In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following
types of information: Information you provide – When you sign up for a
TimeAssured service that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, email address and an account password). For certain services, such as our
premium packages, our payment partner will also request credit card or other payment account information. We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.
Cookies – When you visit TimeAssured, we send one or more cookies – a small file containing a string of characters – to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people
use Timeassured. We also use cookies in advertising services to help advertisers and publishers serve and manage ads across the web.
Log information – When you access Timeassured services, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
User communications – When you send email or other communications to Timeassured, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
Affiliated sites – We offer some of our services in connection with other web sites. Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to Google in order to deliver the service. We process such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The affiliated sites may have different privacy practices and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Links – TimeAssured may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our
service. For more information about links and redirected URLs, please see our FAQs.
Other sites – This Privacy Policy applies to TimeAssured services only. We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results or links from within our various services. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
TimeAssured only processes personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and/or the supplementary privacy notices for specific services. In addition to the above, such purposes include:
Providing our services to users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our services;
Ensuring the technical functioning of our network; and
Developing new services.
TimeAssured processes personal information on our servers in the United Kingdom
and in other countries. In some cases, we process personal information on a server outside your own country. We may process personal information to provide our own services. In some cases, we may process personal information on behalf of and according to the instructions of a third party, such as our advertising partners.
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration, we ask you
to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner
different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your
consent prior to such use. If we propose to use personal information for any
purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the
specific service privacy notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out
of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect
or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this
Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service privacy notices, unless we
have obtained your prior consent. Most browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, some TimeAssured features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
TimeAssured only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of
TimeAssured in the following limited circumstances:
We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.
We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to
or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include
internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and
security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against
unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access
to personal information to TimeAssured employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
When you use TimeAssured services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users’ personal information. We provide the details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices or FAQs for these services.
TimeAssured regularly reviews its compliance with this Privacy Policy. Please
feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or
TimeAssured's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site or by writing to us at
TimeAssured.co.uk, Centrix House, Crow Lane East, Newton-le-Willows, St.Helens,
WA12 9UY.
When we receive formal written complaints at this address, it is TimeAssured's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between
TimeAssured and an individual.
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not
reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and
we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy
Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide
a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of
Privacy Policy changes). If you have any additional questions or concerns about
this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us any time through this web
site or at TimeAssured.co.uk, Centrix House, Crow Lane East, Newton-le-Willows,
