Privacy Policy Before using the Web Site
or entering your email address into any forms, it is your responsibility to read this Privacy
Policy and to notify us in the manner set out
in the Policy below if you do not want us to collect
information about you.
Basic Principles By accessing and using
the Web Site you are agreeing to be legally bound
by the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy. You
should therefore also read the Terms
of Use before using the Web Site.
We are determined to protect your privacy. It
is very important to us that you should be able
to use and enjoy the Web Site without having to
compromise your privacy in any way. Knowing something
about our users is, however, necessary to ensure
that our service is continually improved. We need
to build an accurate picture of the needs and
wishes of our users, and to communicate with you.
That enables us to offer a service that is relevant
and truly interactive, which is what our users
expect. It also means we will be able to maintain
the free-to-user access to the Web Site.
Information collected We automatically
collect some data about our users' browsing actions
and patterns within the Web Site. This is aggregate
data and does not identify any individual.
We
may also ask you to provide information on a voluntary basis in order to get a
clearer picture of our users. It is then entirely up to you whether you are happy
to give us this information. In the course of entering
competitions, promotions and other online offers you will be asked to give some
details about yourself. You may also choose to email us or make contact with us
in other ways. Such contact gives us information about you, which in certain circumstances we may wish to record, but we will ask your permission first.
CVs: should you choose to submit a CV as part of the consultants registration process, this will not be made available to anyone outside Schoolzone unless you give express permission, which would be sought from you in advance.
"What use do you make of this information?"
We use aggregate user details (where no individual
is identifiable) to help us arrange relevant advertising,
commercial opportunities and competitions. We
also use it to help us develop the Web Site and
audit its use. We conduct market research and
other surveys. We will use the information you
have provided about yourself to create and draw
to your attention editorial material and commercial
opportunities that you have requested or which
may be of interest to you.
We
may share with advertisers, trading partners and other commercial entities with
whom we have or might have an association the information you have provided, unless
you state otherwise during the registration process. We may also share in the
information they obtain about their users, which may include you.
"What are my privacy options?" Our regular email
newsletter contains information about content
on the Web Site and any other information relating
to the Web Site and our on-line partners. If you
do not wish to subscribe to the newsletter you
can unsubscribe afterwards by clicking on unsubscribe
on the bottom of any email sent to you. This will cancel your registration. By entering your email address on the site where you are also asked to agree to terms and conditions or this Policy, you become a registered user and automatically gain access to the relevant public-protected areas of the site. There is no charge for this registration and you can unsubscribe any time at http://www.schoolzone.co.uk/community/subscription/unsubscribe.asp
We do not share any details entered via the registration form with any third parties. We may, however, provide profiling information based on this data, eg the number of KS3 Science teachers. If you enter a prize draw, it may be necessary to ask you if we can pass your details on to the provider, but we will ask first.
"Do you use cookies?"Cookies are small
text files that are sent to your computer when
you visit the Web Site and are stored on your
hard disc. They are used by the majority of websites.
We use cookies on this Web Site so that you do not have to log in each time, but these do not send or store any information other than that which you provide via the registration form.
Whilst Schoolzone is a UK-based sited aimed
at a UK audience (including those working with
UK communities overseas, eg HM Forces) the Internet
does not recognise national boundaries. Services
on the net are available globally and so the collection
and transmission of personal data is not always
confined to one country. Personal data may be
transferred outside the UK. By using the Web Site,
and by communicating with us electronically, you
accept that this is the environment in which your
personal data is processed.
Further information If you want further
information, or wish to communicate with us about
this Privacy Policy, please email us on philip@schoolzone.co.uk
