Therefore, we have adopted a Privacy Policy, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, that informs how we gather, maintain and utilise the information that customers provide to us. (This policy applies only to sites maintained by Zoma and not to any external third-party websites maintained by other companies or organisations to which we may occasionally provide links.)

How this information may be used

The information we collect about you will only be used lawfully in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

Providing us with your details allows Zoma to provide you with assistance, process your order, and also to let you know the continuing status of your order.

Your details may be disclosed to external reputable third parties, such as banks and credit processing services, but only for the sole purpose of processing your order. All such third parties treat your personal information as fully confidential, and fully comply with all applicable UK Data Protection and Consumer Legislation. We will not share your information with any parties outside our organisation at any other time (except to the extent required by law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority.) Rest assured, your personal details will not be provided to any outside company for mailing or marketing purposes.

Zoma may occasionally use your details internally within the organisation to allow us to alert you to new products, discounts, special offers/promotions, news and events, to serve website content, or for statistical analysis purposes to improve its quality of service.

If at any point you wish to have your details removed from our customer database, you can do so by simply sending a request to us in writing.

Safeguarding this information

We will maintain the appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of this information. By using the Zoma website, you signify your consent to the Zoma Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by its terms. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use the site.

Security

Zoma uses the industry standard 128 bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for our secure servers. This is to encrypt all data as it is transferred over the Internet. When a customer enters their details via an order form hosted on our secure server, their browser will automatically inform them that encryption is being used.

Furthermore, all data stored on this secure server is encrypted again and protected by a firewall, the specification of which has been recognised by the major banks.

The secure servers are situated on a standalone private network completely isolated from other networks and connections. They have a single resilient connection to the Internet, which is serviced through dual dedicated ICSA compliant firewalls. The servers are further secured through "server lock" protection, with all credit card details encrypted through 3DES encryption.

Zoma customers' card details are kept confidential and encrypted at all times, and none of your orders will be seen by anyone other than yourself, and authorised members of the Zoma team for the sole purpose of assisting you with your order.
