UK2Numbers is legally registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. This Data
Protection Policy establishes how we handle the information we learn about

is of utmost importance to us. Protecting your privacy and your personal

our activities on-line and off-line.
Purpose
Specifications and Data Collection
The specific practices outlined in this privacy
statement apply to the web sites of UK2Numbers, UK2Talk and UK2Telecom
(UK2Group Web sites). In general, you can browse the UK2Group Web sites
without disclosing any information about yourself. If you visit the UK2Group
Web sites to read or download information, we collect and store only the
following information that is automatically recognised: the date and time,
the originating IP address, the domain name, the type of browser and operating
system used (if provided by the browser), the URL of the referring page

Cookies
and Other Technologies
As described above, we sometimes collect anonymous
information from visits to our site to help us provide better customer
service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit
and we also measure visitor activity on the UK2Group Web sites, but we
do so in ways that keep the information anonymous. We use the information
that we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different areas
of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. This
includes analysing these logs periodically to measure the traffic through
our servers, the number of pages visited and the level of demand for pages
and topics of interest. The logs may be preserved indefinitely and used
at any time and in any way to prevent security breaches and to ensure the
integrity of the data on our servers.
We collect the anonymous information we mentioned
above through the use of various technologies, one of which is called "cookies".
A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser,
which may then be stored on your hard drive. The following information
is stored in the cookies and does not relate to any of your personal information:
- Session ID
- Session number
Also, when we collect personal data from you
in connection with a transaction we may extract some information about
that transaction in an anonymous format and combine it with other anonymous
information.
This anonymous information is used and analysed
only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patters. None
of this information is reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want
your transaction details used in this manner, you can either disable your
cookies or opt-out at the order or request stage.
We do not associate the information stored in
a visitor's cookie with any other personal data about that visitor.
All our employees and processors who have access
to personal data and are associated with the processing of that data are
obliged to respect the confidentiality of data.

we reserve the right to refuse to send you the personal data.
