2 Information - Gathering and Tracking
- Information gathered on registration. When you register for the Senior
Management Network Service, you provide Public Details and Private Details
(“Registration Information”). They are available to you, and
capable of being changed, through the Members Details page.
- Cookies. We use small files known as "cookies", a technology that installs a small amount of information on a Web site user's computer to permit the Web site to recognise future visits using that computer, as follows:
- To hold Members’ login information, Password and User ID, which you can choose to save.
- Advertisements and Tracking, although the Senior Management Network intends to keep these to a minimum.
- You may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits, but by doing so , it may effect your use of the Web site and available facilities.
3 Information - Sharing and Use
- The over-riding principle of the Senior Management Network is that the
information is available for the personal benefits of its Members and their
interest. In accordance with this principle, the Senior Management Network
and (where relevant) its credit card processing agents may supply your personal
information to affiliated or subsidiary businesses to enhance the Senior
Management Network experience, but will not supply your personal data to
a third party for commercial exploitation - i.e. the Senior Management Network
will not sell the lists of its Members' email addresses to a third party
in this respect.
- Registration information. Only the Public Details will be available
to other members.
- Email addresses. The Senior Management Network does not directly
make your email address available to anyone on any screen of the Senior
Management Network Service. The only legitimate way of making contact with
another Member found on the Senior Management Network Service is for a Member
to enter a message which the Senior Management Network will send on that
Member's behalf. The email sent will include the sending Member's email
address so that the recipient can respond directly to the sender. This means
by sending a contact message, the sending Member is disclosing his/her email
address.. 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. Members may change their email address at any
time through requesting this change, with their new email address, to contact@senior-management-network.co.uk,
as this is their primary identification with the Senior Management Network
Service. This will be effected as soon as possible (normally about two working
days), and for security, to verify the new address, an email will be sent
to the member to respond to, to re-activate their account, the same as at
registration.
- Advertising. The The Senior Management Network Service may include
interactive advertising for other businesses. It may use, and provide to
third parties, anonymous demographic data provided by Members to target
this advertising more appropriately.
- Credit Card information. For your security, the Senior Management
Network uses Name , who operate a secure server,
to process its credit card payments. They encrypt Members' credit or debit
card information and authorise payment directly. This means that Members'
credit card details are never revealed to us. Name ,
may transfer to, process and hold your credit card information in countries
either within or outside the European Economic Area in connection with performing
their duties.
- Companies in the Senior Management Network group. The Senior Management
Network 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 the Senior Management Network business. If all of the
assets which the Senior Management Network 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.
