Privacy Policy
Athensis Ltd is committed to respecting
the privacy of your personal information. This Website Privacy Notice explains
our policy for dealing with personal information that we collect through
our website; www.athensis.co.uk.
Throughout this Policy, we refer to your "personal information"
which means information which identifies
you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably
ascertained. Your home address and home telephone number are examples
of personal information.
We will post any changes to this Privacy Notice on the Website, so we encourage
you to check this Website Privacy Notice from time to time. In addition to the
provisions of this Website Privacy Notice, there may also be specific and additional
privacy provisions that apply to certain sections of the Websites. Because those
specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we
recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency
between the provisions of this Website Privacy Notice and those other specific
and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.
Information collected
The information about you which we may collect through the Websites includes:
• Information collected when you register, which may include personal information
such as your name and contact details;
• The content of electronic forms you submit via the Websites, requesting
us to provide services or information, or take actions;
• Any messages or comments you submit to us via the Websites, eg. through
an email or "Contact form";
• Information collected when you participate in an online survey
You may browse some information-only areas of the Websites without providing
any personal information, however we may not be able to provide the full range
of services through the Websites if we are not provided with the information
outlined above.
In common with many commercial websites we may also collect aggregated information
which tells us about visitors to the Websites. For example, we may collect information
about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of the Websites are
most commonly accessed. This information is used by us to help to administer
and improve the Websites.
No cookies
The Websites do not use "cookies", small text files which are placed
on your hard drive by some websites to store information.
Use & Disclosure of information
We may share personal information with other Athensis Ltd entities
and with third parties, including organisations with whom we have co-promotional
arrangements (and any third parties used in administering those arrangements).
We may also share personal information with other service providers including
organisations that assist us by providing archival, auditing, consulting, mailhouse,
delivery, technology and security services. In addition to providing our services
to you, we may use or disclose personal information that we collect about you:
• For the purposes for which it was collected;
• Where you have consented to the use or disclosure;
• To maintain our relationship with you;
• For purposes related to Athensis Ltd research, planning,
service development, security and risk management;
• To the extent that we are required or authorised by law to do so.
We may also use your personal information to keep you informed of our services,
developments in the area of interest and other matters. If you do not wish to
be contacted for those purposes, please let us know using the contact details
set out below. We aim to provide you with information that we consider may be
of interest or relevance to you.
Links
The Websites may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations
which may be of interest to you. Linked websites are responsible for their own
privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy
statements.
Security We use a number of mechanisms to protect the security
and integrity of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive
to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once any personal
information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect
that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification
or disclosure.
Governing law This document shall be governed and construed
by the laws applicable to United Kingdom and the parties submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of United Kingdom in respect of any dispute arising
under this document or its implementation or enforcement.
