Recording of IP
addresses and statistical monitoring
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are
used to connect your computer to the Internet, and are recorded by
every site on the Internet. BSM
uses "Analog" software to gather and analyse anonymous activity
information for statistical purposes and for administration of our
web site and servers. The general information we collect is used to
improve the content of our web pages and your navigation through our
site. This software does not collect any personal information, and
we do not record or store individual visitor profiles.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers
that are transferred to hard drives through web browsers to enable
recognition of individual visitors. Cookies are used on the
BSM to identify you as a returning
visitor. They allow us to store details pertaining to any individual
settings you may have selected whilst using our website. Cookies on
our website do not store your email address or any financial details
pertaining to your account with us.
Registration and
Order Forms
Visitors need not register to visit our
home page and access information about the company. Some specific
pages may require registration and the provision of personal contact
data (such as name and email address). User-specific data
volunteered by you when requesting membership is used to allow us to
contact you to advise of new services or products that may be of
relevance to you. The data is archived for marketing and sales
internal use only and is never shared with other organisations.
Financial
Information
Our web site is not protected by the
industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, so we only
accept financial information (such as credit card numbers) via fax
or email directly from the authorised card holder. This data is not
shared with other organisations, except when transmitting the credit
card number to the appropriate credit card company during order
processing. The data is archived electronically and in paper format,
for internal accounting use only.
Opt-Out Consent
In accordance with the requirements of
the Data Protection Act 1998 and the minor revisions listed in
December 2003, we provide the opportunity for you to opt out of
certain types of usage of your personal data when supplied to us via
registration and order forms. Should you wish your personal data to
be explicitly removed from our database you can request this by
emailing
head@britishschoolmadeira.com. In taking a trial membership of
the BSM
group of websites you are agreeing that you may be
contacted on rare occasions ONLY by BSM
for information purposes.
Use of Data
Any data gathered through the
BSM web site is used for internal
purposes only. This data is not shared with other organisations. In
the unlikely event that BSM or
substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party,
customer data will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Surveys/Competitions
Web site surveys are used to schedule
improvements, corrections or additions to the site. Responses to
product-related surveys are used to improve our products and
services. Should you provide us with contact data in response to
survey questions, or as part of a competition entry, you will
receive mailings or telephone calls only if you request this, or, if
applicable, in the event that you have been selected to receive a
prize.
E-mail newsletters
On each occasion that you receive an
e-mail you will be given the opportunity to opt out of receiving
future e-mail communications. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy
that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give
your e-mail address to a third-party. This is a strict and
unchanging policy.
Data Quality and
Access
BSM
takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we maintain is
accurate, complete and timely for the purposes for which they are
used. We also take reasonable precautions to protect it from loss,
misuse or alteration.
Your Consent to this
Policy
By using our web site, you consent to
the collection and use of your data by BSM
as specified above. Your visit and any dispute over
privacy is subject to this Policy and our
disclaimer. Should we decide to change our privacy policy we
will post all changes on this page so that you are always kept aware
of how we use any data you provide to us.
