Privacy
Policy
This is a legal document, which sets out how lifting-world handles
data which identifies you. You should read it in conjunction with
the lifting-world Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy
Policy forms part.
At
lifting-world we believe strongly in protecting the privacy of
our users' personal information. This statement describes the
privacy practices we apply for the lifting-world Service. As part
of that, it also expresses our approach to complying with the
data protection laws, which apply in the United Kingdom. If we
change this Privacy Policy, we will notify you of the changed
document in the same way as we notify changes to the Lifting-World
Terms and Conditions.
If
you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should
contact lifting-world customer service department.
1.
The information we gather and track
-
Information
gathered on registration. When you register for the lifting-world
Service, you provide your name, your company name/s, the year/s
you were there, your email address, and some optional notes
about yourself ("Registration Information"). They
are available to you, and capable of being changed, through
the Your Details page.
-
Cookies.
We use small files known as "cookies" to enhance users'
experience of the lifting-world Service as follows:
- To hold Members' login information, so that your workplace
displayed when you visit the lifting-world Service. This option
can be turned off by switching the "Remember Your Password"
option to "No" in Your Details.
- To facilitate optimal use of the lifting-world Service
by Members, by means of a temporary "session" cookie.
These cookies disappear when the Member's browser session ends,
or if the Member clicks the "logoff" text which appears
on the lifting-world Service.
2.
Sharing and use of information
-
The
over-riding principles we apply are these:
- We, and (where relevant) our credit card processing agents,
will not supply your personal data to a third party for commercial
exploitation - thus, you can rest assured that we will not sell
the lists of our Members' email addresses to a third party;
and
- the only circumstances in which we will provide any of your
personal data to a third party for non-commercial purposes are
those contained in this Privacy Policy.
-
Email
addresses. We do not directly make your email address available
to anyone on any screen of the lifting-world Service. The only
legitimate way of making contact with a friend found on the
Lifting-World Service is for a Full Member to enter a message
which we will send on the Member's behalf. The email sent will
include the sending Full Member's email address so that the
recipient can respond to the sender directly. This means by
sending a contact message, the sending Member is disclosing
his/her email address. Members may change their email address
at any time through Your Details. Members' personal notes must
not include their email address. If your email system automatically
responds to a contact email, your email address will be revealed.
-
Advertising.
The lifting-world Service may include interactive advertising
for other businesses. We may use, and provide to third parties,
anonymised demographic data provided by Members to target this
advertising more appropriately.
-
Companies
in the lifting-world group. We may share data supplied by
you (or collected about you) with our subsidiaries and other
companies in our group, but only for the purposes described
in this policy.
-
Changes
in lifting-world business. If all of the assets which lifting-world
uses to operate its business (or substantially all of them)
are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data
we then hold to that party.
-
Place
of processing. The personal information held by us is held
on and processed by computers situated in the United Kingdom.
3.
Security
We
have security measures in place to protect our customer database
and access to this database is restricted internally. However,
it remains each Member's responsibility:
-
to
protect against unauthorised access to Your Details;
-
to
ensure against use by anyone else of the lifting-world Service
through the machine that Member uses while they are "logged
on" to the Lifting-World Service;
-
to
log off or exit from the lifting-world Service when not using
it; and
-
to
keep his/her password secret.
4.
Opt-out policy
-
You
may have your registration details removed at any time. To remove
yourself please click
here and we will remove all Your Details.
-
We
provide Members with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
e-mailed Newsletters which they have previously opted to receive.
This opt-out can be effected by making appropriate selections
at Your Details.
5.
Disclosure for legal reasons
We
reserve the right to communicate such of a Member's personal information
as we hold to third parties which seek the disclosure of it, and
which make a legally-compliant request for its disclosure.
