The term 'personal data' refers to personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, e-mail address, organisation name or mailing address.
Notification of changes to this policy
We are continually adding new functionality and features to this website and also improving existing services. Because of these ongoing improvements, modifications in the law and the changing nature of technology, our data practices may vary from time to time. If and when our data practices change, we will (as soon as practical) amend this policy in order to reflect these changes. As such, we encourage you to check these pages frequently. Should you continue to use this website after the policy has been amended means you will be deemed to have accepted and consented to the changes, whether you revisit this page or not.
Collection of personal data including e-mail addresses
It is possible to browse elements of the outsource website without registering, however should you register in order to view advanced website content and/or order products from the website, you will be required to provide certain personal data. We will collect and store the information that you give us. The following personal information will be collected at the time of registration and/or a product purchase:
Your name, job title, postal address, organisation name, email address, telephone number, fax number, various other information relating to you and your company.

Anonymous data collected through this website
In addition to the information we collect as described above, we use technology to collect anonymous information about the use of the website. For example, we use technology to track which pages of the website visitors view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use. This technology does not identify you personally; it simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and how they use the website. We use this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality of the website and our e-mail updates, to better understand our clients and markets, and to improve our services.
Cookies
In order to collect the anonymous data described in the preceding paragraph, we may in the future use temporary 'cookies' that collect the first level domain name of the user (for example, if your e-mail address is 'yourname@yourcompany.com', the cookie collects the 'yourcompany.com' portion of your e-mail address) and the date and time you accessed the website.
Cookies by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user. A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not.
We also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the website. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer on a network, or in this case, the internet. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as determining how many of our visitors are from outside of the United Kingdom. We may also perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from (i.e. aol.com, yourcompany.com) to more accurately gauge our users' demographics.
Disclosure of your personal data
EMP Media Limited recognises that your privacy is important, and is committed to protecting it. For this reason EMP Media Limited will not share, sell or distribute your personal data to unrelated third parties, except under these strictly limited circumstances:
* Personal data may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for us for further processing in accordance with the purposes for which the data was originally collected or for purposes to which you have subsequently consented.
* We may share or transfer the information in our databases to comply with a legal requirement, for the administration of justice, to protect your vital interests, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or this website, to take precautions against legal liability, or in the event of a sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event.
* We may share or transfer the information in our databases with other divisions of the EMP group of companies where appropriate.
Before disclosing personal data to a third party, we contractually require the third party to take adequate precautions to protect that data and maintain confidentiality.
Data integrity and security
We strive to maintain the reliability, accuracy, completeness and currency of personal data in our databases and to protect the privacy and security of our databases.

Our employees and counsellors who have access to personal data have been trained to handle such data properly and in accordance with our security protocols and strict standards of confidentiality. Although we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorised disclosure, alteration or destruction of data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
Data access and corrections
