IP addresses

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

Storing your personal data

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to comply with our legal and contractual obligation.

At the end of the retention period, your Personal Data will either be securely deleted or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

In operating our website it may become necessary to transfer data that we collect from you to locations outside of the European Union for processing and storing. This could be, for example, if an order is placed for delivery to the U.S. then data from the delivery address will be transferred to the U.S. postal service in order for them to deliver the goods ordered. By providing your personal data to us, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We do our upmost to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to make sure that your data is treated and stored securely.

Unfortunately, the sending of information via the internet is not totally secure and on occasion such information can be intercepted. We cannot guarantee the security of data that you choose to send us electronically, sending such information is entirely at your own risk.

• to notify you about changes to our service.

We may also use your data to provide you with information about goods and services from us, and we may contact you about these via e-mail but only if you have consented to this by subscribing to our mailing list.

We will never share, sell or rent your information to third parties for their use for email marketing, and you will always be able to unsubscribe from our mailing list from any marketing email we send to you.

As a data subject, you have a number of statutory rights around control and access to your personal data. Subject to certain conditions, and in certain circumstances, you have the right to:

  • tell you why we are storing/processing it;
  • tell you who it could be disclosed to; and
  • let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form

• request the erasure of your Personal Data - this enables you to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where it's no longer required in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected
• restrict the processing of your Personal Data - this enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data, e.g. if you want us to verify its accuracy
• object to the processing of your Personal Data - this enables you to ask us to stop processing your Personal Data where we are relying on the legitimate interests of the business, as our legal basis for processing and there is something relating to your particular situation which makes you decide to object to processing on this ground

Cookie Policy

At Nest we use cookies and similar tools across our website to improve its performance and enhance your user experience. This policy explains how we do that.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files which a website may put on your computer or mobile device when you first visit a site or page. The cookie will help the website, or another website, to recognise your device the next time you visit. Web beacons or other similar files can also do the same thing. We use the term “cookies” in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

There are many functions cookies serve. For example, they can help us to remember your username and preferences, analyse how well our website is performing, or even allow us to recommend content we believe will be most relevant to you.

Certain cookies contain personal information – for example, if you click to “remember me” when logging in, a cookie will store your username. Most cookies won’t collect information that identifies you, and will instead collect more general information such as how users arrive at and use our website, or a user’s general location.

What sort of cookies does Nest use?

Generally, our cookies perform up to four different functions:

1. Essential Cookies

Some cookies are essential for the operation of our website. For example, we might use some cookies to allow us to identify subscribers and ensure they can access subscription only pages. If a subscriber opts to disable these cookies, the user will not be able to access all of the content that a subscription entitles them to.

2. Analytical and/or Performance Cookies

Some cookies analyse how our visitors use our website and to monitor website performance. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This can help us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. For example, we might use performance cookies to keep track of which pages are most popular, which method of linking between pages is most effective, and to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. We might also use these cookies to highlight articles or site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the website. 

3. Functionality Cookies

We use functionality cookies to allow us to remember your preferences for your return visits to our website. For example, cookies save you the trouble of typing in your username every time you access the site. This also enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

4. Behaviourally Targeted Advertising Cookies

Nest use cookies to record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website and any advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose anonymously. We do not tell third parties who you are.

Does anyone else use cookies on the Nest website?

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.

Advertisers for example sometimes use their own cookies to provide you with targeted advertising. If you are based in the European Union and would like to learn more about how advertisers use these types of cookies or to choose not to receive them, please visit www.youronlinechoices.eu. If you are based in the United States and would like to learn more, please visit www.aboutads.info/choices/.

Google Cookies

Nest may use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store and use this information. Google's privacy policy is available at www.google.com/privacypolicy.

Nest may publish Google AdSense interest-based advertisements on this website. These are tailored by Google to reflect your interests. To determine your interests, Google will track your behaviour across the web using cookies. You can view, delete or add interest categories associated with your browser using Google's Ads Preference Manager, available at www.google.com/ads/preferences. You can opt-out of the AdSense partner network cookie at www.google.com/privacy_ads. However, this opt-out mechanism uses a cookie, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your opt-out will not be maintained. To ensure that an opt-out is maintained in respect of a particular browser, you should use the Google browser plug-in available at www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin.
