General Information
When you use our website, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. When you share information with us, we can make our website even better for you. For instance, we can show you more relevant search results, help you connect with the right resource or to make sharing with others quicker and easier. As you use our website, we want you to be clear how we`re using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy. This is important; we hope you will take time to read it carefully. Remember, you can find controls to manage your information and protect your privacy and security. We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible.
Right to access, correct and delete data and to object to data processing
Site users have the right to access, correct and delete personal data relating to them, and to object to the processing of such data, by addressing a written request, at any time. We make every effort to put in place suitable precautions to safeguard the security and privacy of personal data, and to prevent it from being altered, corrupted, destroyed or accessed by unauthorized third parties. However, we do not control each and every risk related to the use of the Internet, and therefore warns the Site users of the potential risks involved in the functioning and use of the Internet. The Site may include links to other web sites or other internet sources. As we cannot control these web sites and external sources, we cannot be held responsible for the provision or display of these web sites and external sources, and may not be held liable for the content, advertising, products, services or any other material available on or from these web sites or external sources.
Management of personal data
You can view or edit your personal data online for many of our web features. You can also make choices about our collection and use of your data. How you can access or control your personal data will depend on which features you use. You can choose whether you wish to receive promotional communications from our website by email. If you receive promotional email or other messages from us and would like to opt out, you can do so by following the directions in that message.
Information we collect
Our website collects data to operate effectively and provide you the best experiences with its features. You provide some of this data directly, such as when you create first visit the website. We get some of it by recording how you interact with our website by, for example, using technologies like cookies, and receiving error reports or usage data from software running on your device. We also obtain data from third parties (including other companies). For example, we supplement the data we collect by purchasing demographic data from other companies. We also use services from other companies to help us determine a location based on your IP address in order to customize certain features to your location. The data we collect depends on the features you use.
How we use your information
Our website uses the data we collect for three basic purposes: to operate our website and provide (including improving and personalising) the features it offers, to send communications, including promotional communications, and to display advertising. In carrying out these purposes, we combine data we collect through the various website features you use to give you a more seamless, consistent and personalised experience. However, to enhance privacy, we have built in technological and procedural safeguards designed to prevent certain data combinations. For example, we store data we collect from you when you are unauthenticated (not signed in) separately from any account information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address or phone number.
Sharing your information
We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any action or provide any feature you have requested or authorised. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so. In addition, we share personal data among our controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data in order to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose.
