Cookies
A cookie is a small file which is placed on the user's hard drive during an EuropeanVoice.com visit. This file allows the user to move quickly and easily around our site. It is used to identify returning users and to identify subscribers and registrants (a registrant - and subscriber - will have the cookie linked to their e-mail address as a way of identifying them). This means that if you are a registrant or subscriber, you will not have to login each time you visit. We also use a cookie to track a user's sessions. We use this information to find out what site features are most popular so that we can develop EuropeanVoice.com in the light of our analysis of people's usage. We may also use cookies and the information we collect to show you relevant content and advertising. You can delete cookies from your hard drive at any time. Bear in mind, though, that if you delete these cookies, any settings such as your stored username and password will have to be reset when you log in again.

Security Policy or Security Guarantee
European Voice aims to maintain appropriate measures to ensure that users’ personal details are not misused, accidentally destroyed, lost or altered within the European Voice server environment. All personal data is encrypted for transmission over the Internet to our server(s).

Occasions will arise when customer information is passed outside European Voice to other data processors e.g. fulfilment bureaux and database consultants but these will only be authorised to act upon instruction from European Voice in order to perform the services required.


Transfer of Personal Data Overseas


The Internet is a global environment. Using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis, both within and outside the European Economic Area.
