Privacy Policy

General

In this Privacy Policy, a reference to "us" or to "we" is a reference to RaboDirect and Brando, the advertising agency that provides certain services to RaboDirect in connection with this Website. We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting the privacy of any information that you provide when you use this website (the "Website"). (This policy is our promise to you.)

When you use the Website, you are deemed to consent to the practices set out in this Privacy Policy.

Any information that you provide when you use the Website will be treated by us according to the highest standards of security and confidentiality including in accordance with the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 and the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 2003, in each case as amended and/or replaced from time to time. (We understand your data is important, and we promise to take good care of it.)

Processing personal data

Any personal data collected by us about you may be processed by us to enable you to receive notifications of comments posted to the Website in response to comments or truths posted by you. Such personal data may include your email address and your IP address. RaboDirect may disclose your data to its agents, dealers and service providers for these purposes, or to companies within the Rabobank group, or as required by law. (In other words, we will only use your data for reasons that you agree to in this policy.)

RaboDirect's ezine and eflashes

If you decide to register, through the Website, to receive RaboDirect's ezine and eflashes you will be directed to the RaboDirect website (www.rabodirect.ie) and should read carefully the Privacy Policy and related documents contained on that website, as that Privacy Policy and related documents will set out how our personal data will be treated, and related matters. (We promise that wherever we collect your data, we will keep it safe and only use it for what it is intended for.)

Consulting personal data

You have the right to consult any personal data that we have collected about you, and to have any errors in that personal data rectified. To exercise this right, please send a written request (which should be signed and dated) to RaboDirect at FREEPOST F4006, PO Box 10152, Dublin 1. (Just let us know if we need to update your data).

Exclusion of liability

Neither us nor our respective directors, employees, servants, agents, affiliates, other representatives, parent companies, subsidiary companies or group companies shall be liable to you in respect of any claims, emergencies, demands, causes of action, damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and costs of proceedings) arising out of, or in connection with, the use and/or dissemination of personal data or information relating to you in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any consents provided by you.

Other websites and third parties

Please note that if you link to another website from the Website, we will have no control over that other website (unless, in the case of RaboDirect, that website is www.rabodirect.ie). We have no responsibility for the privacy practices of other websites (unless, in the case of RaboDirect, that website is www.rabodirect.ie). You should note that third parties may also provide certain functionality to this Website (including the ability to forward content to a friend). In this case, the privacy policies of those third parties will apply and we have no responsibility for the content of those privacy policies, or the privacy practices of those third parties. (Plus, we are not responsible for your neighbour's dog or your latest hairstyle.)

Contents

Please note that the contents of the Website, including this Privacy Policy, are subject to change by us without notification to you. The information contained on this Website may be updated from time to time and may, at times, be out-of-date. We do not accept any responsibility to you for keeping the information on this Website up-to-date, or any liability for any failure to do so.

Cookies (just plain, not chocolate chip)

We will collect statistical data about visitor activity to the Website by using cookies. Cookies are small text files that a website can use to identify visitors. They are automatically issued to the computer that you use when you access the Website, and are stored by the browser on that computer's hard drive. These cookies do not collect any personal information, but merely identify visitors and returning visitors to a website. The type of data relating to use of the Website that we will collect will include the number of visitors, where those visitors come from, the date and time of the visit, the number of pages viewed, exit pages and navigation patterns. We will use this information to create statistics that could improve this Website and related advertising and marketing campaigns. Unless you have indicated your objection may be issued to the computer that you use when you access the Website. You may set up that computer to alert you when cookies are being sent, or to reject cookies - in that case you may not be able to use certain features of the Website. (This might sound a bit 'big brother' but all we want to do is ensure that this Website is working properly, or that we are not the only ones in the universe looking at it.)

If you access the Website through third-party search engines or advertisement links, they may also issue cookies to identify your visit. We are not responsible for the collection of those cookies (unless, in the case of RaboDirect, the site that you use to access the Website is www.rabodirect.ie). You should consult the terms and conditions, and privacy policies/privacy statements of any such sites. (We are only responsible for the cookies we bake ourselves.)

Software

For site security purposes and to ensure that this Website remains available to all users, our computer systems may from time to time employ software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage to the Website. Unauthorised attempts to upload information or change information on this Website are strictly prohibited and may be punishable by law. (This will help ensure this Website stays out of trouble.)
