PRIVACY POLICY (SpeedoSculpture)

Speedo and/or any of its international partners, subsidiaries or associated companies (“Speedo” or “we” or “us”) take our relationship with all our users seriously, and this includes how we handle the data you give us.

Speedo is committed to meeting the requirements of all relevant laws and codes including the Data Protection Act 1998 and is registered with the Information Commission under registration number Z6162114 as a Data Controller.

This Privacy Policy sets out the ways we process any personal data collected via our Website.

1. When do we collect personal information?

Most of our Website is free for you to browse through and read. There are a few occasions when we ask you to fill in a form and give us some information about yourself. We only ask for your personal information for the following reasons:

•    If you want to create or update your personal profile;
•    If you want to create a club profile;
•    If you want to create a performance tip, blog or story;
•    If you want to comment on the performance tips, podcasts, blogs, story or news;
•    If you want to take part in a prize draw or competition;
•    If you want to contact us, send us an email or offer feedback; or
•    If you want to receive news and exclusive offers via email.
•    If you want to receive an update when your uploaded content has been approved and published by a moderator

We only collect personal information (such as your name, email address or country of residence) if you choose to provide that information to us in response to our request.

2. What do we do with the information?

Providing personal information is up to you. We collect personal information to enter you in contests and notify you of results, to e-mail you with updates, news and special offers, to respond to your questions or comments, or to register you for certain features on the Website.

3. Who processes my information?

Speedo (and those people or companies employed by Speedo who help make this Website, its content and its services) will process and use your personal information in order to respond to your feedback – like writing a news feature because you asked for it, running a new competition or responding to problems, improving our services and gearing what we do to suit your requirements further.

Beyond this, we will not share your information with any other company without your consent unless we are required to do so by law, if you have won a prize or if you have made a request for specific information. If you give us consent then we may share your information with our partners, subsidiaries or subsidiary companies in order that they can contact you with information, promotions, products, services and offers that may be interesting to you.

We will never sell your information to any other company.

We make sure that if you sign up to a Great Swim update, you only get a Great Swim update.

4. Asking your permission

If you register on the Website we ask you to let us know if you would like receive further information or updates from us via email. We will only send you an email update if you request to receive it. We don’t want to bombard your inbox, so the most number of updates we will send you is one a week – but normally it is only one every fortnight or less. (We might send you a more frequent update if a really cool event or offer is coming up that you might be interested in).

5. What if you change your mind?

We always provide you with the opportunity to opt in or out of receiving communication via email. You can do also this on the website by logging in and going to your profile.

6. How to unsubscribe

Our policy is to allow users to unsubscribe from our regular emails at any time. You can do this by clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you’ve received.

However, should you experience any problems, please call our SpeedoSculpture Team (speedosculpture@speedo.co.uk) who will assist you.

If you have asked us to stop sending emails, and this hasn’t happened, it may be because the email address to which we are sending them is not the same as the address you sent your request from. Please check the address we are using and include this information in your request. The easiest way to do this is to return to us the whole of the unwanted email. The address we are sending to is included at the bottom of the message.

7. Use of cookies

Like most websites, ours uses cookies to improve the way it shows you things, and to make access easier for you. Cookies are small files of letters or numbers that, with your permission, we put on your computer. Some stay on it for a while, others disappear the minute you close the browser.

Here are the three types of cookies we use to help improve your experience on speedosculpture.co.uk:

Session cookies are like a token which records things like page or product selections as you move through the website, so you don’t keep getting asked about things you’ve already told us. Session cookies (and the information they record) are erased when you close your browser after a browsing session.

Tracking cookies help us remember your details and settings for when you come back to our website in the future, which means you get easier, faster access. They stay on your hard drive until you delete them or they expire they have various expiry dates, up to two years.

Web analytics cookies help us learn what content is most helpful for our users. They count the number of visitors, and then look at how they like to move around the website. This data helps us make your experience of the website much better because, we’ll know the sort of things you look for and can make sure you find them easily.

No Personal Information Stored Remember, our cookies don’t store information that can identify you, so no one will be able to use the information gathered by the cookies to contact you by phone, email or in any other way. Tracking is limited to the Speedo website and never gets shared with anyone else.
Blocking Cookies You can block cookies – just activate the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse them. Please note that if you block all cookies you may not be able to access all areas of the website.

Acceptance of cookies If your browser is set to accept cookies, our system will issue them when you visit the website – which is good because ultimately we want you to have the best possible experience whenever you visit speedosculpture.co.uk.

8. What do we do to safeguard personal information?

We have instituted safeguards to check that our internal procedures meet our high policy standards. We also use our best efforts to be sure that third parties who work with us as our agents to make this Website and its contents available to you, agree to protect personal information that they must access in order to serve our Website and our visitors. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.

9. Links to other Websites

We may offer links to other websites we use and recommend. However, we are not responsible for the content or information collection policies of websites operated by other companies. If you visit another website, we advise you to review their privacy and other policies.

10. Changes to our Privacy Policy

Any changes to the Privacy Policy will be posted here.

If Speedo wishes to make material changes to the way we use your personal information we will ask for your consent before we do so.

11. Anything else I should know?

Except as otherwise provided, we will NOT disclose any information processed by us to any third party, unless required to do so by law.

If you have any questions, wish to access, update or delete information, wish to opt out of receiving future communications, or have questions about our privacy policy, please contact the Website Moderator via email at speedosculpture@speedo.co.uk, or at Speedo International Limited, Enterprise way, ng2 Business Park, Nottingham, NG2 1EN, United Kingdom.
