Use of Information (Data Protection)
Bridleways has written this statement because we want you to feel confident about the privacy and security of your personal information. Your right to privacy is very important to us and we recognise that when you choose to provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner.

Bridleways treat all the data held with the utmost care and security. Any details you give will remain completely confidential.

The information that you submit will be held and used by Routecard Ltd, Bridleways.co.uk or their representatives in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act. This is for the purpose of order processing, account administration, statistical or business analysis. Your information will not be passed on to any third party representatives unless required to do so by law.

We will not collect any information about individuals, except where it is specifically provided by them. Examples of such information are:

• Name
• Address
• Telephone Number
• Email Address

Whenever you provide sensitive information we will ensure all reasonable steps to protect it. When you undertake a financial transaction with us you will be transferred to the secure HSBC payment gateway. This is completely separate to the Bridleways.co.uk website, so at no point do we ever see your credit or debit card details. Credit or debit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for marketing purposes.

The Use of your Personal Information
When you register to use the Bridleways website we will treat you as having consented to our using your personal data in the manner described in this statement. Bridleways will use this data in order to facilitate a transaction through our online shop or for statistical analysis reports.

This contact will be via email, unless an alternative is specified.

Bridleways will retain all communications received in order to produce statistical analysis reports on the comments received.

All personal information collected on the website will be used for the purpose of delivering the service for which the information was supplied. In addition, the information may be used to make users of the website aware of new or improved services available from Bridleways, unless permission is denied by the user.

Disclosure of Information
Bridleways complies with the Data Protection Act 1998 and takes all reasonable care to prevent any unauthorised access to your personal data.

How we protect your personal information
When you place an order with us, we use a secure server through HSBC’s secure payment gateway.

This payment gateway encrypts all your personal information, which prevents it from being accessed or read by any third party. You can check that you are in a secure area of our site by looking in the browser at the bottom of the page and you will see a padlock.
