Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services. 

What Information Do We Collect?

 
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information: (a) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis; and (b) Website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Website. We do not knowingly collect sensitive information about you (for example, details of your health, race or religious or politicial beliefs) or personal information relating to anyone under the age of 13. 
 
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide 
 
Registration Information. 
You will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company, and your practices when you register to be a member of Voxopop, register for certain services, or register for email newsletters and alerts. You may also provide additional comments on how you see Voxopop servicing your needs and interests.  
 
Email Information. 
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.  
 
Uploaded Content and comments. 
Please note that Content you upload to the Website, and comments, remarks and other data you place on or through the Website is likely to be available to other current and future users of the Website. For this reason, you should not include any personal information about yourself or about any other person in Content that you upload to the Website and/or in any comments, remarks and other information you place on or through the Website. Note also that the range and categories of users that are entitled to access such material may change from time to time. We are not responsible for any wrongful use or disclosure or personal information arising from your non-compliance with this requirement. In addition, please be aware that your username is likely to be made available to other users of the Website during the ordinary course of the operation of the Website. 
 
2. Web Site Use Information 
Similar to other commercial web sites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Website is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the web sites visited just before and just after our Website. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them. 

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

 
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at customerservice@voxopop.com. We will also provide you with an “opt out” option at the time of your registration, to allow you to elect to not receive promotional messages from us. 
 
What Are Cookies? 
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each web site 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. 
 
How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? 
As you use our Website, our Website uses its cookies to enhance your experience of Voxopop. In some cases, we use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Website server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Website and which parts of the Website are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Website and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies. 
 
Sharing Information with Third Parties 
We will not provide your personal information, including email address, with any third parties (whether for a fee or otherwise), except to the extent necessary or convenient for us to operate, further develop or maintain the Website (which may include the use of third-party hosting services or consultants within Australia or overseas). 
 
Notice of New Services and Changes 
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our Website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at customerservice@voxopop.com. 

 
How Do We Protect Your Information?

 
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions? 
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. Some of the information you may enter on our Website may be transmitted securely via Secure Sockets Layer SSL, 128 bit encryption services. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP. Please contact customerservice@voxopop.com if you have any questions or concerns. 
 
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information? 
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing customerservice@voxopop.com. We will correct any errors or omissions in our records relating to your personally identifiable information upon your written request (subject to any reasonable confirmation checks we consider necessary). 
 
Certain Disclosures 
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, the Website, the users of the Website, and/or our Affiliated Parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of the Site, us, or third parties. 
 
What Happens When We no Longer need Your Information? 
We will delete (or otherwise make non-identifiable) our records of your personally identifiable information within a reasonable time, once we are satisfied that we no longer need that information in relation to your use of or access to the Website. 
 
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site? 
We are not responsible for the practices employed by web sites linked to or from our Website nor the information or content contained on such other web sites. Often links to other web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Website. 
 
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other web site, including web sites which have a link on our Website, is subject to that web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

 

Your Consent

 
By using our Website you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
