Online Payments

All of our online payments are taken through a secure payment gateway and no credit card details are ever stored on our servers. We use encryption and a secure SSL connection to connect to our payment providers Braintree and PayPal.

Privacy Statement

We are committed to protecting your privacy.

In this Privacy Statement, the terms personal data and processing have the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 1998.

In this Privacy Statement, "We", "Us" and "Our" mean Cloud Appreciation Ltd, trading as the Cloud Appreciation Society, UK Company Number 05705647 and our address is PO Box 81, Somerton, Somerset TA11 9AY, United Kingdom.

What Personal Data May We Collect From You?

We will process personal data about you if you join online, update your profile, purchase something, book an event or use online tools. The personal data collected may include but not necessarily limited to your title; name; gender; email address; postal address and post code; date of birth; nationality; interests; telephone number.

We may collect information about the software on your computer (your browser version etc.) and your IP address (your connection with the internet) in order to improve your interaction with the Website and for Our records. This may happen automatically without your being aware of it.

We may use cookies (small text files which We and other website operators store on your computer when you visit our websites) to deliver a better and more personalised interaction. They enable Us to recognise you when you return to the Website, store information about your preferences, and improve the way your searches are processed. They also enable Us to generate statistics about the number of visitors We have and how they use the Website and the internet. You can set your browser to reject Our cookies if you wish (you should consult your browser help section for details).

If you become a member then We will use your personal data in other ways as well (for example, to provide you with membership services).

How Will Your Personal Data Be Used?

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide individuals with the services they have requested through the Website.
  • For research purposes and to improve the services We offer.
  • In order to comply with Our legal obligations.
  • In order to protect Our contractual and other rights. For example, We may pass your details onto a third party should We believe that you have used another person's credit card fraudulently.
  • Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We will not sell personal data.

We may disclose personal data to a third party if We have a legal obligation to do so and We have not voluntarily assumed that obligation.

How Will Your Personal Data Be Stored?

All personal data that you supply Us with is stored on our secured servers. For your protection, any payment details that you provide Us with will be encrypted using SSL technology.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do our best to ensure that your personal data is protected, We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website. Any transmission of your personal data by you is therefore at your own risk.
