Who does this Privacy Statement refer to?
This statement refers to all parties (job candidates, employees, clients, contractors, suppliers and other interested parties etc.) whose personal data is processed by us.

Who must follow this Privacy Statement?
Our employees must follow this policy. Contractors, consultants, partners and any other external entity are also required to comply. Generally, this Statement applies to anyone we collaborate with or who acts on our behalf and may need occasional access to data.

What data is included?
As part of our services, we need to obtain and process data. This data includes any offline physical data or online data that makes a person identifiable such as names, addresses, phone numbers, usernames and passwords, IP addresses, any online identifier, CCTV, bio-metrics, digital footprints, photographs, social security numbers, financial data etc. It also may include one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, cultural or social identity of that person.
When ordering online or by phone, registering on our websites, using Live Chat, submitting forms or providing us with feedback on our products or services you may be asked for your name, email address, phone number, credit card information or other details to help you with your experience.

How do we use your information?
We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:
To personalise your experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
To improve our website in order to enhance your experience.
To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
To quickly process your transactions.
To ask for ratings and reviews of services or products.
To follow up after correspondence (live chat, email or phone inquiries)
To protect against any unauthorised or illegal processing by internal or external parties
The technical data may be used for administrative and statistical purposes and may be shared with our internet service provider. We may use this information to help us to improve our website. This technical data does not provide us with the personal data of visitors to our website.

Web browsing
By simply visiting our website you do not disclose, nor do we collect, personal data on you. All that we may know about your visit may be limited to technical data such as:
· The logical address (or IP address) of the server you used to access this website
· The top level domain name from which you access the internet (for example .ie, .com, .org, .net)
· The previous website address from which you reached us
· The type of web-browser you used
· Web traffic data.

Data retention
We retain personal data for no longer than is allowed under data protection law and, in any case, no longer than such personal data is necessary for the purpose for which it was processed. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
As a registered user of our websites we will retain your Identity, Contact, Profile, Technical, Usage, Marketing and Communications Data for as long as your user account is live. We retain the personal data you provide while your account is in existence or as needed to provide you access to our websites. Even if you only use the Website or any other Cyclone service occasionally, we will retain your Identity, Contact, Profile, Technical, Usage, Marketing and Communications Data until you decide to close your user account. We retain personal data for longer if required by applicable law or regulation or justified under applicable statutory limitation periods.

Security of data
Cyclone takes seriously its security obligations in respect of your personal data under the Data Protection Acts to prevent unauthorised access to, or alteration or destruction of personal data in our possession. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order to maintain the safety of your personal information. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Disclosure of data
Your personal information may also be processed by other organisations on our behalf for the purposes outlined above. We may disclose your information to partners, associates, agents or subcontractors and to possible successors to our business. Some of these parties may reside outside the European Economic Area (which currently comprises the Member states of the European Union plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). If we do this, your information will be treated to the same standards adopted in Ireland. We may also disclose your information for the prevention and detection of crime and to protect the interests of Cyclone or others, or if required to do so by law or other binding request.

Clients
Where you, as a Data Controller, engage the services of Cyclone, we will act as Data Processors on your behalf. In doing so, we will: –

10. Cyclone Cookie Policy – how we use cookies on our websites

We use cookies across our websites to improve performance and enhance your user experience. The information below explains how that is done.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way. There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username & preferences and analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.
Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our websites, or a user’s general location.

What sort of cookies does Cyclone use?
Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:
1. Essential cookies
Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, some cookies allow us to identify members and ensure they can access the member only pages. If a member opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content available.
2. Performance Cookies
We utilise other cookies to analyse how our visitors use our websites and to monitor website performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customising our offering and quickly identifying and fixing any issues that arise. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website.
3. Functionality Cookies
We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access a site, and recall your customisation preferences, such as the latest version of a product or service that you saw.
We also use functionality cookies to provide you with enhanced services such as allowing you to watch a video online.
4. Behaviourally Targeted Advertising Cookies
Cyclone uses cookies to serve you with advertisements that we believe are relevant to you and your interests. For example, if you read a number of articles on office products on other sites, we might infer you are interested in this topic and serve you with advertisements. You might see these advertisements on other sites that you visit. We do not tell our advertisers who you are.

Does anyone else use cookies on Cyclone websites?
Advertisers sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising. For example, advertisers may use a profile they have built on sites that you have previously visited to present you with more relevant advertisements during your visit to a Cyclone website.
We believe that it is useful to our users to see advertisements that are more relevant to their interests. If you are based in the European Union and would like to learn more about how advertisers use these types of cookies or to choose not to receive them, please visit www.youronlinechoices.eu . If you are based in the United States and would like to learn more, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
We also use or allow third parties to serve cookies that fall into the four categories above. For example, like many companies, we use Google Analytics to help us monitor our website traffic. We may also use third party cookies to help us with market research, revenue tracking, improving site functionality and monitoring compliance with our terms and conditions and copyright policy.

Can a website user block cookies?
Yes, although cookies help you to get the most out of our websites.
The first time you accessed our website you may have seen an overlay which explained that by continuing to access our site, you are consenting to our use of cookies. However, if you do wish to disable our cookies then please follow the instructions on our “How to Manage Cookies” page.
Please remember that if you do choose to disable cookies, you may find that certain sections of our website do not work properly

Do we track whether users open our emails?
Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should select to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.

More Information
More detail on how businesses use cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

How to manage cookies
As we explain in our Cookie Policy, cookies help you to get the most out of our websites.
If you do disable our cookies you may find that certain sections of our website do not work. For example, you may have difficulties logging in or viewing articles.

How to disable behaviourally targeted advertising cookies
If you are concerned about behaviourally targeted advertising cookies, users based in the European Union can visit www.youronlinechoices.eu and users based in the US can visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ to opt out of these third party cookies. The above websites are not Cyclone websites and we are not responsible for their content.
