Privacy and Data Protection

As with all shopping websites, we collect personal information from you when you shop online at www.bestinthecountry.co.uk (FRS Countrywear Ltd). We use this information to make your shopping experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. We use it to process your order, inform you of any delays or problems and occasionally to send you information about our special offers and promotions – but only with your permission. We never sell or rent data to third parties.

The information we collect is:

We are Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliant.  We do not store, transmit or have access to credit card information - this is all done on Tier 1 Compliant payment processing servers provided by SagePay.  We meet all the security standards VISA and Mastercard require for processing card details.

FRS Countrywear Limited is a registered data user under the Data Protection Act. We will never pass your details on to a third party for marketing purposes. We will however, from time to time, send you details of our own special offers that we think may interest you.  For individuals, we will only send you promotional emails if you have opted in to receive them.  For business-to-business users who have previously bought from us, we may send you promotional messages where we feel have a legitimate interest to promote our products.  Every email will have a link to allow you to unsubscribe at any time.

There are only two circumstances where we may share some of your data with others:

We use above industry standard encryption on every page of our site and our servers are scanned daily for vulnerabilities to ensure your information is protected to the highest standards.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer. They let the website know when a user has returned and this lets the site bring up information relevant to that user, for example your name, past orders etc.

Cookies make the interaction between users and websites faster and easier. Without cookies, it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill up a shopping basket or to remember the user's preferences or registration details for a future visit. Like most ecommerce sites, we use cookies in this way.

Cookies are not computer programs, and can't read other information saved on your hard drive. They cannot be used to spread viruses, or get a user's e-mail addresses etc. They only contain and transfer to the website as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to that website.

If you have questions about your personal data or our privacy policy, please contact us. To see all the information we have about you, and to correct any inaccuracies, please write to:

How we use cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Controlling your personal information

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.

You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. A small fee will be payable.
