This data protection and security
notice describes how Mammoth Holdings Limited (later referred to as "us", "we"

connection with the Mammoth site and service.
It is our duty to handle
your personal details with great care. We will neither sell nor trade them nor
encroach in any other manner on your personal rights. Please read our general
terms and conditions carefully.
Anyone can visit the Mammoth Hire
website without imparting his or her personal details to us. You do not tell us
your personal details until you decide to actively make an enquiry.
As
part of our business we collect and process your details. This may include any
information you provide by filling in forms on our site, details in
communication between us, details of the transactions you carry out through our
site and the fulfilment of your hires. In particular, when products are placed
on the rental site, relevant personal and company details have to be accessible
to both Hire Station and Mammoth in order for them to establish contact and
conclude legally binding agreements. The following details are passed on to the
other party: address, email, surname, first name, telephone number and if
available fax number and company name.
Our site may, from time to time,
contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and

responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies
before you submit any personal data to these websites.
1. Using cookies
Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use our service.
The
provision of certain information and some functions is, in part, only possible
by collecting and processing data that we receive either directly from you or
through the computer that you are using.
We use "cookies". They enable us
to make our service user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small
packets of data that are put onto your computer. We do not store any personal
details in the cookies, only information that helps us to optimise our site.
Certain functions are only available if they accept function-related
cookies. Every time you visit Mammoth-Hire.co.uk you receive a "session- cookie"
from us; this will be automatically deleted from your hard drive when it has
fulfilled its purpose. Most browsers offer the option of refusing to accept
cookies. This can be enabled directly on your computer. It can however, make
using the website more difficult.
2. Data circulation
Mammoth is
strongly committed to honouring the trust that our customers put in us. We treat
all details that you provide us with the greatest care and confidentiality.
Mammoth will only pass on your details for the necessary contracting,
accounting and payment processes and to enable the communication required for
transactions to take place through our website.
We may disclose your
personal information to third parties:
- If we are under a duty to disclose
or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in
order to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or to protect
the rights, property, or safety of Mammoth, our customers, or others. This
includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the
purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- In the event
that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your
personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
- If Mammoth or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third
party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of
the transferred assets;
The transmission of information via the
internet is never completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect
your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to
our site; any transmission is at your own risk.
3. Other Uses of Data

obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us or to
ensure terms of the contracts are carried out;
- To allow you to participate
in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so;

Where you have consented, we may also
use your data to provide you with information by electronic means about goods
and services which may be of interest to you. If you do not want us to use your
data in this way for marketing purposes, please untick the relevant box situated
