Notice to EU residents

  • Your rights in connection with personal information

9.2 Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information(commonly known as a “data subject access request“). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information We hold about you and to check that We are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information We hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for Us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask Us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where We are relying on a legitimate interest(or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where We are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask Us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want Us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
  • File a complaint with the data protection authority that supervises our personal data processing activities (such as the UK Information Commissioner’s Office) if you think we gave processed your information in a manner which is unlawful or breaches your rights. If you have such concerns we request that you initially contact us (using the contact details below) so that we can investigate, and hopefully resolve your concerns. Since We are a company with a registered office in the United Kingdom, our processing activities are supervised by the Information Commissioner’s Office (“the ICO”). More information on the ICO’s, including instructions on making a complaint, is available at: https://ico.org.uk/.

  • No fee usually required

9.4 You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

  • What we may need from you

9.5 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

  • Right to withdraw consent

9.6 In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact webmaster@bingbunny.com.

Part 2 – Cookie Policy

  1. OUR 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.

Two types of cookies are used on the Site depending on the cookie owner:

  1. First-party cookies – these are cookies that contain the same domain on which the cookie is placed, i.e. We place an bingbunny.co.uk cookie on bingbunny.co.uk website;
  2. Third-party cookies – there are cookies that contain a domain that is different to the domain on which it is placed, i.e. these are cookies used by Our providers or other parties (such as ad providers) on our domain (e.g. google.com cookies places on bingbunny.co.uk website).

 

These cookies can also be categorised from their purpose of use perspective:

  1. Strictly necessary cookies: these are cookies that enable core functionality of the Site, such as: security, network management, and accessibility. You may disable these cookies by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the Site functions.
  2. Optional cookies:
    • Performance and analytical cookies that help us:
      1. to measure and improve the performance of the Site;
      2. to improve the Site by collecting and reporting information on how you use it;
      3. to provide enhanced functionality and personalization of the Site by helping a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly;
      4. to help us recognise you as a unique visitor (just a number) when you return to the Site and to allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly;
      5. to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use the Site and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot identify you personally in this way;
      6. within research surveys to ensure you are not invited to complete a questionnaire too often or after you have already done so.
    • Targeting/advertisement cookies that are dropped on the Site when you use it by third party marketing and advertising networks to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.

 

Taking into account the lifetime of the cookie, these can be divided into two categories:

    • Session Cookies: which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Site to allow you to carry information across pages of our Site and avoid having to re-enter information. Session cookies retain data for approximately 1 hour.
    • 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).

Most major websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
