Your Privacy
We strongly believe in the importance of keeping your personal information private. We will use our best efforts to ensure that the personal information submitted to us by you is kept private and confidential and is used only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. By entering and using this website and submitting your personal information you are consenting to us processing your information as explained in this Privacy Policy.
2.0 RELEVANT LEGISLATION
Along with our business and internal computer systems, this website is designed to comply with the following national and international legislation with regards to data protection and user privacy:
- UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA)
- EU Data Protection Directive 1995 (DPD)

3.0 PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THIS WEBSITE COLLECTS AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
3.1 Site visitation tracking
Like many websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 6.0 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.
3.2 Contact Us Form on this site
- When you use our contact us form we may collect, store and use the following personal information:
- - Your Name
- - Your Contact information including email address and telephone no.
- - Your location if provided in the message section (city/town/village)
- - Demographic information such as postcodes if provided in the message section
- Please note that the above information may be collected by us via various ways including when you use our contact forms, and/or participate in onsite surveys, or any other feature of this website. Further, information might be collected by using common online collection methods like web browser cookies.
3.2.1 Right To Delete

3.2.2 Why do we collect and process sensitive personal data?
We collect and process Sensitive Personal Data only so far as is necessary and in compliance with all applicable legislation. By using the Website and by sending your details to us, you consent to us collecting and processing Sensitive Personal Data supplied by you and utilising this information to make future contact with you, as part of our services.
3.3 Contact forms and email links
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our website or an email link, none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to / be processed by any of the third party data processors defined in section 6.0. Instead the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
4.0 HOW WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
As detailed in section 3.2 above, if you contact us on this website as a current or possible customer of our services, no personal information will be stored within this website’s database itself. To protect your personal data and to minimise it being identifiable in the event of a breach, we keep the data we store from your personal online submissions to a minimum. Data transfers between the website script and the email clients we use, are over encrypted connections using the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol.
4.1 Disclosure of your information
JME Care Ltd will not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others unless you have given us your permission. Only if you opt to agree to our privacy policies and term, will we make any attempt to store or utilise your information.

9.0 CHANGES AND UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy may change from time to time inline with legislation or industry developments. We will not explicitly inform our clients or website users of these changes. Instead, we recommend that you check this page occasionally for any policy changes. Specific policy changes and updates are mentioned in the change log below.
In order to keep up to date with your precise requirements you may from time to time receive relevant information and reminders from us connected to the services you have requested. This complies with The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations of 2003.
10.0 LINKS TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
This Privacy Policy only addresses the collection, processing, use and disclosure of information by us when you visit our website.
Our website may contain links to other parties’ websites which we do not own or operate. So, once you have used these links to leave our website, you should note that we do not have any control over such other websites and therefore, we cannot be held responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such websites as they are not governed by the Privacy Policy of JME Care Ltd.
11.0 FACEBOOK, & OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS
These services provide social buttons and similar features which we use on our website – such as the “Like” and “Follow” buttons.
To do so we embed code that they provide and we do not control ourselves. To function their buttons generally know if you’re logged in; for example Facebook use this to say “x of your friends like this”. We do not have any access to that information, nor can we control how those networks use it.
Social networks therefore could know that you’re viewing this website, if you use their services (that isn’t to say they do, but their policies may change). As our website is remarkably inoffensive we imagine this is not a concern for most users.
