What information might be collected by Jaguar Web Sites?
At Jaguar, we intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can visit Jaguar on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and address. It is our intent to let you know before we collect information from you on the Internet.

Even before registration we will collect anonymous information about how you have used the Web Site. This is a common standard procedure for any Web Site on the Internet. The information collected does not personally identify you but may be helpful to us for marketing purposes or improving the services we offer.
To improve the services we offer we will also collect anonymous information about the referring website (for example Google search) or the referring banner that leads you to the Jaguar.com websites.
If you choose to give the Jaguar personal information via the Internet that we may need -- to correspond with you or provide you with a subscription, for example -- it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.

How will Jaguar collect and store this information?
The Site can collect information about you in a number of ways; either directly requesting it from you (as on a registration form) or by automatically recording information about your visit to this Site. For example we might collect data regarding your journey through the Site or record the options that you have chosen to take.
Information is stored in a secure environment protected by a combination of physical and technical measures. There is no general public access to this information.

For how long will Jaguar store this information?
Jaguar will store this information in a secure and protected environment for as long as we believe it will better help us to understand how we can serve you, and respect your wishes. In addition legislation might oblige us to store this information for a certain period of time.  To understand how you can amend, or update information stored about you then please refer to the appropriate question in this section.

Where will your personal information be stored?
Jaguar operates in many countries across the world. To enable us to offer consistent service to you, our customers, wherever you may be, we manage our Internet sites from one central site.
This is currently in the United Kingdom, but we also utilise web services which are delivered from other countries, including the United States of America.
There is not one set of data protection laws that covers both Europe and the United States of America, and the European laws require you to give your unambiguous consent to us before we can transfer and store your personal data in the United States.

Why do Jaguar collect this information?
We need this information to help us improve our services to you; we want to make it easier to tailor our products and services to your particular needs.
