eNews 2.0 recognizes
the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information
collected about our users. For the purposes of this Privacy Statement, the word
users include visitors to our web site, subscribers to our services, and
advertising customers.
Personal Information
We collect personal information when we provide our services
to you. Generally we will tell you why we are collecting information when we
collect it and how we plan to use it or these things will be obvious when we
collect the information.
Use of Information
We usually collect personal information such as your name and
e-mail address. When you are online, we collect information regarding the pages
within our network which you visit and what you click on. As a general rule we
do not collect sensitive information. However, if we do, it will usually be for
the purposes of providing our goods or services and if the law requires us to,
we will seek your consent to collect it.
We use your information to provide our services to you, to fulfill
administrative functions associated with these services, for example billing,
to enter into contracts with you or third parties and for marketing and client
relationship purposes. Where your personal information is contained within an
advertisement which we publish for you, we may also use your information for
publication of that same advertisement in other media, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the initial publication.
Use by Third Parties
eNews 2.0 may disclose your information to its service
providers and contractors from time to time to help us to provide and market
our goods and services to you. We may also share your information with third
parties who provide prizes for competitions or reader offers. If we do this we
generally require these parties to protect your information in the same way we
do.
Use of Aggregate Data
We may collect certain non-personal information to optimise
our goods and services including our Web pages for your computer (e.g., the
identity of your Internet browser, the type of operating system you use, your
IP address and the domain name of your Internet service provider). We may use
such non-personal information for internal purposes, including but not limited
to improving the content of our sites.
eNews 2.0 may use personally identifiable information in
aggregate form to improve our goods and services including our Web sites and
make them more responsive to the needs of our customers. This statistical
compilation and analysis of information may also be used by eNews 2.0 or
provided to others as a summary report for marketing, advertising or research
purposes.
Security
eNews 2.0 strives to ensure the security, integrity and
privacy of personally identifiable information of our customers. We use a
variety of physical and electronic security measures including restricting
physical access to our offices and firewalls and secure databases to keep
personal information secure from misuse, loss or unauthorised use or disclosure.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
totally secure.
Public Information
Any information posted on bulletin boards and/or
communicated in chat areas becomes public information. While eNews 2.0 strives
to protect and respect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any
information you disclose in a chat room or bulletin board.
Cookies
Cookies are data that a Web site transfers to an
individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can facilitate a
user's ongoing access to and use of a site. They allow us to track usage
patterns and to compile data that can help us improve our content and target
advertising. If you do not want information collected through the use of
Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny
or accept the Cookie feature. But you should note that Cookies may be necessary
to provide you with features such as merchandise transactions or registered
services.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when
you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your
name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and
other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you.
However the internet is an ever evolving medium. We may
change our privacy policy from time to time to incorporate necessary future
changes. Of course, our use of any information we gather will always be
consistent with the policy under which the information was collected,
regardless of what the new policy may be.
