Use of Cookies
BarclayJames is committed to continually improving the user experience for visitors and customers visiting our websites, including through the use of cookies.
A cookie is a small text file sent by a web server to be stored on a web browser, so that it can later be read back from that browser the next time a unique visitor returns to that web server. This is useful as it allows the browser to remember specific information about visitors, including their IP address, location of their last visit, the time spent on the websites, the site they last came from and visit next, and the web browser version and operating system that the visitor is using. This information, along with server log information, is used to analyse trends, audit traffic levels and give BarclayJames useful statistical information on all users so that we can improve the website experience for all visitors, now and in the future.
BarclayJames also uses cookies to keep track of customer login names and passwords. This allows customers to automatically log in when they visit their customer Control Panel, if desired. In this way, cookies can make customers’ return visits to BarclayJames websites more convenient. Please note that if your web browser is set to automatically reject all cookies, you will still be able to access BarclayJames websites, but you will not be able to save your customer login info for automatic login (unless, of course, you change your cookies settings).
Cookies set up by BarclayJames are only accessible by BarclayJames and not by any other website. The exception to this is when server log data is provided to law enforcement bodies as outlined in the Security Access section below.
Links to other sites
BarclayJames may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third party sites. Any information that is supplied on these sites will not be within our control and we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of these.
Where we store your personal data
We follow accepted standards to store and protect the personal data we collect, including the use of encryption if appropriate.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secured servers within the UK. From time to time, your information may be transferred to and stored in a country outside the EEA in relation to provision of the services. The laws in these countries may not provide you with the same protection as in the EEA; however, any third party referred to above outside of the EEA has agreed to abide by European levels of data protection in respect of the transfer, processing and storage of any personal data. By providing your data to us, you agree to this transfer and storage. However, we will ensure that reasonable steps are taken to protect your data in accordance with this privacy notice.
As the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site and 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 unauthorised access.
Any sensitive data (payment details for example) are encrypted and protected.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Data Breaches
In the event of a data breach, we shall ensure that our obligations under applicable data protection laws are complied with where necessary.
Security & Access Compliance
BarclayJames takes the security of personal information seriously and we make all commercially reasonable efforts to protect the personal information against loss and unauthorised access. We have adopted procedures to secure storage of personal information and are committed to working with our customers to protect the security of personal information during any transfer to us or from us. We have also instituted a number of safeguards to identify and prevent the fraudulent use of personal credit information. We use firewall technology to protect intrusion from intruders and we have various access processes in place, including password protection and cryptography, to secure against loss and unauthorised access. Furthermore, we utilise industry-leading antivirus software solutions and have taken measures for the physical security protection of our facilities.
In order to ensure security and protection of all information, all employees are aware of our security policy and practices and our physical offices are protected with multiple layers of security and limited access privileges. All visitors to our facility must sign in at reception and be escorted by one of our staff members at all times while on the premises. We have additional layers of security and access that are proprietary in nature and cannot be shared in this policy due to the sensitivity of the security in place. Rest assured that there are added layers of security even beyond what is described here and which are in place to protect the sensitive information that may be obtained from our customers. Our websites’ security is constantly reviewed and improved and access to the information is limited to authorised personnel. Any loss, misuse, or alteration of personal information by our employees, contractors or other parties is strictly prohibited and, when required, we will follow up by appropriate action and termination of the offending employee. Furthermore, all of our employees, contractors or similar type of relationships are bound by confidentiality and/or non-disclosure agreements.
All customer information is stored in secure databases and all personnel, including but not limited to employees, agents, contractors and third party service providers we may work with to assist us in providing services to you, are strictly prohibited from using customers’ personal information for any purpose other than to provide this assistance and are required to protect personal information disclosed by us and to comply with the general privacy principles described in this Privacy Policy.
