1. What information of yours do we collect?

At Mini Online Shop we aim to be your favourite place to purchase automotive upgrades. To do this, we must on occasion collect information so we can understand what makes you different from other unique users. While you are not required to register to buy from us, we still need to collect some information about you to complete your order. Some products and services may not function properly or may not be accessible unless you register.

Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable.

• Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, Mini Online Shop collects some information each time a visitor comes to the Web site so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor`s online experience. Mini Online Shop collects referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last Web page visited by a user before clicking over to Mini Online Shop), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).

• Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. Mini Online Shop collects personal information in the following ways:

  1. Order Processing
     When you make a purchase on Mini Online Shop we will ask you to input your Name, Address and Postcode. This information is used to dispatch the goods to you. We may also collect your Credit Card Details so as to bill you for your goods. Your Email address is requested for confirmation purposes. None of the above data is stored permanently unless option b (below) is undertaken.

  2. Opening an Account
     When making a purchase you will be asked if you would like to open account, whereby you choose a username and password for easier and faster purchasing at a later date. All your details except credit card details will be stored by Mini Online Shop. This information will never be passed on to another company.

  3. Correspondence
     If you contact the Mini Online Shop technical support, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We do not collect any email addresses of those who communicate with Mini Online Shop via email for commercial use. We use the information provided so that we may respond to the email.

2. How does Mini Online Shop use the information?

Any personally identifiable information you share with Mini Online Shop when making a purchase is maintained and accessible only by Mini Online Shop and the technology providers unless specifically stated otherwise. Mini Online Shop requests information from its users:
a. So that we can process orders and deliver goods
b. Users can enjoy customized experiences, including personalization services & customer specific discounts.

The following are examples of how the Mini Online Shop may use the information it collects:

• Mini Online Shop uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on Mini Online Shop. In some cases, our Products and Services cannot work unless you have volunteered accurate information.
  Information submitted in the ordering process while purchasing a product/products is used to process the order, bill the appropriate person and send the product to the purchaser. Aggregate information regarding trends and popularity of particular products may be recorded. Personal purchase information is not kept for any longer than necessary.

• Mini Online Shop also uses the aggregate data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behaviour of our visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific areas of Mini Online Shop, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. We do not track what pages individual users are browsing, but rather how well each page performs overall. Without such data, we would not know which parts of Mini Online Shop are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.

3. With whom does the Mini Online Shop share the information that is collected?

At present no information is shared or passed on to any other person or company in any way. We do not currently have any plans to share or pass on this information to any other person or company in the future.

Details stored in a users account can be changed at the time of ordering a product. Changes can be made at any other time by emailing info@minifun.co.uk, where proof of ownership of the account can be provided. Accounts may also be deleted in this way, by emailing info@minifun.co.uk.

5. What is the opt-out policy for the Mini Online Shop?

You can opt out of sharing your personally identifiable information with any third-party service or content providers on Mini Online Shop by choosing not to use such areas.

If you have a question about the Mini Online Shop opt-out process that is not answered here, please send an email to info@minifun.co.uk.

6. What types of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?

Mini Online Shop has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control. Mini Online Shop uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Any particularly sensitive information, such as a credit card number is 128 bit encrypted prior to transmission (payment options include PayPal who provide their own high level of encryption).

While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
You are ultimately responsible for the security of your Mini Online Shop username and password. Please take care when using and storing them. Mini Online Shop recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
