We have a committed security policy. We implement a number of security measures to ensure the safety of any Information in our possession or control. The Information is contained on a secure server, which is accessible only by a limited number of employees who have limited access rights to such information.
We have security procedures in place to protect our customer database from loss and misuse, and only allow access to it when absolutely necessary, and then under strict guidelines as to what use may be made of the Information contained within it.
5. How Will We Use Your Information?
We collect your Information to record and support your participation in the activities you select.
We may use Information:
- as part of our effort to keep you informed via mail, email, phone or fax about special offers, and other products and services we offer;
- for record keeping purposes;
- to improve the quality of our service;
- for market research;
- to measure and improve activity on the Website; and
- to understand your preferences so that we can improve the products or services we offer.
We may share and pass your Personal Information (including details of your purchasing preferences) with or to our holding companies, subsidiaries or associated companies in which we have an interest including, without limitation, any of our joint venture organisations (together, our “associated companies”).
We may also pass your Information to other carefully selected partner organisations (“partners”) with whom we have a business relationship, such as:
- our sponsors;
- financial services partners; and
- other organisations whose services we need to use to process and deliver your orders, for credit control and debt collection, to maintain our systems or to comply with legal obligations or a court order.
Each of our associated companies and these partners may keep you informed of services, products, events and special offers made available by that organisation. If you express an interest in an offer from one of PRT’s associated companies or partners, that associated company or partner may let us know. In all cases, we will take care to ensure that these organisations only process your Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, your preferences and the law.

We may also create an individual profile for you so that we can inform you of services, products, events or special offers that may be of interest to you. In the event of the sale of the business or the integration of the business with another party, we may disclose your details to advisers or prospective purchasers’ advisers.
We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, to enforce or apply our terms and conditions and other agreements, or to protect our rights or property or those of our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Your Information is password-protected to prevent unauthorised access to it. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.
6. Use of your Information outside the European Union
Some of the organisations (including, without limitation, our associated companies and partners) to which we may disclose your Information are situated outside of the European Union. In order to provide you with the products and services you require, we may need to transfer your Information to these countries some of which do not have laws that protect privacy rights as extensively as in the United Kingdom. If we do transfer your Information to other territories, we will endeavour to ensure that your Information is properly protected.
7. Policy for Children
We realise and understand that many children will visit the Website, or interact with PRT via another route, but encourage all persons under 13 to consult with their parents or legal guardian before submitting any content or information to PRT. Parents or legal guardians should, in particular, supervise children when online and recommend that parental control tools be put in place. Although anyone known to be under the age of 13 may participate in competitions and promotions, notification of a win or prize will be sent directly to the parent or legal guardian identified in the initial registration process. Any publication of a competition winner’s personal details for visitors known to be under 18 will require parental or legal guardian consent during registration.
8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We aim to meet high standards and our policies and procedures are, therefore, constantly under review. From time to time we may change our security and privacy policies. Accordingly we recommend that you check this page periodically, or request a copy of the current Privacy Policy from our Data Protection Officer, in order to keep up to date.
9. Updating and Correcting Information
