TERMS OF USE
PRIVACY POLICY
This site is owned and operated
by The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club. Your
privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. We want to make your
experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and
use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we
gather and how we use it.
Definition of Information Gathered
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club gathers two
types of information about users:
- Information provided through
optional, voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, participate
in message boards or forums, to e-mail a friend, and from participation in
polls and surveys;
- Information gathered through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views
throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content
to readers' needs and to help our advertisers
and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Because The
Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club derives its revenue
mainly from sponsorships and advertising,
providing such aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service
free to users. Under no circumstances does The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club
divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club Gathers User
Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require voluntary submission of
personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. The Windsor &
Maidenhead Executive Job Club gathers the e-mail addresses of
users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing
list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to
the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters
at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
Users of the site's Message Boards and Forums must register separately for
these services (both are free of charge) in order to post messages, although
they need not register to visit the site. During registration the user is
required to supply a username, password, and e-mail address.
3. "E-mail this to a friend" Service
Site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to
someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". The user must
provide their e-mail address, as well as that of the recipient. This
information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to
let the recipient know who sent the e-mail. The information is not used for any
other purpose.
4. Polling
We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions
with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues.
Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to
any particular user. The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club
may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can
vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with
information about individual users.
5. Surveys
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club may
occasionally conduct user surveys to better target content to our audience. We
reserve the right to share the aggregated demographic information with our sponsors, advertisers and partners.
No personal information will be shared with any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act 1998
(COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.
USAGE TRACKING
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club tracks user
traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this
information with individual user data. The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club
does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club may track
and catalogue search terms that users enter in our Search function, never
associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each
page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of
your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although
it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have
specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie
can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off
your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. The
Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club uses cookies to track
user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a
one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you have set
your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning
message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this
site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards,
forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club uses any
information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our
network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on
the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to
send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls,
surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on
a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out
special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in
something we are doing. The
Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club never shares
newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what
individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms
entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users.
But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club creates
aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers,
sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more
effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent
to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users,
an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad.
We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of
our users or the public.
SHARING OF INFORMATION
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club uses the
above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help
our advertisers better understand our audience's demographics. This is
essential to keeping our service free. We will not share information about
individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
SECURITY
The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club operates
secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password
protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
· Opting not to register to receive our
electronic newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain
interactive areas, which completely alleviates the need to gather any
personally identifiable information from our users.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information
by The Windsor & Maidenhead Executive Job Club. If we
decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so
that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it.
