Flextel Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

Flextel Ltd is committed to protecting your privacy and will only use the information that we collect from you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998). Flextel also operates an Ofcom-approved Code of Practice.

1. Information we collect and how we use it

When you purchase any of our products or services we need to know your name, postal address, email address and telephone number. This may used for credit checking, as set out below and also for anti-fraud investigations with the appropriate regulatory authorities, as set out in our Terms and Conditions.

We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our products and services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

2. Your Consent

By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.

Despite the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, the information you provide is kept securely only within our servers that are operated within the United Kingdom.

3. Email Notifications

You may unsubscribe from email notifications at anytime by replying to a "Service Update" email with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line without removing the original email thread. You should note that such an action will lead to termination of your service as set out in our Terms and Conditions.

This is because email is our core channel for all notices and any billing and charging information. It is used to keep you updated with the progress of your order or additional order. Voicemail, faxmail, call notification and recording is also delivered via this channel and the service cannot operate correctly without a valid email address.

We also need to provide you with essential information about our service upgrades and related products. We never intentionally send out marketing emails with respect to our products and services.

4. Cookies and Website Security

A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive by your web browser.

We use cookies in an ethical manner in order to make your experience better and help Flextel to improve its service. Except for site performance measurement purposes, using Google Analytics, we do not pass your usage data to third parties. Flextel does not use cookies to target advertising or otherwise track your activities.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but usually you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. If you choose not to receive cookies, you may still use most of the features of our web site, including purchasing items. However, you may find that certain handy features such as automatic login and saving account preferences do not work.

Your personal data security is encrypted by our website utilising Secure Server Technology (SSL) to protect all personal and transactional information to the highest commercial standards.

We do not store your credit and debit card details.

Please be aware that despite our strong server security, communications over the Internet, such as emails/webmails, are not secure unless they have been encrypted e.g. any ordinary email communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered - this is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet. Flextel cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.

5. Credit Checking

The personal information that you provide when you apply for the Flextel service may be used to carry out a credit check with licenced credit reference agencies, and to verify your identity. This is to protect you from identity theft and Flextel from fraudulent credit applications.

Information held about you by the credit reference agencies may already be linked to or associated with records relating to one or more of your partners where you have associated or joint financial arrangements.

When you apply for certain services, Flextel may assess your application with reference to any such linked or “associated” records. You may only decline a linked or associated search, but only if you declare that such a financial link does not have any adverse effect on your application. We will check the validity of your declaration with the credit reference agencies and if we discover any associated records, which would affect the accuracy of this declaration we may decide not to proceed with the application on this basis. If you wish to proceed on that basis please contact our Credit Assessment department who will carry out a manual review instead.

We will use credit scoring and/or automated decision making systems when assessing your application. If you are turned down for service, please contact our Data Protection Manager with information about the date and time of your application and any other information that you think may assist your application to be reviewed.

During the lifetime of service agreement with us, we may disclose details account and billing information to the credit reference agencies such as change of address, the payments you made, account balances, any payment default, dispute, queries and debts. This information will be retained by the credit reference agencies, and may be used by us and other organisations to help make decisions about other credit applications made by you or other members of your household with whom you are linked financially.

We will also share your details with fraud and theft prevention agencies to protect you and us from fraud and theft. Information supplied to these fraud prevention agencies may result in a warning marker being placed against the address or addresses used in any applications and this will be accessible to other members of those fraud prevention agencies. A warning marker means that Flextel and other members of these fraud prevention agencies should take extra precautions to ensure that personal and address information is genuine – this helps to protect an address from any further misuse.

Information held by fraud prevention agencies may also be shared with other organisations to help them make decisions on motor, household, credit, life and other insurance proposals and insurance claims, for you and members of your household.

Any information we hold about your account will also be used for debt tracing and claims assessments. In the event that you do not repay in full and on time, we may tell credit reference agencies who will record the outstanding debt.

If you do not become a customer of Flextel Limited we will continue to hold information about you for customer enquiries, complying with any legal obligation and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

If your application is declined following a credit check and because of information held by the below credit reference agencies used from time time by Flextel Limited, you can request a copy of your credit reference file by writing to:

Experian Limited
Consumer Help Service,
PO Box 8000,
Nottingham
NG1 5GX.
Tel: 0870 416212

• www.experian.co.uk

Equifax PLC
Credit File Advice Centre
PO Box 1140
Bradford
BD1 5US.
Tel: 08705-143-700

• www.econsumer.equifax.co.uk

Please note that these credit reference agencies will charge a fee to provide you with a copy of your credit reference record. The fee will depend on the level of detail that you request. More information is given on the websites referred to above.

If you have any enquiries about Flextel Limited’s data protection or privacy practices, you should put your enquiry in writing to the Data Protection Manager at the address below.

12.2 Termination by You

1. If you terminate this Agreement for any reason you must pay all outstanding Charges on your Account including outstanding Service Charges for any Flextel Number still within its Minimum Term.
2. If there are no outstanding charges and you want to terminate this Agreement or any individual Flextel Numbers under it, you may do so at any time, without charge by using the "Disconnect Number" facility made available on the Website, at which point the Flextel Number will be returned to us for reallocation to another customer after the Quarantine Period.
3. If you wish to terminate the Agreement, but retain the Flextel Number, using the industry standard Number Portability facility then, within the Minimum Term we will make a charge, by way of compensation, for ending the service early. This charge will be calculated, for each of the numbers you wish to retain, by multiplying the months (or part months) remaining of the Minimum Term by £10. After the Minimum Term has been reached, you may terminate the Agreement at any time and retain your Flextel Number, by giving us written notice and paying any industry standard porting fees applicable at that time. Your Flextel Number will be disconnected from your Account and marked as 'Ported' within the Network.
