1. Statement of intent
From time to time, you may be asked to submit personal information about
yourself (e.g. name and email address etc) in order to receive or use
services on our websites.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the Geefizz
Ltd 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. Our services are
designed to give you the information that you want to receive. Geefizz
Ltd will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet
current Internet best practice.
2. Information on visitors
During the course of any visit to our websites the pages you see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded
to your computer. Most, if not all, websites do this, because cookies
allow the website publisher to do useful things like find out whether
the computer (and probably its user) has visited the site before. This
is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie
left there on the last visit.
Any information that is supplied by cookies can help us to provide you
with a better service and assists us to analyse the profile of our
visitors. For example: if on a previous visit you went to, say, the
education pages, then we might find this out from your cookie and
highlight educational information on a second visit.
Both the cookies and the embedded code provide non-personal statistical
information about visits to pages on the site, the duration of
individual page view, paths taken by visitors through the site, data on
visitors' screen settings and other general information. Geefizz Ltd
uses this type of information, as with that obtained from other cookies
used on the site, to help it improve the services to its users.
If you wish to reject a cookie, you can use the process set out below in
point 7.
3. What is a cookie?
When you enter a site your computer will automatically be issued with a
cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our
server. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just
the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site
in order to track traffic flows.
Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site that have been
visited by the computer in question, and for how long. 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.
4. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to Geefizz Ltd we have
legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that 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 Geefizz Ltd will only be used within Geefizz Ltd and by its
service providers. It will never be supplied to anyone outside Geefizz
Ltd without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or
permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you post or send offensive or
inappropriate content anywhere on our websites
or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on our websites,
and the Geefizz Ltd considers such behaviour to be serious and/or
repeated, Geefizz Ltd can use whatever information that is available to
it about you to stop such behaviour. This may include informing relevant
third parties such as your employer, or e-mail provider 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. For safety reasons, however, Geefizz Ltd may store
messaging transcript data (including message content, member names,
times and dates). We will ensure that all personal information supplied
is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you are notified on our websites that your information may be used to allow Geefizz Ltd to contact you
for "service administration purposes", this means that Geefizz
Ltd may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you
have signed up for.
We will not contact you for promotional
purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new
services or events unless you agree to be contacted for such purposes
when you submit your information to the site directly, or to individuals
who manage the site, or at a later time
if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
All endeavours are made to ensure that
any persons in photos and other media submitted to the site consent to
their image being published on the website. If the person has attended
an event organised in conjunction with Geefizz Ltd., it is assumed this
consent has been granted. If a person objects to the publication of
their image, they should contact info@geefizz.com
immediately to have the image removed as soon as feasible
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Geefizz
Ltd holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge
£100 for information requests.) Please address requests to info@geefizz.com
6. Users 16 and under
Geefizz websites are designed for users over age 16. If you are aged 16 or
under, you are not allowed to access our websites. You should also not provide us
with any personal information.
