Use of Cookies
We collect some information about you through the use of cookies.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) groups them into three overlapping groups which are described below.
Session Cookies
Files that allow a site to link the actions of a visitor during a single browser session. These might be used by an internet bank or webmail service. They are not stored long term and are considered 'less privacy intrusive' than persistent cookies.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on the user's device between sessions and allow one or several sites to remember details about the visitor. They may be used by marketers to target advertising or to avoid the user having to provide a password each visit.
First-Party and Third-Party
A cookie is classed as being first-party if it is set by the site being visited. It might be used to study how people navigate a site.
It is classed as third-party if it is issued by a different server to that of the domain being visited. It could be used to trigger a banner advert based on the visitor's viewing habits.
Please note that third party providers (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies to assess the ways in which you make use of various sites. JKS UK Ltd has no control over these. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

In the future it is possible that we will collect the personal data that you may volunteer while using our Website and/or our services, for example your name, contact details, property information (such as address and number of occupants) and payment information, such as credit or debit card information and billing address. We may also collect information about your usage of the Website and/or our services from the emails or letters you send to us or any calls you make to us.
Some of this information is collected and processed so that the contract with you can be performed, some for the purpose of legal compliance and some for the purposes of our legitimate business interests (subject to your rights), namely to analyse the use of our Website and services and for internal training purposes in order to continually improve our business and services.
We will use your personal information to (a) provide you with access to the relevant parts of the Website; (b) supply the services you have requested and (c) improve our Website and services to ensure you get the best online experience. It will also enable us to bill you and to contact you where necessary about our services. We will also use the information we collect from you [for the purposes of statistical analysis] and to help us prevent fraud.
Where you have consented at the time we collected your data or where we otherwise have a right to do so, we may use your information to let you know about our products and services that may be of interest to you and/or inform you about important changes or developments to the Website or our services, by post, telephone, mobile messaging (e.g. SMS, MMS etc.) as well as by e-mail.
If you change your mind about us using your data in the ways described in this policy, please let us know by contacting us using the details set out in section 11 below [and/or changing your account settings]. You may also opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the instructions outlined in the communication that you receive.
Privacy Policy Call Recording
Please note that, subject to receiving your consent, we may record all inbound and outbound telephone calls made to and by our customer support centre for training and quality purposes. In addition, where we receive your consent to do so, in some instances we may be required to send call recordings to third parties for whom we sell products or services over the phone. This is so that they can monitor the quality of our calls when selling their products or services.
Sharing Your Information
The information you provide to us will be transferred to and stored on our servers in the UK.
If JKS UK Ltd enters into a joint venture with, purchases or is sold to or merges with another business entity, your information may be disclosed or transferred to the target company, our new business partners or owners or their advisors.
We may use the information that you provide to us if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with (and/or where we believe we are under a duty to comply with) any legal obligation; or in order to enforce our Code of Practice and any other agreement; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of JKS UK ltd, its customers, its employees or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and other organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and prevention.

We do not collect information about our visitors from other sources, such as public records or bodies, or private organisations and, to the extent that we do, the relevant third party is responsible for obtaining the relevant consents from you to ensure you are happy with the ways in which your personal data will be used.
Confidentiality/Security, Data Transfers Outside the EEA and Data Retention
We give you the option of using a secure log in account in which to send us personal data such as usernames and passwords. Where you have chosen a password which allows you to access such an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We advise you not to share your password with anyone.
We take steps to protect your information from unauthorised access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will only keep your information for as long as we reasonably require and, in any event, only for as long as Data Protection Legislation allows.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website; any transmission is at your own risk.
We have implemented security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from:
· Unauthorised access
· Improper use or disclosure
· Unauthorised modification
· Unlawful destruction or accidental loss
All our employees and suppliers, who have access to, and are associated with the processing of personal data, are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors' personal data.
We ensure that your personal data will not be disclosed to State institutions and authorities except if required by law or other regulation.
The information that we collect from you may also be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. This includes staff engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you are acknowledging this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and the Data Protection Legislation. This means that we will only transfer your information to third parties that (a) are in countries that have been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate protection to personal information; or (b) have agreed to provide all protections to your personal information as set out in the Data Protection Legislation.
