The purpose of
this Privacy Policy is to inform you about the types of information
we gather about you when you visit our site. How we collect that
information. How we may use that information and whether we disclose
it to a third party. In order to register for this site we need
information from you, such as your name and address, telephone number
and email address as well as a username and password. It is our
intent to let you know how we intend to use that information. Most
importantly, though, is our disclosure in how we intend not to use
that information.
Information
Which We May Collect
We will
request that you supply us with personal information, including your
e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number, credit
card numbers are not stored by us in any way - we never see your
number. Our site may contain links to other web sites, including web
sites directed to children. Please note that we have no control over
the privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners,
advertisers, affiliates, sponsors or other sites to which we provide
links from/to our site. It is recommended you check the applicable
privacy policy of the web site sponsor when visiting other web sites.
Our site may also contain forums, bulletin boards, chat rooms, and
discussion groups in which other individuals may post information
that invades the privacy of another person. We have no control over
the privacy practices or the content of posts made by individuals not
employed by nannyselect.co.uk, and we take no responsibility for such
posts. We do keep track of the domains from which users visit us and
track the page(s) on our site the user visits. We analyze this data
for trends and statistics, and then we discard it. We cannot match
any of this data with a specific user due to the number of users on
our site. Like many other commercial sites, our sites may utilize a
standard technology called a "cookie" to collect
information about how our site is used. Cookies are a small text file
that were designed to help a web site recognize a user's browser as a
previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may
have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot
retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer
virus, or capture your e-mail address. Our web sites may use cookies
to enhance your visit. Cookies can store a user's password,
personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been
visited or keep track of selections, such as those selected in a
"shopping cart." Our cookies may collect your domain name
and track your selections through our web pages. We only use
"cookies" to gather the information indicated in this
policy and do not use cookies to gather personal identifying
information about you without your consent. We cannot match any of
this data with a specific user due to the number of users on our
site. We may require you to supply us with personal information
during a "registration" process online prior to using
certain features of our site. For example, you may be required to
register to use chat rooms, forums, to become a member and to access
other features. We will always offer a method of removing our
cookie(s) from your computer.
Use
of User Information
We may perform
statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior. This allows us to
measure relative interest in the various areas of our web sites for
marketing and advertising purposes. Any information we collect is
used for its own internal purposes to improve the content of the web
sites, to enhance users' experiences when visiting our sites, to
customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the
services required by an individual user. We do not use personal
identifying information for any reason that is not disclosed either
in this Policy or at the time the information is requested. We never
send e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or
consent to being contacted by e-mail. There are instances where you
will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list that will
send information about the site or our advertisers to your e-mail
address, but this will be done only with your permission and consent.
Even if you decide that, initially, you wish to receive e-mail from
us, you may decide, at any time, to "opt-out" (be removed)
from a mailing list.
Disclosure
to Third Parties
We do not
share personal identifying information with any third party, except
when a user of the site submits a job profile to be viewed by either
nannies or families in order to find a nanny or family, in such case
email addresses will be shown for direct contact purposes. Telephone
numbers are only shown with consent on the form. Addresses are never shown.
We disclose
only in aggregate form our statistical analyses or demographics of
users to third parties, such as advertisers or other business
partners. In some instances, we may operate shared web sites with
businesses affiliated with us. PLEASE BE AWARE that when you
voluntarily disclose personal information (such as your name, e-mail
address) in chat areas or bulletin boards to third parties, that
information may be collected by others outside the control of us and
may result in unsolicited messages from others.
Security
of Information Collected
We use our
best efforts to ensure the security of personal information submitted
by users. When collecting credit card information for online
purchases, we offer secured-server transactions that encrypt your
information in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and
misusing it. When we collect other information from our users, it is
stored in an area where the general public does not have access to it.
Opting-out
At any time
while assessing our site, any user while online may
"opt-out" of further e-mail contact from us (while still
allowing access to those portions of our site which do not depend on
an email address as an identifier). For further information about
opting-out, contact us at webmaster@nannyselect.co.uk

The right to
download and store or output the materials on our site is granted for
the user's personal use only, and materials may not be reproduced in
