PRIVACY POLICY                

At Abracadabra we are dedicated to safeguarding and preserving your privacy when visiting our site or communicating electronically with us.

This Privacy Policy, together with our terms of use, explains what happens to any personal data that you provide to us, or that we collect from you when you are on this site.
We reserve the right to update this Policy from time to time so please do return and review this Policy regularly.

OUR WEBSITE collects two types of personally identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information about traffic patterns on OUR WEBSITE(S) on a daily basis).

Personal Data

Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to OUR WEBSITE, for example in using the “contact us” page or in answering surveys.  Should you request any specific information regarding our service, we may also ask you to disclose certain details pertaining to yours and/or your company’s identity.

We consider the following to be examples of personally-identifying information: they include but are not limited to your first and last name, email address, home address, phone number, work number, work address and certain other information to the extent they are linked with your personally-identifying information.

The information we learn from users helps us continually customize and improve your experience of our service and may also be used for marketing and market research purposes or as a means of contacting you in the event you have won a competition and/or a prize, to send our greetings on a special occasion (such as your Birthday or at Christmas) and to keep you updated regarding any developments to our service, such as new content or modifications to how the service is made available to you.


Aggregated Data  

In operating our website we may collect and process the following data about you:
Details of your visits to our website and the resources that you access, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data.

For example, OUR WEBSITE collects IP addresses. An IP address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're using the internet. Web servers, the computer(s) on which the website(s) you’re accessing are stored, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. 

When you request a page from OUR WEBSITE neither your IP address or any other “aggregated data” we may collect can or will, by default, be attributable to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.
OUR WEBSITE collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on OUR WEBSITE.


Use of Cookies

Similarly to the above, we may gather information regarding your use of our website by using a cookie file.  Where used, these cookies are downloaded to your computer’s hard drive automatically, usually to a “temporary directory” designated by your chosen browser software.
They help us to measure website activity and the service that we provide you more efficient such as, where applicable, by allowing the visitor to access member-only sections of the site without having to re-login.

All computers have the ability to decline cookies.  This can be done by altering a setting on your browser. Please note that should you choose to decline cookies, you may be unable to access particular parts of our website.

Our advertisers may also use cookies, over which we have no control.  Such cookies (if used) would be downloaded once you click on advertisements on our website.
Please be advised that we do not reveal any personally-identifying information information to our advertisers but we may, on occasion, provide them with aggregate statistical information about our visitors. 

Abracadabra Policies for Children

We encourage parents and guardians to spend time on-line with their children and to participate in the interactive activities offered on this website.  
As we cannot determine the personal identity of any user who accesses our site, we cannot and do not accept any responsibility for a child’s unauthorized use of or any of its content or services.

If you want to contact us directly and are a child (a person who is not of legal age to give consent to the collection and processing of their data and/or who is not responsible for paying the bill for your internet and/or telephone service(s)), you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to do so. Confirm you have permission and provide an email address and telephone number.

For the purpose of the Data Protection Act 1998 our data controller is Sound Start Ltd.

• If this was clearly stated at the time of collection or registration and, where required, if you have given permission for this;
  
  
• If we employ another organisation to perform tasks on our behalf – such as delivering goods to you. In this case, the organisations may only use your information to fulfil this specific task.
  
  
• If we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary for legal proceedings. We may also disclose member information when we believe in good faith that applicable law or regulation requires it.
  
  
• If we use third party processors to administer and process for the purposes notified in the Privacy Policy, e.g. hosting activities. We may also share details with third parties (such as auditors or legal advisors) to obtain advice. Any such processing will be governed by an agreement in the form required by law, preserving any statutory data protection rights.
