Why do you need to collect my personal information?

When you place an order with us we collect certain personal information from you, for example, your name, postal address, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and credit/debit card numbers. We use this information to identify you as a customer, to process your order to deliver products, to process payments and to update our records. We also use this information to generally manage your account with us and to provide you with information about our products.

We will also collect personal information from you at other times, such as if you register to receive email updates from us or to enter a competition (even if you do not place an order with us). This will be used to provide you with information about our products.

Sometimes we may ask you for other details, for example product preferences, age and any special dates (such as birthday and anniversary). These will be used to enhance our service to you. Providing us with this sort of information is entirely voluntary, however we may not be able to process your order if you do not provide us with all the requested information.

Entering a competition

If you enter a competition, information is collected to check the entry. It may also be used to contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. If you have agreed to do so we may also use this personal information to inform you of other products and special offers from Chickenguard and/or provide your personal information to other carefully selected companies or organisations in order that they may inform you of their products and services. In order to use your personal information as stated above, we may share that information with affiliates of Chickenguard provided that the same are located within the EU.

Do you give my personal information to other third parties?

Where you have consented to our doing so we may share the information you have provided with partners of Chickenguard. We may also share this information with other carefully selected companies or organisations in order that they may inform you of their products and services.

In certain circumstances we may share your information with our partner companies and service providers (including the companies we have chosen to handle our order dispatch service and our delivery company) who act on our behalf with activities such as

  • fulfilling orders
  • processing payments
  • carrying out promotional services
  • data management

We will only provide these companies with the information which they need to carry out their services and they will not be allowed to use the information for other purposes. They will only be allowed to use your information in the way in which we instruct them and as permitted by the UK’s Data Protection Act 1998.

You also acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances we may be obliged to disclose personal information relating to you to third parties, for example, in order to

  • conform to any requirements of law
  • comply with any legal process
  • to prevent and detect fraud
  • to protect and defend the rights and property of Chickenguard

At all times where we disclose your information for the purposes of fraud prevention it will remain secure.

Sending your data overseas

It may be necessary for us to transfer your information to countries outside the European Union which do not provide the same level of protection as the UK. If we for any reason need to do so, we will make sure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Statement and the UK’s Data Protection Act 1998 and other applicable data protection laws so that your personal data is kept secure.

What about third party sites you link to?

The Chickenguard Online Shop sometimes contains links to other websites not controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data collected or the content of such other websites. The operators of these linked websites are not under a duty to abide by our Privacy Statement. If there are terms and conditions, other privacy statements or policies appearing on those websites, you should also review them carefully as your use of those sites may be subject to them.

How do you protect my personal information?

Chickenguard has a committed Security Policy. We are registered in accordance with United Kingdom Data Protection Legislation and will hold and use your personal data strictly in accordance with UK data protection legislation. Chickenguard will retain copies of the information provided when you register on the website, order any products and enter into any competitions on the site. Chickenguard implements a number of sophisticated security measures to ensure the safety of any personal information provided.

  • Your information is contained on a secure server database, which is accessible only by a limited number of employees who have authorised access rights to such information.
  • When you are asked to enter any personal details or credit/debit card information you can be assured that the website will be secure. This is easily identifiable by an icon in the bottom of the browser window resembling an unbroken key or a closed lock.
  • All sensitive and credit/debit card information you supply to the Chickenguard Online Shop is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This ensures that the information being sent is secure. Your card number will be encrypted and replaced by a unique transaction reference number (find out more about SSL).
  • Chickenguard uses online bank secure servers provided by Nochex and does not hold any customer card details on any Chickenguard server at any time.
  • Your personal information is password-protected to prevent unauthorised access to it. Do not divulge your password to anyone.

What is SSL?

Now for the technical bit! SSL is commonly-used for managing the security of message transmission on the Internet through public-and-private key encryption and a digital certificate that establishes your credentials when doing Internet business or other on-line transactions. This certificate is issued by a certification authority, in our case Nochex. To see the certificate for this site visit www.nochex.com.

What should I do to protect my personal information?

Your personal information is password-protected to prevent unauthorised access to it. We recommend that you:

  • create a password that cannot be easily guessed (as a guide a mixture of 6-8 letters and numbers is best)
  • do not divulge your password to anyone
  • change your password from time to time

How do I remove my personal information?

If you wish to remove your personal information from this site then please email [email protected] or alternatively, you can write to us at:

How do I unsubscribe from Chickenguard Online Shop emails?

If you have registered to receive email updates from us, and you no longer wish to receive these, you can remove your email address from our list by using the unsubscribe link which is included on all email updates.

What is your policy for children using the site?

We understand that many children will visit the Chickenguard Online Shop but encourages all persons under 13 to talk with their parents or legal guardian before submitting any information to this website or indeed any other website. However, Chickenguard believes that ultimately it is the responsibility of parents or legal guardians to supervise children when online and recommends that parental control tools be put in place.

No information collected from anyone under the age of 18 will be used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatever as is stated when you register for competitions or promotions. Although anyone under the age of 13 is able to participate in competitions and promotions, notification of a win or prize will be sent directly to the parent or legal guardian identified in the initial registration process. Any publication of a competition winner’s personal details for visitors under 18 will require parental or legal guardian consent during registration.
