Data Protection

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy notice is for this website and is served by AIM-Watch Ltd and governs the privacy of those who use AIM-Watch.com. The purpose of this policy is to explain to you how we control, process, handle and protect your personal information while browsing or using this website, including your rights under current laws and regulations. If you do not agree to the following policy you may wish to cease viewing / using this website.

What data we need:

The personal data we collect from you includes:

  • questions, queries or feedback you leave, including your email address if you contact AIM-Watch.com
  • information on how you use the site

Why we need it:

We use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use AIM-Watch.com. We do this to help make sure the site is meeting the needs of its users and to help us make improvements.

Google Analytics stores information about:

  • the pages you visit
  • how long you spend on each page
  • how you got to the site
  • what you click on while you’re visiting the site

Beyond this, we do not collect or store your personal information (for example, your name or address, or other personally identifiable information), so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

What we do with your data:

We collect data in order to:

  • improve the site by monitoring how you use it
  • gather feedback to improve our services
  • respond to any feedback you send us, if you’ve asked us to
  • provide you with more pertinent information

We will not:

  • sell or rent your data to third parties

We will share your data if we are required to do so by law – for example, by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime.

How long we keep your data:

We will only retain your personal data for as long as:

  • it is needed for the purposes set out in this document
  • the law requires us to

In general, this means that your session activity is held within Google Analytics for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years.

Once correspondence has been dealt with, emails and email addresses will be removed from our inbox. This can mean a varying time in being held, but in general means they should be held for no longer than 2 years.

Children’s privacy protection:

Our services and information are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, anyone under the age of 16, nor do we intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under this age.

Where your data is processed and stored:

Currently we have no reason to transfer personal data. As such, it remains within the platforms it is collected within – namely, Google Analytics.

We will continue to design, build and run our systems to make sure that your data is as safe as possible at any stage, both while it is processed and when it is stored.

How we protect your data and keep it secure:

We are committed to doing all that we can to keep your data secure. We have set up systems and processes to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of your data – for example, we protect your data by regularly changing passwords to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, as well as protecting data against accidental loss.

We also only work with trusted third partners who each have high standards of user privacy and security. We will continue to conduct privacy impact assessments in accordance with the law.

Under the GDPR, your rights are as follows. You can read more about your rights in details here;

  • the right to be informed;
  • the right of access;
  • the right to rectification;
  • the right to erasure;
  • the right to restrict processing;

You also have the right to complain to the ICO [www.ico.org.uk] if you feel there is a problem with the way we are handling your data.

Links to other websites:

AIM-Watch.com contains links to other websites. This privacy policy only applies to AIM-Watch.com, and doesn’t cover other services, transactions and sites that we link to.

If you go to another website from this one, please read the privacy policy on that website to find out what it does with your information.

Sponsored links, affiliate tracking & commissions:

Our website may contain adverts, sponsored and affiliate links on some pages.  However, we only use trusted advertising partners who each have high standards of user privacy and security. Nevertheless, we do not control the actual adverts seen / displayed by our advertising partners. Our ad partners may also collect data and use cookies for ad personalisation and measurement. Where ad preferences are requested as ‘non-personalised’, cookies may still be used for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting and to combat fraud and abuse.

Clickable sponsored or affiliate links may be displayed as a website URL or as a titled text link.

Clicking on any adverts, sponsored or affiliate links may track your actions by using a cookie saved to your device. Your actions are usually recorded as a referral from our website by this cookie. In some cases we earn a small commission from the advertiser or advertising partner, at no cost to you, whether you make a purchase on their website or not.

We use advertising partners in these ways to help generate an income from the website, which allows us to continue our work and provide you with the best overall experience and valued information.

If you have any concerns about this we suggest you do not click on any adverts, sponsored or affiliate links found throughout the website.

Changes to this policy:

We may change this privacy policy. In that case, the ‘last updated’ date at the bottom of this page will also change. Any changes to this privacy policy will apply to you and your data immediately.

If these changes affect how your personal data is processed, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.

Contact us or make a complaint:

Please email us at [email protected] if you:

  • have any questions about anything in this document
  • think that your personal data has been misused or mishandled

Your email will be dealt with with the upmost urgency.
