Privacy Policy:

NEWOD operates newod.co.uk and may operate other websites. It is NEWOD’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, NEWOD collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. NEWOD’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how NEWOD’s visitors use its website. From time to time, NEWOD may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

NEWOD also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on newod.co.uk blogs/sites. NEWOD only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to NEWOD’s websites choose to interact with NEWOD in ways that require NEWOD to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that NEWOD gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at newod.co.uk to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with NEWOD are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, NEWOD collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with NEWOD. NEWOD does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

NEWOD may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. NEWOD may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, NEWOD does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

NEWOD discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on NEWOD’s behalf or to provide services available at NEWOD’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using NEWOD’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. NEWOD will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, NEWOD discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a court order or other governmental request, or when NEWOD believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of NEWOD, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a NEWOD website and have supplied your email address, NEWOD may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with NEWOD and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. NEWOD takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Business Transfers

If NEWOD, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that NEWOD goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of NEWOD may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, NEWOD may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in NEWOD’s sole discretion. NEWOD encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a newod.co.uk account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
