and our newsletter;
• to provide, on request, personalised computer-generated reports through on-line assessment services;
• to personalise our service to you;
• to seek your views on products and services.

We also:
• use data collected through on-line assessment services to produce statistics
• automatically collect data about visitors to our website (for example on browsing patterns) by using cookies*.

In both these cases, the data is used only in an anonymous form; no individual is identified.

Right to opt out of direct communications
If you do not wish eVolution to use your personal information for direct marketing of our goods and services, please notify us by email. (See Contacting Us).

Please note, however, that occasionally we may need to communicate with you for administrative or operational reasons.

*Cookies
‘Cookies’ are pieces of information stored by a user’s web browser and stored on your hard drive, which help to identify the user when he or she visits a particular web page; this enables the visit to be personalised, e.g. to simplify the login process for registered users. The eVolution website uses cookies, but it is possible to turn off the cookie function (see the Help menu on your browser for details). However, if you do this, it will restrict the services you can use or our site may not work as well as we intend.

We only use cookies to give us information about the number of visitors to different parts of our website – we do not use them to identify you as an individual, but only to enhance your visit to our site.

Security and disclosure
We are committed to ensuring the security and integrity of personal information that we hold and have put in place appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to ensure this. We welcome updates at any time from our clients and enquirers relating to information that we hold about them.

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties except:
• as necessary to fulfil your order(s) for our goods and services and to validate your payment details;
• to suppliers that process data on our behalf;
• in response to an expressed client need or request;
• where we believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to comply with the law or to protect the safety of eVolution, our customers or their clients, or the public.

Some of these third parties may be located outside the European Economic Area.

We may also provide your personal data to anyone to whom our business or business assets are transferred.

We may use and disclose aggregated and anonymised information for marketing, product development, strategic or research purposes. In such data, no individual customer will be identifiable.

As with all electronic communication, when you give us personal data by that means, the data may be sent electronically to servers anywhere in the world and may be used, stored and processed anywhere in the world, including countries outside the European Economic Area (many of whom do not have stringent data protection laws).

Whenever and wherever we collect, process or use personal data, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely and in accordance with our privacy policy.
