Privacy Policy
For ‘The Website Owner’, read ‘ISCEV Symposium Liverpool 2022
General
The website creators, owners, subsidiaries, business partners, employees, associates and all other relevant personnel, herein referred to as The Website Owner, strive to offer its visitors the many advantages of internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalised experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number, billing information [e.g. credit card number], I.P. address) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorised third party. This Privacy Policy is provided to allow you to access our information with complete confidence.
How we gather information from users
The manner in which we collect and store information depends on the page you have visited, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as reports or newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most websites, The Website Owner also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognise you and hold information from your visit. Amongst other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement whilst visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customise the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualised content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g. to learn which pages are visited most often or which features are most attractive to visitors). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on The Website Owner’s websites to communicate with you about:
· your registration and customisation preferences;
· our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy;
· services and products offered by The Website Owner;
· Non-mandatory surveys which may determine future products and services offered by The Website Owner;
· other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by The Website Owner may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to, site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our web hosting service for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be amongst the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
The Website Owner expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a The Website Owner page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through The Website Owner you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. The Website Owner is not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
Whilst visiting The Website Owner’s sites, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. The Website Owner does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of The Website Owner and this policy.
Children
The Website Owner does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 18 as it is our firm intention to comply with all applicable child privacy protection regulations. If we discover we have received any information from a child under 18 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you believe that The Website Owner has any information from or about anyone under 18, please contact us at the address listed below. The Website Owner does not therefore monitor information for compliance with such regulations as it is deemed outwith the scope of same.
