In this Privacy Policy “Personal Information” means any information about you from which you can be personally identified including, but not limited to, your name; e-mail address; postal or other address; financial details; telephone or mobile telephone numbers; registration name and number; passwords; and date of birth. Any information that you provide during the process will only be used for the purpose of: progressing your enquiries, bookings, information requests, or to fulfil legal or regulatory requirements if necessary.

For job applications. We will not share any of the information you provide during the recruitment process with any third parties for marketing purposes or store any of your information outside of the European Economic Area. The information you provide will be held securely by us and/or our data processors whether the information is in electronic or physical format. We will use the contact details you provide to us to contact you to progress your application. We will use the other information you provide to assess your suitability for the role you have applied for.

We do not require you to provide sensitive personal information (such as information about your health, political or religious beliefs, and criminal offences alleged or committed, or sexual orientation) unless we are using that information to process your application for a job role. Any Personal Information you do provide to us at the request of a potential employer will be used only in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please do not submit information that you do not want us to access.

From time to time, during an online application process, we may use a third party online recruitment company to collect information from you concerning our services. Once you click ‘apply now’ you will be taken to the third party’s website and they will hold the information you submit which we can view. In such a scenario, the data will be held under their Privacy Notice.

We do not collect more information than we need to fulfil our stated purposes and will not retain it for longer than is necessary. The information we ask for is used to assess your suitability for employment or for training. You don’t have to provide what we ask for but it might affect your application if you don’t.

How We Collect Your Personal Information

(a) From you.

We may ask for your consent to use your Personal Information for marketing purposes (please see paragraph (5) above). For example, we may send you an email message informing you of other services that we have developed and that may interest you. If you do not wish to receive such messages, please select appropriately when providing your Personal Information.

Disclosure Of Your Personal Information

Information about our customers and website visitors is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We will share Personal Information only as described below:

to other companies within UV, including their agents and employees;
to our business partners. For example, if you receive services from us, or purchase training aids from us, like any other retailer we will have to provide credit card information to our credit card processor and authenticator for payment purposes, and your name and address to the company that ships our merchandise. Similarly, to improve the products and services offered, we may share Personal Information with designers, manufacturers, distributors, licensees, marketing and advertising partners, and parties that provide support services for the Site. In all cases, we limit the information shared with partners and vendors to that which is necessary to carry out those functions and services to you;
where we are required to disclose Personal Information in response to law enforcement activity or other governmental request, or when otherwise required or permitted by law;
to enforce our contract or property rights, or when otherwise necessary to protect ourselves;
due to a sale or merger of one or more of our assets or any division or business line.
We may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individual customers are identified) for marketing, strategic development, and other purposes.

Where Is Your Data

The Personal Information you provide through the Site is processed by UV, and may be transferred to other members of the Group or other third parties as described in the previous paragraph. For example, if you make a purchase through our Site, your Personal Information will be transferred to members of the Group and our vendors in the United Kingdom in order to fulfil your order and help you with any enquiries you may have about that order.

Security Of Your Personal Information

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we are committed to handling your customer information carefully. We make reasonable efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we have implemented technology (secure servers and firewalls) intended to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorised disclosure or access to such Personal Information, appropriate to the nature of the data concerned. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of any data you disclose to us online, and in accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy by using the Site you accept the inherent risks of disclosing data online and agree that in no event will UV be liable for any breach of security or unauthorised third party intrusion, unless this is due to our negligence or wilful default.

Other Websites

The Site may contain links to websites of retailers or other third parties (“Third Party Websites”) who (1) are not affiliated with UV, (2) are outside our control, and (3) are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Links provided to Third Party Websites on the Site are provided to you only as a convenience and the inclusion of any link does not imply reliability and endorsement by us of the content of any such Third Party Websites. UV is not responsible for the privacy practices of Third Party Websites, which may collect and use information from you in a manner different to how we do so and accordingly the use of such Third Party Websites is entirely at your own risk. For relevant information, you should review the privacy statements or policies of any Third Party Websites before using them and direct any questions or comments about their contents to the relevant website provider.
