Privacy Policy

This policy covers all users who register to use this website.

This website is operated by Vaalto Technolgies Ltd. We are committed to protecting your privacy when you are using our online services. To protect your privacy, we apply five principles which you can read about below.

Principle 1 - Notice

During our registration process, we ask for personal information which both identifies you and enables us to communicate with you. 

We will use the information you provide only for the following purposes:

• To send updates regarding the status of your orders
• To send you newsletters and details of offers and promotions in which we believe you will be interested
• To improve the content, design and layout of the this website and to facilitate knowledge management
• To understand the interests and buying behaviour of our registered users
• To perform other such general marketing and promotional activities focused on our products and services. We may also register you for our other services which we feel may be useful or of interest to you
• You can edit your communications preferences at any time via the 'my account' section of our website

This privacy policy only covers this website. Other links within this site to other websites or framed third party sites within this site are not covered by this policy. We may continue to use your personal information for a period after you cease being a registered user.

Principle 2 - Consent and Choice

If you choose not to register or not provide personal information, you may still visit the website but you will not be able to access the restricted areas available to registered users. By completing the registration process, you accept the Terms and Conditions described and consent to our using your information accordingly.

Principle 3 - Access

We have provided an administration service (your account) where you can review your personal information at any time to ensure it is correct and current. You will be able to update, correct, change or delete inaccurate details. You may also change your choice of opting in or out of marketing and promotional activities, although you may continue to receive mailings for a short period while your change is being processed. You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information on payment of a small fee.

Principle 4 - Security

We have taken appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is not unlawfully processed. Vaalto Technologies uses industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, including "firewalls" and Secure Socket Layers. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access.  However, no information transferred over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by users inside and outside the company. 

We will not be transferring your personal information outside of the European Economic Area unless otherwise specifically advised.

Principle 4.1 - Cookies

Our website creates a single cookie on your machine containing session and state information.  The information within this cookie does not include any personal or financial information.  Our website requires cookies to be enabled in the web browser and in any third party security programs to allow tasks such as registering, logging in, buying items or accessing accounts. Please be aware that should cookies be disabled or blocked by third party software, many of the features of the website will be impaired or unavailable.

Principle 5 - Minors

This website is not intended for children and we ask that no-one under the age of 16 submits personal information to us or uses the site without supervision of a parent or guardian.

Principle 6 - Deletion of your Personal Data

We are unable to delete your account information containing your personal information for a period of 6 years from the date of your last interaction with us (this could be a sales transaction, a return, or some other interaction with dabs.com via our Customer Services team or our online tools).  This is because we may need to access historical information for business reporting purposes.  Please note however, that at any point in time you may opt in or out of marketing communications via the 'your account' section of this website.

Changes to this policy

If we decide to change this privacy policy, we would post such changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.
