Privacy Policy

ok50.com is committed to protecting your privacy.

That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to describe how your personal information is processed and used, and we will make every effort to ensure that our activities keep within the spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using ok50.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We undertake to comply with the applicable provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 (“the Act”) and other applicable legislation. OK Lifestyles Limted is the “data controller” for the purposes of the Act, and we can be contacted at Castle Farm, Castle Farm Road, Lytchett Matravers, Poole, Dorset BH16 6BZ if you require copies of the information we hold about you.

By providing the information requested and clicking on the “I agree” button you explicitly consent to our “processing” the data provided within the meaning of the Act.

We will hold the information for such time as is necessary to comply with our obligations under the terms and conditions, following which it will be destroyed. The purposes for which we process the data are described in this Privacy Policy. We may occasionally pass the information to third parties as indicated below.

What Information is ok50.com gathering about its visitors and how is it being used?

Every computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g. earthlink.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 192.164.13.145). When a visitor requests a page from within the ok50 website, our Web Servers automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact, the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:

  • The IP Address of the Site that may have Referred you.
  • Your IP Address
  • The Web Page that you may have linked to us from, if any.
  • The Product Identifier for Version and
  • The Product Identifier for Version and Make of Browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 4.5)
  • The Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh or Windows)
  • Search Words or Terms that are passed from a Search Engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, or Lycos)

There is absolutely nothing special about the information just described, and the practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by virtually every Web Server on the Internet today. The purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One, ok50.com has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate, so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various Browsers and Operating Systems that visit our site.

Additionally, as any business should attest, it is our desire to generate greater amounts of visitor traffic. By analyzing visitation patterns, referring URLs and Search Engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.

What about Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser from our Web Server. A cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that may have been created from other sites. The ok50.com website utilizes cookies as a means of providing personalization features to our visitors. For example, we utilize cookies to remember settings (background music selections, wallpapers preferences, etc.) that you may have made at our website. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser.

Typically, by accessing the browser's help feature you can obtain information on how to prevent your browser from accepting all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our website and other websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

What other information does ok50.com request?

We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing list, or by your request to have someone contact you for additional information. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No Spam" policy that means we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without your consent. In addition, ok50.com will not send you e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you are a member of our Mailing List, you will be contacted with announcements, news, portfolio additions, and new products or services.

You have the option of "Unsubscribing" from our Mailing List at any time, thereby disabling any further such e-mail communication from being sent to you. If you wish to have specific communications with a member of the ok50.com staff, you will be required to provide specific information that will be routed to the appropriate contact within ok50.com.

What information does ok50.com collect when I purchase something?

If you purchase something, such as a T-Shirt, we need to obtain the appropriate information in order to complete the transaction. Depending upon the method of payment that you select and your location, the required information may vary. However, generally speaking we will need:

  • Your Name
  • Billing Address (for Credit Card Orders)
  • Shipping Address
  • E-Mail Address
  • Phone Number
  • Credit Card Number (for Credit Card Orders)
  • Expiration Date (for Credit Card Orders)

We use shopping cart features that safeguard this information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted servers. SSL encodes the information transferred between you and the server, generally rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information.

We may transmit your personal data (including without limit “sensitive data” as defined in the Data Protection Act 1998) to a payment processor such as World Pay Ltd. By accepting this privacy policy you expressly consent to such transmission to or by the payment processor (including export outside the European Economic Area) of your personal data.

ok50.com reserves the right to transfer information in connection with the sale of all or part of ok50.com capital stock or assets to any third party.
