We may collect non-personally identifiable information about you in the course of your interaction with our site. This information may include technical information about the browser or type of device you're using. This information will be used purely for the purposes of analytics and tracking the number of visitors to our site.

We will not collect any personal data from you that we do not need in order to provide and oversee the services we have agreed to provide you with. We do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age; our website, products and services are only provided to users who are at least 13 years old or older.

Sharing and disclosing your personal information

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is processed securely. We do not share or disclose any of it without your consent, other than for the purposes specified in this notice, or where there is a legal requirement or to enforce our terms and conditions.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Please be aware, however, that your information may be transferred to and stored on a cloud-based system whose servers are located within the European Union (EU). Should your personal data be stored or transferred to parties outside of the EU, it will be afforded the same level of protection set out in this policy.

RSMegane.com uses third-party providers to provide the following necessary business functions and services:

  • Web hosting, backup and storage.
  • Analytics
  • Newsletter emails.
  • Transactional emails.
  • Forum/community data such as user accounts.
  • E-commerce websites for payment processing.
  • Handling of client data, websites and associated databases.

The following third-party services act in accordance with our instructions and fully comply with this and their own Privacy Notice. They have committed to being GDPR compliant by 25th May 2018, and conform with all other applicable data protection laws and appropriate confidentiality and security measures including but not limited to the EU-US Privacy Shield for those third-party providers who handle or store data outside the UK or the EU, for example through data servers or relays.

Our website contains some affiliate marketing links, which means we get paid commission on sales of those products or services users post about or we write about. Our editorial content is not influenced by advertisers or affiliate partnerships. We use a 3rd Party to enable these affiliate partnerships. You can read their Privacy Policy and find more information on the cookies they use below.

Keeping your data secure

We are committed to ensuring that any information you provide to us is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable measures and procedures to safeguard and secure the information that we collect.

Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) is encrypted and protected with secure server software (SSL) with 256-bit encryption: the industry standard for secure commercial transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear in the browser address bar. Our choice of payment providers allows us to never hold your credit card details on our website. When making a payment you are dealing direct with the merchant to make the transaction and not RSMegane.com.

Non-sensitive personal details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us; any transmission is at your own risk.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to ensure its security on our systems and try to prevent any unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
