WebKart.Net applies the eight data protection principles (set out in the Irish Data Protection Commissioner’s, “Guidelines for contents and use of Privacy Statements for Websites”) to the manner in which it processes data throughout our operations. The principles offer a clear and unambiguous focus of the importance of affording personal information and data relating to clients and customers with the sensitivity, confidentiality and respect it deserves. 

The eight principles are as follows:

1. Obtain and process information fairly.
2. Keep it only for one or more specified, explicit and lawful purposes.
3. Use and disclose it only in ways compatible with these purposes,
4. Keep it safe and secure.
5. Keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date.
6. Ensure that it is adequate, relevant and not excessive.

7. Retain it for no longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes.
8. Give a copy of his/her personal data to that individual, on request

It is critically important that the information referred to above is obtained in a fair way, including;

explanation of  the purpose for which it is processed; the identity of third parties to whom the data may be disclosed; the existence of a right of access to what personal information is stored and a right of access and a right of rectification. To satisfy that criteria, we clearly state the purpose for which the data is necessary and the use made of it; namely helping to process orders, e.g. credit card payments securely and facilitating customer activity on the site so that we may best address their interests and serve their needs. 

We may share information with other reliable and trusted third parties who provide necessary IT, customer support and finance processing services to help us protect, develop and improve our services.  They can only access your information, at our request and with our permission so as to perform tasks on our behalf, in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with WebKart.Net Privacy Policy.

Legal Requirements: We reserved the right and obligation to share your information, where we deem it reasonably necessary to the lawful legal authorities, when requested or required to do so under the law; to protect any person from serious injury; to prevent fraud or abuse of WebKart.Net or its users and to protect WebKart.Net property rights.

Protecting the data you share with us is critically important for us and a responsibility that we take seriously. We make every effort to abide by the Government’s Data Protection Legislation and Guidelines and we ensure that our clients and customers are aware of what information is required in order that we might efficiently and effectively service their requirements when they access and request our services. 

Support and Security

Information is securely stored on our Services for as long as is necessary to support and assist in delivery of your requirements.

The latter process involving deletion of your information from our servers and back-up may result in some delay but will be attended to as expeditiously as possible. We may retain this information if needed to resolve dispute or to comply with legal processes.

To provide you with the most efficient and cost effective services and to maintain the highest standard of support and care for our customers and clients we may store, process and transmit information in the United States and Canada –  for example, our top class and secure Hosting Services. Your local devices may also be used to store information to access our services.
