1. Introduction
This policy covers the ICNAPEDIA's use of personal information that the
ICNAPEDIA collects when you use icnapedia.org. The policy also gives you
information about cookies; ICNAPEDIA and third parties' use of cookies; and how
you may reject such cookies.
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about
yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive or use services on
our website. Such services include newsletters, audits, surveys, discussion
boards, polls, message boards and icnapedia.org/ICNA membership.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the ICNAPEDIA and
its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you
provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance
with this policy. When using your personal information the ICNAPEDIA will act in
accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best
practice.
2. Visitor Information
During the course of any visit to icnapedia.org, the pages you see, along with a
short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many
websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things
like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the
website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding,
the cookie left there on the last visit.
Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online
user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For
example: if on a previous visit you went to our education pages, we might find
this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second
and subsequent visits.
3. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique
identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on
your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser
if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your
browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to
you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online
traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the
opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a
cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of
course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that
user user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of
the icnapedia.org features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu
of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse
icnapedia.org anonymously until such time as you wish to register for
icnapedia.org services. For further information on cookies please visit http://www.aboutcookies.org.
4. Use and storage of
your personal information
When you supply any personal information to icnapedia.org (e.g. for
competitions, icnapedia.org Community services or icnapedia.org membership) we
have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect
the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the
notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the
information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.
In general, any information you provide to the ICNAPEDIA will only be used
within the ICNAPEDIA and by its agents and service providers. Your information
will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or
send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to
icnapedia.org or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on icnapedia.org,
the ICNAPEDIA can use whatever information that is available to it about you to
stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as
your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies
about the content and your behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the
service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been
met, or, in the case of icnapedia.org membership you no longer wish to continue
your registration as a icnapedia.org member. For safety reasons, however, the
ICNAPEDIA may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member
names, times and dates) arising from the use of icnapedia.org services such as
Connector for a period of six months. Where personal information is held for
people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other icnapedia.org
services (e.g. surveys, Learning Management Systems, CME Programs), that
information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is
run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held
securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you are notified on a icnapedia.org site that your information may be used to
allow the ICNAPEDIA to contact you for "Membership administration purposes",
this means that the ICNAPEDIA may contact you for a number of purposes related
to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you
with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been
suspended for maintenance. We might also contact you for promotional purposes,
such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on
icnapedia.org unless you specifically agree not to be contacted for such
purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time
if you inform us specifically that you do not wish to receive such information.
5. Access to your personal
information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information the ICNAPEDIA
holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected.There would be a 10 GBP
charge for this to cover administration costs.
Please address requests to the Data Protection Officer, ICNAPEDIA.ORG, Rm 2,
Academic Centre, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, BS16 1LE
6. Users 16 and under
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission
beforehand whenever you provide personal information to the ICNAPEDIA's website.
Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal
information.
