Security of Communications
Please be aware that communications over the Internet, such as e-mails and webmail, are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered – this is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet. Rockfords Commercial cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control.

Co-Branded Micro Sites and Third-Party Sites
Some web pages and Micro Websites included within Rockfords Commercial websites may be co-branded with third party names, logos, or properties. These Micro Websites are operated or maintained by or on behalf of Rockfords Commercial. While such third parties are sponsors of these web pages or Micro Websites, the third parties do not share in any personally identifiable information collected within those web pages or Micro Websites unless otherwise stated.

This policy does not apply to third party sites that you may access via our Portals. You should therefore ensure that you are familiar with the applicable third-party privacy policy before entering any personal information on a third-party site.

This policy does not apply to third party sites operated by those promoting Rockfords Commercial. Whilst Rockfords Commercial provides guidance to 3rd Parties and Vendors in respect of their use and protection of personal data, Rockfords Commercial requires such third-party sites to maintain a privacy policy. You should, therefore, review relevant policies to learn about how your personal data will be treated.

Non-EEA Use of Information

Countries outside the European Economic Area do not always have strong data protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties in accordance with this policy. This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance:

    • The country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission;
    • The recipient company might have signed up to a contract obliging them to protect your information; or;
    • The recipient is located in the US and is a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme.

In other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your information outside the EEA. In all cases, however, we will ensure that any transfer of your information is compliant with data protection law.

You can obtain more details of the protection given to your information when it is transferred outside the EEA (including a sample copy of the contract used with some recipients of your information) by contacting us.
