Personal Information Collection
We may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where users are invited to volunteer such information. “Personal information” in this privacy policy, we mean information, which identifies you as an individual, or is capable of doing so – for example, your name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth and billing information.

Your data will not be disclosed to any third parties without your consent or as otherwise allowed by the relevant Data Protection legislation and will only be used for responding to your query (or purposes associated with that purpose).
You have the right to be informed about what data we hold about you along with other rights set out in the legislation. Further information about your rights under the data protection legislation can be found at www.ico.org.uk

Cookie Policy
Cookies are a small amount of data sent from the server, which is then stored on your computer’s hard disc drive. We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual. For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file that is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies help us to improve our service and to deliver a better and more personalized service.
You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our services, unless the cookies to be issued require your informed consent.
Marketing Communications
We may send you receive marketing communications from us, or from third parties used by us to send marketing communication on our behalf, if you have opted in to receive such material. Our marketing communications will always include the option for you to unsubscribe from receiving any further marketing communications.
You may change your mind about direct marketing from us at any time by writing to us at info@jmportugues.co.uk.
We may also collect and use other information for internal purposes – for example, contact with our technical support or sales departments, accesses to your account and any reported violations of our terms and conditions that you or someone on your account may have committed. This is to help us fit the service to your individual needs, to help us diagnose problems you may be having and for system security.
Withdrawal of Consent
If you withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, it may mean we will not be able to provide all or parts of the products or services you have requested from us. Please be aware that in these circumstances you will not be able to obtain a refund of any fees or monies you would have paid.
On the other hand, if for example you withdraw your consent to us sending you marketing communications, then such withdrawal should not have any affects.
Disclosure of information to others
We may disclose information about you, in the event we undergo re-organisation or are sold to a third party or, as necessary, to our suppliers for them to be able to supply certain items or services to you. We do not sell or pass your personal information to third parties (other than as already stated) unless you have given us permission or unless it is necessary to deliver the products and services ordered or used by you. J M Portugues LIMITED may also be obliged to disclose your personal information to meet any legal or regulatory requirements or obligations in accordance with applicable law.
Length of data retention and Data Maintenance
The time period for which we keep information varies according to what the information is used for. In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the information, we will retain it for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is to be further processed.
The data may be stored on one or more databases directly or indirectly maintained by J M Portugues LIMITED. We employ industry standard security measures to protect the confidentiality of the information, but whilst we cannot guarantee that any loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, every effort is made to prevent such occurrences. Any particularly sensitive information (such as credit card details) is encrypted prior to transmission to us and will only be stored in encrypted systems.
