Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously and are fully committed to handling the information we collect from you in a secure and responsible manner. This policy, together with our terms of use, sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.  Please read this policy, which explains how we use your information, in particular:

• what information is collected from you through the website
• how the information is used
• with whom the information may be shared
• how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

How will we use your information?

Teacher Pocketbooks will use your information for administration, marketing, customer services and profiling your purchasing preferences.

With whom will we share your information?

We will disclose your information to our service providers and agents for the purposes set out in this policy.  We may keep your information for a reasonable period to contact you about our services.  If you would rather that your details were NOT used in these ways, please contact us at any time at sales@pocketbook.co.uk.

We may search the files of credit reference agencies, who will record the search. Information may be shared with other credit grantors and used for making credit decisions, fraud prevention and occasionally for tracing debtors.

We may contact you by post or e-mail to let you know about goods, services or promotions which may be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive such information from us please contact us at any time at sales@pocketbook.co.uk.

We may need (for the purposes specified above) to transfer and store your information in countries outside the European Economic Area that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK. If you do not want us to do this (except where necessary to supply the goods or services which you have requested) please tick the relevant box on any of our forms or contact us at any time at sales@pocketbook.co.uk.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use or terms and conditions of supply and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Teacher Pocketbooks, our customers, or others.

Transmitting information to our website.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.  Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
