Privacy Policy

Bear Behind Privacy Policy

At Bear Behind, we value your privacy and the security of your personal information. We have never, and will never, sell or share your details with other companies or individuals. We wouldn’t want that done to us, so we won’t do it to you.

This page might be a bit long, but we want to reassure you that we’ve taken all the necessary steps to keep your data safe with us.
So, grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine—our personal recommendation) and have a read…

Why We Updated Our Privacy Policy

On 25th May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect, setting new standards for data protection across Europe. This law is a great step forward in ensuring your personal data is handled securely and transparently.

In light of these changes, we’ve updated our Privacy Policy to make sure it complies with the GDPR.

How We Store Your Data

We take the security of your personal information seriously. Electronic data is stored on secure computers, while non-electronic data is also kept safely. We only keep the minimum information necessary to work with you as a client or supplier.

Cookies

Unfortunately, not the biscuit kind. A cookie is a small file placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. Once you accept, the cookie helps the site track how you use it and lets the site tailor its content to your preferences.

We use cookies to analyse web traffic and improve our site. This helps us understand which pages are useful to you. Rest assured, cookies don’t give us access to your computer or any personal information beyond what you choose to share.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most browsers accept them automatically, but you can modify your settings to refuse them if you prefer. Just be aware that this might affect how well the website works for you.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect general data about how visitors use our website. This helps us see how many people visit different sections of the site, which makes us quite happy!

The information gathered is anonymous, and we don’t attempt to identify individual users. We’ve ensured that Google won’t either. If that changes, we’d stop using their service immediately.

Mailing Lists

We promise, no spam! We’ll only send you useful information, and not constantly. The only details we collect for this are your first name and email address so we can personalise newsletters for you.

As we’ve mentioned, we will never sell or rent your details to anyone else. Ever.

Access to Your Personal Information

You have the right to view, change, or delete the personal data we hold about you. If you’d like to do that, just send an email to our data protection officer, Katie, at dpo@bearbehind.co.uk.

Links to Other Websites

Sometimes, our website contains links to other websites, such as our clients’ sites. We encourage you to check them out, but remember, once you leave our site, we can’t control how other websites handle your data. Always check their privacy policies to be sure.

Updates to This Policy

We’ll update this Privacy Policy as needed, either when we have new information or when the law requires it. The last update was on Saturday, 9th June 2018.

So, that wasn’t too bad, right? More tea (or wine)?
