070 Numbers Privacy Policy
Information on how we protect your personal data.
This policy applies to personal information held about individuals. It does not apply to information that we hold about companies and other organisations.
1. Introduction
070Numbers puts great importance on the protection of your privacy. This policy explains how we may collect information about you and then use it in order to satisfy your particular needs. It also outlines some of the security measures that we take in order to protect your privacy and gives certain assurances on things that we will not do.
070Numbers is committed to providing you with a personalised service that meets your needs in a way that safeguards your privacy. When we obtain personal information from you, or when you take a new service from us, you can choose not to receive information from us about other services (to "opt out"). Normally this is done by way of a check box on the screen. You may change your decision at any time by contacting us to inform of the change.
Some of the personal information that we hold about you may be sensitive personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998. 070Numbers will use your sensitive personal data only for the specific purpose for which it was provided by you.

(2) from you when you contact us with an enquiry or in response to a communication from us, in which case this may tell us something about your preferences.
(3) from publicly available sources, such as the electoral register.
4. Use of Personal Information
We will use personal information about you for a number of purposes, including:
(1) to help to identify you when you telephone us to make an enquiry. For example, by asking you for your date of birth or telephone number so that we can avoid disclosing information to a person who is not authorised by you to receive it.
(2) to write to you (including electronic mail) or to telephone you (including text messages) with information about other services or products either from us or from our carefully selected partners who may contact you directly with our consent.
(3) to help us to administer accounts, services and products which we offer.
(4) to help detect fraud or loss; Information we hold about you and your preferences will help us to make sure that we contact you about things likely to be of relevance and interest to you.
In some circumstances, we may do certain credit checks with licensed credit reference agencies when you apply to take a service or product. If this is applicable then it will be stated in our terms and conditions of business.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information
Other companies in the 070Numbers group may use personal information for any of the purposes set out above. This is limited to companies that are related companies to 070Numbers . We do not sell mailing lists to third parties for their marketing purposes. Where we have told you in advance, we may disclose certain information to third parties such as a telecoms network service provider for purposes solely connected with the provision of our service via their networks. Where required or permitted by law, information may be provided to others, such as the Police or the Inland Revenue.

We use strict security measures in order to protect personal information. This includes checking your identity when you telephone us, encrypting data on our websites (and other measures) in order to ensure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.
