PRIVACY POLICY
Please read this carefully
Before using this Website (that is, any site operated by Lifestyle Revolution®) it is your responsibility to read the Privacy Policy. You can notify us in the manner set out below if you do not want us to share information about you with third parties.
The basic principles
By accessing and using this Website you are agreeing to be legally bound by the PRIVACY POLICY. Identification is determined to protect your privacy. It is very important to us that you should be able to use and enjoy this Website without having to compromise your privacy unacceptably.
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 be able 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 helps us to maintain free-to-user access to much of the Website.
We answer your important questions
“What information do you collect about me?”
We automatically collect some data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns. This is aggregate data and does not identify any individual.
We may also ask you to provide personal 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 e–mail us or make contact with us in other ways. Such contact gives us information about you.
If you have any financial dealings or make purchases with our trading partners on co–branded sites, they will ask for certain information. This information may be shared with us.
“For what purposes do you collect and use this information?”
We use aggregate audience details (where no individual is identifiable) to help us improve our understanding of our users and their preferences. We use it to assist us in arranging relevant advertising, commercial opportunities and competitions, as well as ensuring the best educational coverage. It also helps us develop this Website and audit it’s use.
The information about you as an identifiable individual, including contact details, may be used in the following ways:
- to contact you for various purposes ( eg. event and workshop notification).
- to create and draw to your attention editorial material and commercial opportunities that may be of interest to you.
- to be shared with advertisers, trading partners and other commercial entities with whom we have or might have an association. We may also share the information that they obtain about their users, which may include you.
“The quality and security of your personal information.”
We promote information privacy principles and fair information practices. We do not sell or lease personal customer information to anyone, nor do we buy or rent personal information from third parties. We believe it is important to make sure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. To this end, we have procedures to monitor some of your personal information.
We may disclose your personal information to external service providers for the purposes of our business, on a confidential basis, for example an agent, mailing houses and Graduate Support providers. We do reserve the right to report personal information in the limited circumstances where we believe, in good faith, that disclosure is required to cooperate with regulating or law enforcement authorities, to collect or report debts owed to us and to protect our rights or property.
We also request that you contact us and tell us if any of your personal information has changed (eg. your address, email address etc.) or if you believe that the personal information is inaccurate. After you advise us we can then update our records and ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate and up to date.
We are committed to maintaining a high level of security of our client(s) files and personal information.
We use the following security measures to protect personal information:
- locked offices;
- alarm systems which are monitored 24 hours a day by security personnel;
- passwords on all computers;
- a firewall on our computer network and
- virus protection software.
“How private are my details?”
We only share personal information about you with third parties whom we have selected carefully and with whom we have, or may have, a commercial relationship. Identification complies with the relevant legal requirements and takes all reasonable care to ensure that your information is secure and private and is only seen by responsible third parties. However we cannot be held responsible for the actions of any third party who receives or obtains access to the information, nor for any breach of security.
As far as practicable, we ensure that unauthorised people cannot access secure data through our website or servers. Our servers use encryption and/or authentication to protect your sensitive information. Our staff members also follow confidentiality policies that are designed to protect your personal privacy.
If you tell us that you do not want us to use your details, then data about your use of the Web Site would then only form part of aggregated statistics and would not be related to you as an individual.
“What do I do if I am not happy for you to share information about me with others?”
You may not wish us to share personal details about you with third parties outside our Associated Group, or to use your information in the other ways we have described in this Privacy Policy. Your personal details may in any event be shared with third party organizations we have contracted to provide services to us, on an agency basis, which include processing data. We may also have to release information (which could include the contents of e-mail communications between any persons) because of a legal requirement on us or pursuant to a court order.
