However, if you should choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with any services available on or through the egbucks Site and Features (the “Services”).

When you visit the egbucks Site, a web server sends a cookie or other similar technology to your computer or mobile device (as the case may be). Cookies are small pieces of information which are issued to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or access or use a mobile application and which store and sometimes track information. Some cookies we use may last only for the duration of your web or application session and expire when you close your browser or exit the egbucks Site.

The cookies and/or other similar technologies we use collect a variety of relevant information, such as the type of internet browser or mobile device you use, any website from which you have come to the egbucks Site, your IP address and/or the operating system of your computer or mobile device. We use cookies and/or other similar technologies, such as tracking GIFs, web beacons, pixel codes and in-app IDs, either alone or in combination with each other to create a unique device ID and to:
remember that you have visited us before. This means we can identify the number of unique visitors we receive. This allows us to make sure we have enough capacity for the number of users that we get;
customise elements of the promotional layout and/or content of the pages of the egbucks Site;
collect anonymous statistical information about how you use the egbucks Site and Features (including how long you spend on the egbucks Site) and where you have come to the egbucks Site from, so that we can improve the egbucks Site and learn which parts of the egbucks Site are most popular with users; and
gather information about the pages on the egbucks Site and Features, and also other information about other websites that you visit, so as to place you in a “market segment”.
We may disclose aggregate statistics about users of the egbucks Site in order to describe our business and Services to prospective partners, advertisers, sponsors and other reputable third parties and for other lawful purposes, but these statistics will include no personally identifiable information. We may disclose your personal information to any of our affiliates, or to our agents or contractors who assist us in providing the Services we offer through the egbucks Site and Features, processing transactions, to view order references and/or order fulfillment requests and information, receiving and sending communications, updating marketing lists, analysing data, providing IT and other support services, or in other tasks, from time to time. Our agents and contractors will only use your information to the extent necessary to perform their functions. In the event that we undergo re-organisation or are sold to a third party, you agree that any personal information we hold about you may be transferred to that re-organised entity or third party. We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber crime or to protect the egbucks Site and Features or the rights, property or personal safety of any person.
The egbucks Site and Features may, from time to time, make chat rooms, message boards, news groups and/or other public forums available to its users. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. You should exercise caution when using these and never disclose your personal information that you do not wish to be known publicly.

The egbucks Site may, from time to time, contain links to merchants, market research companies, or other external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites.
We place great importance on the security of all personal information associated with our users. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under our control. For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised personnel have access to personal information. Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we attempt to use all reasonable efforts to prevent it. You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the egbucks Site and Features whilst it is in transit over the internet and any such submission is at your own risk.

Information that you submit via the egbucks Site and Features is sent to and stored on secure servers located in the United States of America and may be transferred by us to our other offices and/or to the third parties, who may be situated in the United States of America or elsewhere outside the EEA and may be processed by staff operating outside the EEA (see Information sharing). The US and other non-EEA countries do not have similar data protection laws to the EEA, and you should be aware in particular that the law and practice in the United States in respect of law enforcement authority access to data is significantly different from Europe. Where we transfer your information we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected consistent with our obligations under local law. By submitting information via the website, you agree to this storing, processing and/or transfer.

On request, we will provide you with a copy of this information. You also have a right to correct any errors in that information. You also have the right to delete that information, but in that case we may necessarily have to close your account and your participation in any of our Rewards Programs, as we would be unable to continue to offer you our Services. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please submit your requests by completing the online form located here – GDPR Privacy Requests.
