By using the Profiles International website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

Profiles International collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Profiles International also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your postcode and company name.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Profiles International. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Profiles International for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Profiles International Website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Profiles International public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Profiles International does not read any of your private online communications.

Profiles International encourages you to review the privacy statements of Websites you choose to link to from Profiles International so that you can understand how those Websites collect, use and share your information. Profiles International is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Websites outside of the Profiles International Website.

Use of your Personal Information

Profiles International collects and uses your personal information to operate the Profiles International Website and deliver the services you have requested. Profiles International also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Profiles International and its affiliates. Profiles International may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Profiles International does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Profiles International may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Profiles International may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Profiles International and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Profiles International does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Profiles International keeps track of the Websites and pages our customers visit within Profiles International in order to determine what Profiles International services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within Profiles International to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Profiles International Websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Profiles International or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Profiles International; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Profiles International or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Profiles International Website uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise Profiles International's pages or register with a Profiles International site or service, a cookie helps Profiles International to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses and so on. When you return to the same Profiles International Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Profiles International features that you customised.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Profiles International services or Websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Profiles International secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Profiles International secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

Changes to this Statement

Profiles International will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Profiles International encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Profiles International is protecting your information.
