Anti-Spam / E-mail Policy

Shopandgo does not partake in the sending of any unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam), nor do we have pop-ups anywhere on our website. We only send e-mail to people who have agreed to receive such e-mail. Any opt-in agreement is flagged in our databases with a timestamp. You can also notify us if you want us to stop sending you e-mail. Any e-mails we do send out will have an opt-out link option at the bottom of the e-mail. Please use this link to unsubscribe to any e-mails that we send out from time to time.

We do not sell or provide any e-mail addresses to any third party. Please rest assured if you do get a spam e-mail that we did not provide this information in any way. You agree not to hold us responsible in any way for any spam e-mails you receive.

If for any reason you decide that you never want to receive any information from us, just let us know and we will ensure you do not receive anything ever again.

The information we collect

Non-identifiable data

Simply by using the site you are unknowingly supplying us with crucial data to help us deliver better results to you when you use our site. The information we gather is not used to identify individuals; however we do record your IP address (the address your access provider assigns you with to enable your computer to access the internet) in order to remember your site preferences and to prevent site misuse.

Information you provide us with

Whenever you interact with us either by e-mail, telephone, general mail or by using certain data collection forms on certain pages within our site (like the contact us page), we will store some personal identifiable information about you, such as your name, e-mail address and any other such personal data. These will only be used to reply to you and for any additional uses which you agree to.

Information Obtained Automatically

When you use Shopandgo we automatically detect certain information from you such as browser type and version and operating system or platform. This information is used to ensure our site is compatible with your system.

This site uses “cookies”. A cookie is a small file downloaded to your hard drive.
The vast majority of websites on the internet today will use cookies, so rest assured that we are not doing anything out of the ordinary, however if you prefer you can block cookies by changing the settings on your browser. (Please refer to your browser help for details of how to do this)

Whenever you use this site, cookies will be downloaded to your computer and are overwritten or added to constantly as you use the site and click on different pages and links within the website.

There are two types of cookies used on Shopandgo. The first is a session cookie, this is our main cookie and stores a session key which references the following information:

The last time the session was active
The IP address
A search preference between retailers or products
Retailer and Category clicks

This cookie will automatically expire 1 hour from when you last used this site.

The second type of cookie stored on your computer is affiliate cookies. These cookies have an expiry date in days set by the third party retailers themselves. Shopandgo does not have any control over these cookies or over their expiry times.
These cookies are used to inform the retailer as to which website sent them the traffic.

Links to third party retailer websites

Please make sure you read the privacy policy of any third party site you link to from Shopandgo. Shopandgo has no control or any responsibility or liability for the content of third party retailer privacy policy or terms and conditions information. You agree that Shopandgo has no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage, expenses, costs (including legal fees) or injury you sustain or any special exemplary, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damage of any kind from you using the websites of third party retailers or entering any personal information to our third party retailer sites.

Changing or updating your personal information

Currently we do not have any member services live, but rest assured these services will be coming soon. Once membership services are offered on our site, any registered members will be able to login and modify or delete any personal information under their account. Please be aware that changes may not be immediate and could take up to 24 hours to process. Should your account be suspended or terminated you agree that we can hold certain key information about you to prevent you re-registering on the website.
We may under some extreme circumstances lose some data from our systems in the event of a crash or unexpected event. In this case we will revert to our last good image of the site, this may therefore include some old data that you had already updated, but has been lost. Please accept our apologies should this occur. We will keep this to a minimum by running a daily backup to ensure that any personal information held under your account is at worst only 24 hours old.

Business Acquisitions / Mergers

As the business expands and grows it is feasible to assume that at some point we may wish to merge or even sell the business to another company. In such a case, personal and other user information may be shared with the other party or parties involved. Users will be notified either by e-mail or by means of a prominent website notice of any such change of ownership and given the opportunity to request that their information be completely removed from our databases before transfer.

Security

To protect the security of the data you supply us Shopandgo uses a firewall and utilises password protection on important files and on our databases. The passwords are only given to employees that require the information to perform their responsibilities within the company.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) functionality encrypts information you input before it is transmitted over the internet. Due to the fact that we do not request any highly confidential information like your credit card details from you at any time, we do not currently use SSL functionality. Should we decide to take this sort or any other extremely confidential information from you in the future you can rest assured that we will protect you with SSL.

No transmission of data over the internet is 100% safe and secure, therefore we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send us. You agree that you understand this and bear it in mind whenever contacting us or submitting any information to us from the website.

Limitation of liability

Unless already barred by our terms and conditions you agree that any liability for a breach of this privacy policy document be limited to the value of commission earned by Shopandgo in your purchase of products or services through a listed third party retailer or merchant.
