pubwatch websites (including www.westconwypubwatch.co.uk and any of its sub domains, the “Website”),
mobile applications (“Mobile Apps”), and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to provide you with a clear explanation of when, why and how we

Policy is not intended to override the terms of any contract you have with us, nor any rights you might have

2. What information do we collect?
2.1. Visitor and User Information
We collect two types of information regarding our Visitors and Users:
Un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a Visitor or un-identified User, which may be
made available to us, or collected automatically via his/her use of the Services (“Non-personal
Information”). Such Non-personal Information does not enable us to identify the Visitor or User from whom
it was collected. The Non-personal Information collected by us mainly consists of technical and aggregated
usage information, such as Visitors’ and Users’ browsing and ‘click-stream’ activity on the Services, session
heat maps and scrolls, non-identifying information regarding the Visitor’s or User’s device, operating system,
internet browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet service provider, referring/exit
pages, date/time stamps, etc.
Individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with
reasonable efforts cause the identification of an individual, or may be of private or sensitive nature
(“Personal Information”). The Personal Information collected by us mainly consists of contact details (e.g.,
e-mail address or phone number), billing details (name, physical billing address, payment method and
transaction details), which are only collected from Users with Paid Services, details regarding a browsing or
usage session (IP address, Geo-location and/or device unique identifier), details regarding connected third
party accounts (such as the e-mail or username for a connected PayPal, Google or Facebook account),
scanned identification documents provided to us (such as an ID card, driver’s license, passport or official
company registration documents), correspondences (including those made through or uploaded to our
Services), and any other Personal Information provided to us by Visitors and/or Users through their access to
and/or use of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-personal Information that is connected or
linked to Personal Information (for example, in order to improve the Services we offer) is deemed and
treated by us as Personal Information, as long as such connection or linkage exists.

with you (e.g. to provide you with a website builder, to provide you with our customer assistance and

Services.
We may continue to retain such Personal Information even after you deactivate your User Account and/or

13. Security
West Conwy Pubwatch has implemented security measures designed to protect the Personal Information you
share with us, including physical, electronic and procedural measures. Among other things, we offer HTTPS
secure access to most areas on our Services; the transmission of sensitive payment information (such as a
credit card number) through our designated purchase forms is protected by an industry standard SSL/TLS
encrypted connection; and we regularly maintain a PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standards) certification. We also regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks, and
regularly seek new ways and Third Party Services for further enhancing the security of our Services and
protection of our Visitors’ and Users’ privacy.
Regardless of the measures and efforts taken by West Conwy Pubwatch, we cannot and do not guarantee the
absolute protection and security of your Personal Information, your Users-of-Users’ Information or any other
User Content you upload, publish or otherwise share with West Conwy Pubwatch or anyone else.
We therefore encourage you to set strong passwords for your User Account and User Website, and avoid
providing us or anyone with any sensitive information of which you believe its disclosure could cause you
substantial or irreparable harm. Furthermore, because certain areas on our Services are less secure than
others (for example, if you set your Support forum ticket to be “Public” instead of “Private”, or if you
browse to a non-SSL page), and since e-mail and instant messaging are not recognized as secure forms of
communications, we request and encourage you not to share any Personal Information on any of these areas
or via any of these methods.
If you have any questions regarding the security of our Services, you are welcome to contact us at
westconwypubwatch@mail.com
14. Public forums and user content
Our Services offer publicly accessible blogs, communities and support forums. Please be aware that any
information you provide in any such areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them. To
request removal of your Personal Information from our blogs, communities or forums, feel free to contact us
at: westconwypubwatch@mail.com. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your Personal Information
from such areas. For example, if you use a third party application to post a comment (e.g., the Facebook
social plugin application) while logged in to your related profile with such third party, you must login into such application or contact its provider if you want to remove the Personal Information you posted on that
platform.
In any event, we advise against posting any information (or use any posting means to post information) you
don’t wish to publicize on these platforms.
If you upload any User Content to your User Account or post it on your User Website and provide it in any
other way as part of the use of any Service, you do so at your own risk.
We have put adequate security measures in place to protect your Personal Information. However, we cannot
control the actions of other Users or members of the public who may access your User Content, and are not
responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures you or we may have placed on
your User Website (including, for instance, password-protected areas on your User Website). You understand
and acknowledge that, even after its removal by you or us, copies of User Content may remain viewable in
cached and archived pages or if any third parties (including any of your Users-of-Users) have copied or
stored such User Content. To clarify, we advise against uploading or posting any information you do not
wish to be public.
15. Updates and interpretation
We may update this Privacy Policy as required by applicable law, and to reflect changes to our information
collection, usage and storage practices. If we make any changes that we deem as “material” (in our sole good
faith discretion), we will notify you prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to
periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
Unless stated otherwise, our most current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you
and your Users-of-Users, with respect to our Website and Mobile Apps.
