Information we receive from other sources. We may receive information about you if you use
any of the other services we provide. We are also working closely with third parties
(including, for example, business partners, sub-contractors, advertising networks, analytics
providers, and search information providers) and may receive information about you from

Cookies. Our site uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to
provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to
improve our site. For detailed information about the cookies we use and the purposes for
which we use them, please read our Cookie Policy.
We will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:
To provide our products, services arising from any engagements entered into between you
and us, activities or online content and to deal with your requests and enquiries.
For “service administration purposes”, which means that we may contact you for reasons
related to the service, activity or online content you have signed up for, as set out in section 5
below.
To contact you about a submission you have made, including any content you provide.
To provide you with information about our services, activities or online content that you
request from us and to provide you with information about other services we offer that are
similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about.
To provide you, or permit selected third parties to provide you, with information about
products or services we feel may interest you. If you are an existing client, we will only
contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about products and
services similar to those which were the subject of a previous instruction or engagement or
negotiations of such to you. If you are not an existing client, and where we permit selected
third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you
have consented to this.
To use IP addresses to identify the location of users, to block disruptive use, to establish the
number of visits and generally to administer our site including troubleshooting, data analysis,
testing and research.
To analyse and improve the services offered on our site and to notify you of changes.
To provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience. We may also use and
disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and
strategic development purposes.
To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and
for your computer.
Where we propose using your personal information for any other uses, we will ensure that
we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your
consent for the use of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above.
We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted
by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in
this section.
We may share your personal information with other members of our group, which means our
subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of
the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, sometimes we share your information with selected third parties as follows:
We may disclose your personal information to third parties:
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to our
site or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour with regards to any of our services, we
may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.
Where A&D Corporation Ltd reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any
applicable laws (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), we may use
your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school,
email/internet provider, or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside
the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the
EEA who work for us, or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other
things, the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this
transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that
your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy, though we must state that,
unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet can never be guaranteed as
being completely secure. Therefore, although we will always do our best to protect your
personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any
transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict
procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you
provide any personal information to us. Users of this nature and without this consent are not
allowed to provide us with personal information.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you have the right to request a copy of the personal
information we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. We charge £20 for
information requests and require you to prove your identity with two pieces of approved
identification. We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal
information about you on our files.
