Your privacy is important to Innovation Networks. We want you to
feel confident about the privacy and security of your personal data
and therefore we have developed a website privacy policy which
includes all the rights granted to you by the Data Protection Act
2001. We hope the following policy will help you understand how we
collect, use, and safeguard the personal data you provide to us
through our website.
In this policy, “we” and “us” refers to Innovation Networks and
“our” shall be construed accordingly.
We advise you to read the policy carefully. If you have any
questions regarding privacy issues, you may write to our Data
Protection Officer at the addresses below.
1. We do not obtain any personal data, that is,
information that identifies you as an individual other than that
which you choose to provide. We only collect information that we
believe to be relevant to conduct our business, for marketing
purposes and to monitor the improvement of our products. At times we
may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal
information, such as your email address and postal address, for
purposes such as corresponding with us, registering at a site,
making a purchase, or participating in an online survey or
competition.
2. We collect and use personal data to send direct
marketing material on our products, promotions and offers that may
be of interest to you, to provide you with information that you
request, to respond to feedback that you submit to the sites, to
allow you to participate in any of our online surveys and
competitions and generally to be able to correspond with you after
we receive a request from you.
3. We collect, use and keep any personal
information given to us by you, strictly for the purposes indicated
in this policy and as described in our website and in strict
adherence to local Data Protection laws.
4. If you browse our website, you do so
anonymously: we do not collect personal information - such as your
email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of
your computer) and we use technologies to give us an idea of which
parts of our website you visit and how long you spend there. But we
do not link this information to anything personally identifiable.
The only other information automatically provided to us is the type
of computer and operating system you are using. Your browser
automatically supplies us with this information.
5. In some of our customer email communication, we
use a device called a “click through URL.” When you click on one of
these URLs, you pass through our system before arriving at the
website that is your true destination. We use click through to
determine the level of interest in particular topics and to measure
the effectiveness of our communications. We do not share this data
with anyone, and we make no attempt to match click-through to
particular email addresses.
6. We do not send unsolicited mail, messages or
junk mail. Customers have a right to request not to receive direct
marketing material by writing to us at the address below.
7. We do not provide any third parties with any
information that you provide unless obliged to do so by law, by
court order or with your specific consent.
8. Market research using customer information is
only carried out so that we may understand our customers’ needs and
business trends and in order to develop and improve our products.
9. Third party service providers may be contracted
to provide services to us. For this purpose, we will need to provide
such companies/organisations with the necessary personal data. We
will make it mandatory on such companies/organisations to strictly
comply with all applicable provisions of law when processing your
personal data in the provision of their services to us.
10. Authorised third parties, including external
service providers, with permitted access to your information are
specifically required to apply appropriate security measures to
appropriate technical and organisational security measures that may
be necessary to safeguard the personal data being processed from
unauthorised or accidental disclosure, loss or destruction and from
any unlawful forms of processing.
11. All reasonable efforts are made to keep
customer information up-to-date. You will help us take prompt and
efficient action by informing us of any changes to your personal
data by sending us an email or writing to us at the addresses
provided below.
12. You may write to us at the same addresses if
you would like to know what personal information we hold about you.
13. We strive to invest in the latest security
technologies available and maintain strict information security
policies designed to prevent unauthorised access to your information
by anyone, including our staff.
14. All our staff are aware of their responsibility
for maintaining customer confidentiality and complying with our
information security policies.
15. Links that we provide to third parties websites
are clearly marked and we are not in any way responsible for the
content of such websites. We suggest that users should read the
privacy policies of such third-party websites.
16. By using this website, you signify your assent
to our privacy policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do
not use this site.
17. We reserve the right, at our complete
discretion, to change, modify, add and/or remove portions of this
policy at any time. Your continued access to or use of our website
will mean that you agree to any and all changes.
