WEB SITE PRIVACY POLICY
InBev UK Limited (“InBev”) may collect certain information about you in the course of your use of this InBev web site (the “Web Site”). We take privacy and security of your information seriously and will only use such personal information as set out in this privacy policy.
By using the Web Site and submitting your information to us you agree to us using your personal information in accordance with this policy. Your consent may be express or implied depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and will take different forms depending on the circumstances.
If you do not agree with any term in this policy, please do not provide personal information on this web site. This policy also sets out what you can do if you do not want your personal information collected when you visit our web site, and how you can change the information you have already provided to us.
If you choose not to provide personal information on this web site, you may not be able to do certain things, like participating in contests, accessing particular areas of the site or sending us e-mail.
InBev UK Limited is registered on the public register of data controllers maintained by the Information Commissioner. We work strictly in line with the Data Protection Act 1998 (as amended).
What information do we collect?
This policy covers personal information. Personal information means personally identifiable information such as your name and address, telephone number, or e-mail address and password.
We collect personal information on our users in two ways:
- Through registration and information that we request that you enter on certain pages on the Web Site; and / or
- through cookies (for more information about cookies, please see below).
- The information we collect from your use of the website includes your email address, time and date of entering the website. Other information we may ask for from time to time (for instance, when a user wishes to enter a contest or other promotional feature) includes full name, postcode and date of birth. We also ask some further, voluntary questions so we can gain a clearer understanding of our users.
- 'Cookies' are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. They are primarily used to store information about your preferences and other information which you may need when you visit a website. They also make it possible for us to identify registered users without needing to ask for registration details every time you access one of our sites. Using cookies makes accessing our sites more convenient as you don't need to remember your username and password each time you enter.
Occasionally, we may also use cookies to track registered or unregistered users as they travel through the site - for instance, we might use cookies to count the total number of unique users who are accessing the site over a particular period of time. This information, will be treated as statistics which we use in aggregate form to improve the content and navigation on our Web Site. We do not, in the normal course, link server log information to other personal information in order to identify individual visitors. This information will never be shared with a third party.
If you are concerned about cookies, you can turn them off in your browser and opt out at the registration screen. However, if you do this please note that some areas of the site may not work properly.
By reviewing the personal information you provide, combined with your navigation habits on the website (see “cookies” below), we have a better understanding of your preferences, needs and interests. We can then develop a customized personal profile for you in order to provide you with the optimum site experience and in order to be able to contact you about products, promotions and services in which we believe you would be most interested.
Uses of Personal Information
In this website, we collect different types of information about our users for the following reasons:
- To help us to improve the services we offer;
- To provide personalized services unique to individual users;
- To inform you about a competition;
- To send you information about InBev UK and its career opportunities; or
- To provide third parties with aggregate – but not individual – information about visitors to or users of our web site
If there are other purposes than identified above, InBev will identify the purposes for which it wishes to collect your personal information at or before the time the information is collected or before using your personal information for a purpose not previously identified.
Where we collect registration information from an individual, we will not share that individual's information with a third party, including an advertiser, without that user's explicit prior permission, except where a government, regulatory body or the law requires us to disclose your personal information.
Your information may be used by InBev UK Limited and other companies within the InBev group.
International Transfers of personal information
InBev will not transfer the personal information outside the European Economic Area, unless the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection, as compared to the data protection laws of the European Union Countries.
InBev will take steps, through contractual or other means, to ensure that third parties processing the data, provide a level of protection for personal information that is comparable to that which InBev provides for personal information in its possession.
Retention
InBev will retain your personal information only as long as necessary for fulfillment of the purposes described above or as required by law.
Security
InBev has taken reasonable measures (physical, organisational and technological) to safeguard against unauthorised access to your personally identifiable information (for example to ensure that email communications are only accessible by the designated recipients at InBev or their suppliers) and to safely store your personally identifiable information. However, the Internet is not a secure medium and the privacy of your communications and personal information can never be guaranteed. InBev has no control over the practices of third parties (e.g. website links to this Web Site, third-party sponsors; third parties who misrepresent themselves as you or someone else).
Changes to this Policy
We may change this policy and our terms and conditions from time to time and will post the latest version of the privacy policy on the Web Site. If we ever wish to use your personal information in a way which is incompatible with the information in this Privacy Policy, we will only do so with your consent.
Updating and accessing your information
If you have indicated on the registration form that you wish to receive direct marketing material, your personal details will be included in a database compiled for direct marketing purposes. From time to time, you may receive direct marketing information from us or from third parties.
If you have indicated that you wish to receive direct marketing material or email updates from InBev or its partners, but subsequently change your mind, you should notify us by clicking on the "Contact Us" Icon on the Web Site. Alternatively you may write to us at: Inbev UK Limited, Customer Services, Porter Tun House, 500 Capability Green, Luton, Bedfordshire, LU1 3LS. As soon as is reasonably practical, we will remove your name from the relevant database.
You have a right under the Data Protection Act 1998 to access the information we hold about you, subject to certain conditions. If at any time you wish to update or correct any personally identifiable information you have provided, or you no longer wish us to collect, use or disclose any personally identifiable information for the purposes described above, please do not hesitate to contact us by clicking on the small envelope "Contact Us" Icon on the Web Site.
