Introduction

We, National Car Parks Manchester Limited, are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy summarises what personal information we may collect from you during your use of this Site and what we will do with it. Any changes to this policy will be posted on this page.

This privacy policy is based on the guidelines laid out by the TRUSTe Privacy Program and as required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998.

Data Use

We often need to collect and use certain types of information about users of the Site in order to provide information, products and services including those requested by you.

With your consent we may, occasionally, send you electronic mailings about the Site, changes to the service and other information which we think may be of interest to you. Again with your consent we may, from time to time, make your personal information available to carefully selected third parties (details of which you can obtain by emailing customerservices@ncp.co.uk ). If you are happy for us or trustworthy third parties to contact you, from time to time, to provide details of offers which could be of interest to you please tick the "opt in" box on the page where you insert your details. We may also, on occasion, contact you for the purposes of market research. If you do not want to receive future mailings and wish us to remove your information from our mailings database, please e-mail customerservices@ncp.co.uk .

In addition, we may occasionally be required by law to collect and use certain types of information of this kind to comply with the requirements of government departments for business data, for example. This personal information must be dealt with fairly and lawfully and there are safeguards to ensure this in the Data Protection Act 1998.

We may disclose information to the relevant authorities if we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

As a company providing services internationally, we do receive and transfer personal information all over the world. Consequently your personal information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered the information. In addition that information may be used, stored and processed outside the country where you originally entered the information. The data protection and other laws of other countries may not be as comprehensive as those in the UK, but we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are respected.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. They make it possible for us to identify users without needing to ask for details every time you access the Site.

By showing how and when users use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our users' needs.

We have two primary uses for cookies. First, we use them to specify preferences. For example, you can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't have to tell us over and over again about the information you want to see. Secondly, we use cookies to track user trends and patterns. This helps us understand our users' needs better and improve areas of our service that our users find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a cookie, you do always have the option of disabling cookies via your browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Site will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. If you would prefer us not to use cookies, please contact us at customerservices@ncp.co.uk .

Security

As you may be aware, no data transmission over the internet can be entirely secure. As a result, while we always use reasonable endeavours to protect the personal information you provide to us, we cannot guarantee the security of your information and the use of our facilities (e.g. e-mail) is at your own risk.

Information Updates

As we take the issue of protecting your personal data seriously, we follow strict storage and disclosure procedures which means that we may occasionally require proof of identity from you prior to disclosing information.
