Use of Cookies

Scalptist is committed to continually improving its user experience for visitors and customers visiting
our websites, including through the use of cookies.

A cookie is a small text file sent by a web server to be stored on a web browser, so that it can later be
read back from that browser the next time a unique visitor returns to that web server. This is useful as
it allows the browser to remember specific information about visitors, including their IP address,
location of their last visit, the time spent on the websites, the site they last came from and visit next,
and the web browser version and operating system that the visitor is using. This information is used to
analyse trends, audit traffic levels and give Scalptist useful statistical information on all visitors so that
we can improve the website experience now and in the future.

Cookies set up by Scalptist are only accessible by Scalptist and not by any other website. The
exception to this is when server log data is provided to legal entities as outlined in the Security Access
section below.

Scalptist may link to 3rd party sites. Since we do not control those sites, we encourage you to review
the privacy policies of those sites. Any information that is supplied on those sites will not be within our
control and we are not held responsible for the privacy policies and practices of such sites.

Where we store your personal data

We use accepted standards to store and protect the personal data we collect, including the use of
encryption if appropriate.

All data you provide to us is stored on our secured servers within the UK. In some circumstances,
your information may be transferred to and stored in a country outside the EEA in relation to provision
of the services. The laws in these countries may not provide you with the same protection as in the
EEA; however, any 3rd party referred to above outside of the EEA has agreed to abide by European
Data Protection laws in respect of the transfer of your data, processing and storage of any personal
data. By giving your data to us, you consent to its transfer and storage. However, we will ensure that
reasonable steps are taken to protect your data in accordance with this privacy policy.

to prevent unauthorised access, the transfer of data via the internet can never be fully guaranteed.
Therefore all data you transfer to this site is at your own risk.

laws are complied with where necessary.
