Privacy policy

Premier Employer Solutions Limited is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

1. The information we collect and how we use it

When you register for our service we need to know your first name and last name, your e-mail address, your company name and address, and your chosen username and password. We also prefer to know your job title, your phone number, business sector and number of employees, which will provide us with a clearer understanding of your company and its needs. These items are optional.

We gather this information to allow us to alert you to certain changes in legislation, updates to the website and send you our regular news alerts. The relevant information is then used by us, our agents and sub-contractors to communicate with you on any matter relating to the provision of the service in general.

We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

We may also wish to provide you with information about special features of our website or any other service or products we think may be of interest to you. If you would rather not receive this information, you will have the opportunity on our website at the time of registration to make this clear, and subsequently if you change your mind you can send an email with such a request to support@myhrguide.co.uk.

We may also provide your information to PES Associates and third parties whose products or services we believe may be of interest to you. If you do not wish us to disclose your information in this way, you will have the opportunity as part of the registration process to make this clear, and subsequently if you change your mind you can send an email with such a request to support@myhrguide.co.uk

2. Our use of cookies and other information gathering technologies

A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.

When you visit our website we send you a cookie. Cookies may be used in the following ways:

• To help us recognise you, so that you do not have to re-key your registration details.
• To help us recognise you as a unique visitor (just a number) when you return to our website and to allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly.
• To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot identify you personally in this way.

Two types of cookies may be used on this website: (1) session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site; and (2) persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).

Use of web beacons
Some of our web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes known as clear gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited these pages. Web beacons collect only limited information which includes a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. We may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers. These beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to track the effectiveness of a particular campaign.

Third party advertising
We may use a third party to serve advertisements on our site. Cookies may be associated with these advertisements to enable the advertiser to track the number of anonymous users responding to the campaign. We do not have access to or control of cookies placed by third parties.

Disabling / enabling cookies
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled. In order to block or delete cookies, select the Contents & Index tab under the Help menu of your internet browser and type in delete cookies or block cookies to find a step by step process of how to undertake such actions.

3. How we protect your information

The internet is not a secure medium. However we have put in place various security procedures to protect your information.

4. Sale of business

If this business is sold or integrated with another business your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchasers and their advisers and will be passed on to the new owners of the business. You will be informed of any change in ownership in our business.

5. Updating your details

If any of the information that you have provided to us changes, for example if you change your e-mail address, name or other details, please let us know the correct details by sending an e-mail to support@myhrguide.co.uk or by sending a letter to the Customer Service Department at Premier Employer Solutions Limited, Parkway House, Hambrook Lane, Stoke Gifford, Bristol BS34 8QB.

6. Your consent

By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. We will also e-mail you should we make any changes to the way in which we use your information so that you may consent to our use of your information in that way. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.

Owing to the global nature of the internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.
