Personal
information is private so we treat it with the highest standards of security and
confidentiality.
We never sell or
give any personal information we have about you to any other
company. You can rest
assured that your credit/debit card and personal information are safe with us.
With your
permission, we'll send you
our email newsletters, tell you about our latest products and offers, and keep
you up to date with what's going on at @home.
That's only if you
want us to of course! It's up to you - you're in control of your email
newsletter subscription settings. Just go to ‘Modify profile’ after logging
in.
use of
cookies
Like many
retailers, as well as using cookies to measure the effectiveness of our website,
we also use cookies to help us select the products that are shown to you, both
on our website and within @home adverts shown on
other websites.
These cookies store
information regarding the pages and products you have viewed on the
@home site but do not
store personal information
cookies
what are cookies?
Computer cookies
are small text files that a website transfers to your computer for added
functionality. They are pretty standard these days - almost every website uses
them in one form or another.
We also use cookies
to measure the effectiveness of our website's design, allowing us to make it
more user-friendly and easy to use.
are cookies
safe?
Yes.
Cookies don't
contain personal information such as name, e-mail address, telephone number or
credit card numbers - any information gathered through the use of cookies is
compiled on an entirely anonymous basis.
can I switch cookies
off?
If you'd prefer
not to receive cookies, or want to be notified of when they are placed, you can
set your web browser to do this (refer to your browser's help section to find
out how to 'disable cookies'). Cookies can also be disabled by 'firewall'
software.
Please note that
disabling future cookies or deleting current ones may restrict your access to
certain areas or features of our website. You may also experience problems
setting up an account, logging on, etc.
secure online
shopping
When you place an
order or access your account information, it's done using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
method; your details are encrypted before the information goes
from your computer to ours.
When this is
happening you'll see a little padlock symbol at the
bottom of the browser - this means that your details are totally safe from
prying eyes and that only @home can see them. (Some
browsers don't have this symbol; if the address of the web page starts with
https, this also confirms you're secure). This method is the recognised standard for secure
transactions.
