website, and how we use and protect it. This Statement also

2. Personal data and its uses
(a) What we collect and why
When referring to "personal data", we mean information we collect
from you, from which you may be personally identified. Typically,
this may include your name, address, telephone number (including
mobile number), credit card information, screen name, email
address, age, sex and family status, but may also include other
information such as shopping habits and preferences and lifestyle
details such as hobbies and interests. Please be assured that we
will not collect any personal data from your visits to our site
unless you provide this information voluntarily.
When you supply personal data to us through this website, it will
be clear what we plan to use the data for and we will seek your
consent to such use. We will then use it only for such purposes.
Typical purposes are as follows:
(i) Answering your queries
Where you send us personal data in the context of asking us a
question or query (for example, about the company, or its products
or services or their quality or availability), we shall use the
data you provide in order to respond to your question. In some
cases, it may be necessary to share your details with other members
of the Unilever Group, or with other third party Data
Processors.
(ii) Entering a promotion
We may use personal data submitted in an entry form for a promotion
for the purpose of administering the promotion in accordance with
its stated rules. Such rules may require the publication of
abbreviated winners' identity details, and may require winners to
participate in future publicity. The promotion may be administered
by third party agencies on our behalf, who may have access to the
data you submit (see Data Processors).
(iii) Fulfilling a contract/order
We may use personal data you submit to us when ordering goods or
services from us for the purpose of fulfilling that order, and it
may be necessary for us to share such data with third parties such
as the card payment services provider or carrier of goods.
(iv) Future direct marketing
Where you elect to receive such material, we will from time to time
send you information and/or offers about our goods and/or services
which we believe may be of interest to you. If you agree, we may
also share your data with or pass it to other companies in the
Unilever Group and other carefully selected companies who may wish
to send you information and/or offers about their goods/services,
as stated at the time we collect your data. At any time, however,
you may unsubscribe from ("opt out" of) such future contact.
(b) Processing outside the EEA
This website is hosted in the United States. The United States
currently has no federal law protecting personal data, but the
hosting organisation is contractually bound to implement measures
to help protect your personal data and not to process such data
except in accordance with our instructions. Any future hosting
organisation used in relation to this site will be similarly
bound.
3. Data Processors
At times we may retain third parties to process or analyse data we
collect on our web sites, including your personal data. For
example, the website may be maintained or hosted by a specialist IT
services agency, and any promotions may be administered by a sales
promotion agency. In addition, if you order a product or service
from us, we may share personal data with suppliers and other third
parties to allow payment and delivery of such product or service.
These suppliers and other third parties are contractually obliged
not to use your personal data in any way other than that which we
have specified.
4. Security
We take reasonable precautions to keep your personal data secure,
and require third party Data Processors to do likewise. All
personally identifiable information is subject to restricted access
to prevent unauthorised access, modification or misuse. Please
note, however, that we may release your personal data if required
to do so by law, or by search warrant, subpoena or court
order.
5. Cookies etc
(a) Use of cookies
A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website
transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard
disk so that the website can remember who you are.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which
the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value,
usually a randomly generated unique number.
When you visit our website we send you a cookie. Cookies may be
used in the following ways:
To help us recognise you as a unique visitor (just a number) when
you return to our website and to allow us to tailor content or
advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid
showing you the same adverts repeatedly. To compile anonymous,
aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our
site and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot
identify you personally in this way.
Two types of cookies may be used on this website; "session
cookies", which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie
file of your browser until you leave the site, and "persistent
cookies", which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much
longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific
cookie).
(b) Use of web beacons
Some of our website pages may contain electronic images known as
web beacons (sometimes known as clear gifs) that allow us to count
users who have visited these pages. Web beacons collect only
limited information which including a cookie number, time and date
of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web
beacon resides. We may also carry web beacons placed by third party
advertisers. These web beacons do not carry any personally
identifiable information and are only used to track the
effectiveness of a particular campaign. Because web beacons are the
same as any other content request included in the recipe for a web
page, you cannot opt out or refuse them. However, where they are
used in conjunction with cookies they can be rendered ineffective
by either opting out of cookies or by changing the cookie setting
on your browser.
(c) Third party advertising
We may use a third party to serve advertisements on our website.
Cookies may be associated with these advertisements to enable the
advertiser to track the number of anonymous users responding to the
campaign. We do not have access to or control of cookies placed by
third parties.
(d) Disabling/enabling cookies
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the
settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all
the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled.
There are a number of ways to manage cookies. If you use different
computers in different locations you will need to ensure that each
browser is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences. Some modern
browsers have a feature that will analyse website privacy policies
and allow a user to control their privacy needs. These are known as
"P3P" features (Privacy Preferences Platform). You can easily
delete any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of
your browser. For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows
Explorer:
Open 'Windows Explorer' Click on the 'Search' button on the tool
bar Type "cookie" into the search box for 'Folders and Files'
Select 'My Computer' in the 'Look In' box Click 'Search Now' Double
click on the folders that are found 'Select' any cookie file Hit
the 'Delete' button on your keyboard

select "cookies" in the "Help" function for information on where to
find your cookie folder.
