This website (www.ukbroadbandfinder.com and www.ukbroadbandfinder.co.uk) is run by Valuestream Consulting Limited (“we” or “us”). We value any information you supply us with and we understand concerns about how this might be used.

Please read our privacy policy thoroughly. If you do not agree to this privacy policy do not use this website.

1. Changes to this privacy policy
This website will change as it grows and develops, so it is likely that this privacy policy will also change. You should check the privacy policy before you sign up on our website or before you contact us.

If we already hold personal identifying information about you supplied by you, and we want to use that in ways other than those laid you in this policy or which were not in place when you signed up, we will contact you to ask your permission.

2. Security on this website
We take the minimum of personal identifying information that we require to provide our service. However we cannot guarantee security in transmission so you send information to us at your own risk.

3. Personal identifying information
This covers information you provide us with when you sign up for emails from us, and if you contact us.

3.i. Circumstances when your personal identifying information may be available to third parties

3.i (a) Developers and other professionals Like many small companies, we work with third party website developers and other professionals who may need to see personal identifying information held about you by us to allow them to carry out the work we have asked them to do.

3. i (b) broadband checker feed You can browse this website and view packages and providers without providing us with any information. However to use the broadband checker facility to see which providers and packages are available to you, you need to enter your postcode or your BT phone number. This information is not held by us – we use a feed provided by a third party which matches postcodes and BT phone numbers to providers and packages.

3. i. (c) Other circumstances Apart from this, we will only pass your personal identifying information on to third parties if we have your permission, or where we are obliged or permitted by law to do so.

4. Non-personal identifying information
This includes automatic and anonymous information collected by our website systems.
 
4.i. IP addresses
We may use your IP address (which may be static or dynamic and temporary) to help us profile our site visitors (your IP address is the internet address of your computer). However we do not use your IP address to identify you personally or to link your IP address to any personal identifying information we may hold on you.

4.ii. Computers and browsers
We can also often find out the types of computer or browsers being used – this is standard information provided by many website statistical packages and helps us maintain and develop our website (for example, ensuring that our website can be used by newly popular browsers). Again, none of this information can be linked to any personal identifying information provided by you which we may hold.  

4.iii. Cookies
Cookies are small bits of information, often including an anonymous unique identifier, which sit on your machine’s hard drive and tell us how you use a website or group of websites and where you go on it. Cookies do not hold any personal identifying information about you.

Many sites use them as they can improve your experience on a website considerably. For example, when you go to a site and it remembers who you are without you having to log in again, or when your shopping basket retains items you had browsed for previously, or when a website remembers what type of information you searched for on a previous visit and offers this to you on your next visit.

We are an affiliate website and as part of your experience using our website and visiting provider pages and websites linked to from our website, cookies are likely to be used - these help the affiliate networks which we are registered with track that you have originated on our website.

If you do not wish to accept cookies you can set up your browser to do this. However this may impact on your use of this website.

5. Privacy on websites we link to
We are not responsible for privacy policies or practices or content on websites we link to. You should review their privacy policies, terms of use, disclaimers etc when you visit those websites.

If you do not agree to this privacy policy do not use this website.

You may also want to visit the About Us section for more information on who runs this website, and our Disclaimer which explains who this website is aimed at.
