How We Store Your Information

Melt-Box uses generally accepted security measures and safeguards to keep the data it collects secure. We require that the third parties we work with do the same.

These measures and safeguards include:

  • Limiting access to the data to those persons who need it to complete their work for Melt-Box
  • Using a fire-wall protected environment
  • Storing personal information in secure operating environments

Your information is retained as long as necessary or relevant for the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We also keep information as otherwise required by law.

Melt-Box cannot and does not guarantee and does not accept liability for unintentional disclosure.

Where We Store Your Information

The information we maintain may be stored both within and outside of the United Kingdom. As part of the services and products we offer and the third-party services we use (e.g., payment processors), the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside these areas.

If we transfer your information outside of these areas, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that any personal data relating to you will continue to be adequately protected. By using our sites and services, you consent to such transfer(s) as necessary.

Privacy Policies of Other Websites

We may include links to third parties from our website or services. Melt-Box isn’t responsible for these companies and including a link to them doesn’t mean that Melt-Box endorses them. Our privacy policy applies only to our website, so if you click on a link to another website, you should read their privacy policy.

Your use of Melt-Box’s sites and services may also be subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of other services that Melt-Box doesn’t control. This includes mobile application stores, mobile software platforms, online social media sites, and payment processors.

How to Update or Remove Your Information

Melt-Box keeps your content for as long as necessary to provide its services. If you want to opt out of services, or review or delete you or your child’s information, please contact us at info@melt-box.co.uk.

Legal Disclosure

As you can see, we collect minimal personal data from parents and grownups who wish to provide it, and some non-personal data for internal use only or in conjunction with third parties to help us operate, analyse, and improve our sites and services. In addition, we may disclose your personal or non-personal information to additional parties if we believe we are required to by law, by a judicial proceeding, to protect Melt-Box’s rights and properties, or to investigate fraud, intellectual property infringement, and any other conduct that might be illegal or expose Melt-Box or a user of its services to legal liability.

In addition, Melt-Box may disclose your information in the event of a change or proposed change in the ownership of the company, for example, a sale, a merger, or a bankruptcy.

Cookies

We don’t use cookies on visitors. We use Plausible to carry out our website measurement completely anonymously.

When you interact with Melt-Box as a user, we (and these third parties) will issue cookies unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse them. These may be ‘session’ cookies, meaning they delete themselves when you leave Melt-Box, or ‘persistent’ cookies which do not delete themselves and help us recognise you when you return so we can provide a tailored service.

How can I block cookies?

You can block cookies by activating a setting on your browser allowing you to refuse the setting of cookies. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. If you use your browser settings to disable, reject, or block cookies (including essential cookies), certain parts of our website will not function fully. In some cases, our website may not be accessible at all. Please note that where third parties use cookies we have no control over how those third parties use those cookies
