If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

The following now provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit to our website.

Personal Information We Gather

Personal information is gathered from you in two ways: (a) directly (for example, if you submit an online form or otherwise supply any personal details to us); and (b) indirectly (for example, through our website’s technology).

We will obtain personal information about you directly (your name, email address, phone number) whenever you volunteer this information by completing an online form on our website.

We will obtain your personal data when you contact us for any reason. If you volunteer such information, you will be consenting to our processing it for the purposes specified.

By providing us with your email address, you agree to receive our email updates. Our email updates will contain useful information we feel may be of interest to you. Your email address will only be used to deliver our email updates to you and will not be passed onto any third party without your prior consent.

To opt-out of the email updates, simply click the unsubscribe link that is included at the bottom of every email we send you. You may also email aidan@pipeline-research.com with the subject line “Unsubscribe,” and we will remove you from our database within a maximum of 14 calendar days.

To opt-out of marketing communications from our third-party partners, you may contact each of them directly with this request. You may also ask us to communicate on your behalf to our debt relief partners that you no longer wish to receive marketing messages. To do so, please email aidan@pipeline-research.com with your request.

IP Address

When you access our website, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system and browser type are automatically collected. It is placed in our server logs, which we use for system administration and statistical analysis.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them when you return to the site. This allows us to give you tailored options based on the information it has stored about you on your last visit.

Cookies on this website are used to collect information about how visitors use our website, and these types of cookies collect the information anonymously.

If you are uncomfortable with the use of cookies, you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in your browser preferences. You can set your browser to reject or block cookies or to tell you when a website tries to put a cookie on your computer. You can also delete any cookies that are already stored on your computer’s hard drive. However, please be aware that if you do delete and block all cookies from our website, parts of the site will not work.

If you do not wish to accept cookies from our website, please leave this site immediately and then delete and block all cookies from this site in your browser preferences.

How We Use This Information

We analyse the information collected to examine visitor habits and to discover ways to improve the site. Visitor information includes data like the number of visitors to the site, the pages they visited and how they arrived at the site. We may also use personal data for other purposes, which we explain to you at the point we collect the information.

What About Sensitive Personal Data?

If we seek to collect sensitive personal data, we will ask you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data, subject to applicable laws as described in this notice. The references to “sensitive personal data” are to the various categories of personal data identified by the Data Protection Act 1998 and other relevant data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories comprise personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, colour, nationality, political opinions or convictions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or handicap, genetic code, addictions, gender, sexual life (including sexual orientation), pregnancy, property matters or criminal convictions or record.

Security

While we will take all reasonable steps to maintain the security of our website, you should understand that the open nature of the internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that the personal information you provide will not be intercepted by others and decrypted.

Alterations

The internet and data privacy best practices are both constantly developing. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time. Regularly review this page to ensure you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and how we will share it with other parties.

Amendments to our Privacy Policy will apply to your use of this website, and by continuing to use the website after such changes, you are deemed to have agreed with such amendments.
