We are strongly committed to your right to privacy. Information is not collected from "visitors" to Check My Endowment (the website) before registration or without their consent. All information that is provided by "registered users" on the website will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned or otherwise disclosed to any other firm or individual. All information you provide will be held with the utmost care and will not be used in ways that you have not consented to. Our commitment is to create a safe and enjoyable experience for visitors and users to our website. A more detailed explanation about how we safeguard and use your personal information is described below.

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us.

How do we collect information about you?

By registering to use Check My Endowment, the user has to input personal information in order to use the services. All personal information is only obtained by the user inputting information, which is then stored on a secure server. No personal information will be obtained without prior permission from the registered user.

Check My Endowment may also collect information through the use of cookies for the purpose of improving the website - although, currently, Check My Endowment does not use cookies (see "Use of cookies" for more information).

How will we use the information we collect about you?

Your information is strictly confidential.

The information gathered (as explained in "How do we collect information about you?") will only be used for the purpose of providing the service on this website.

It may be appropriate to contact registered users directly with useful and relevant information about Check My Endowment by email, post or telephone. Registered users have to consent to such contact when they register - however, these preferences can be changed at any time after registration.

Will we share your information with anyone else?

Information gathered will only be for the use and management of this website. Information will not be passed to any business or individual not involved with the management of the website.

The management of this website is all done within the United Kingdom (UK), therefore, the website is bound to UK legislation and regulations.

Check My Endowment may need to pass on your information to people who provide a service to us (although we only do this on the understanding that they keep your information confidential) and anyone to whom we may transfer our rights and duties. We may also disclose your information if we have a duty to do so or if the law requires us to.

How long will we keep your personal information on file?

Check My Endowment will not keep your information for longer than is necessary and will take steps to ensure that it is kept up to date by contacting the registered user.

Check My Endowment reserves the right to notify you if the service will be terminated, and a sufficient notice period will be given. Upon termination all personal details will be deleted from our system. Check My Endowment reserves the right to notify you to ask whether you need your account due to a long period of non use. Again, upon any account closures all personal details will be deleted from our system.

You have a right under the Data Protection Act 1998 to ask what information we hold about you. You can do this by using the contact details below if you require a printout of your details (there is a charge of £10 for this service). However, the only information that we hold is the information you have entered and saved on Check My Endowment. You are able to see all this information once you log in.

Security

Check My Endowment provides an encrypted and secure connection for all webpages that require registered users to provide personal and financial information. An encrypted connection provides a high level of security that would be naturally expected for the type of information Check My Endowment uses.

Please remember that internet communications are not secure unless the data being sent is encrypted. We cannot accept any responsibility for unauthorised access by a third party or for the corruption of data sent to us by non secure means. We recommend that all enquiries are made through our secure website and not by email.

The payment facility on Check My Endowment is provided directly by Barclaycard Merchant Services. The actual payment process (your card details, etc.) will take place using their secure payment servers and will not be seen by us. They ensure all payment information is held with the very high levels of security you would expect from a major financial services company.

Check My Endowment does provide links / hyperlinks to other websites. Check My Endowment is not responsible for the data policies or for the content of any other website. It is recommended that you appraise yourself of the privacy policy and procedures applicable to such other websites and of persons operating and controlling such other websites.

Use of cookies

Check My Endowment uses session identifiers to enable the website to indentify registered users once they have registered and logged in. The session identifiers also allow registered users to access their details and information at any time.

Check My Endowment does not currently use cookies**. Any development of cookies would be for the benefit of registered users, and registered users will be informed if cookies are to be used for any part of this website.
