1. Privacy General
This policy explains what information we gather when you visit Consult4Content
central web site, and explains how that information is used.
It is important for you to appreciate that the central
web site provides extensive links to other independent sites, both within
Consult4Content and elsewhere. This policy applies only to direct accesses to
the central web site - URLs starting http://www.Consult4Content.com/. You will
need to consult the appropriate information on other sites for information on
their policies.
Any changes to this privacy policy will be posted
on this page. It was last updated on 7th April 2008.
Data collected
In common with most web sites, this site
automatically logs certain information about every request made of it (see
below for more details). This information is used for system administration,
for bug tracking, and for producing usage statistics. The logged information
may be kept indefinitely.
Relevant subsets of this data may be passed to
computer security teams as part of investigations of computer misuse involving
this site or other computing equipment in Consult4Content. Data may be
passed to the administrators of other computer systems to enable investigation
of problems accessing this site or of system misconfigurations. Data may
incidentally be included in information passed to contractors and computer
maintenance organizations working for Consult4Content, in which case it will be
covered by appropriate non-disclosure agreements. Otherwise the logged
information is not passed to any third party except if required by law. Summary
statistics are extracted from this data and some of these may be made publicly
available, but those that are do not include information from which individuals
could be identified.
[It should appreciated that a log is a record
of what a server sees, not necessarily what was initially sent. If a request is
sent via a proxy the log file will show the proxy's address. If someone has
forged your address the log file will show your address]
A number of fill-in forms are provided on this site. The pages containing
these forms include information on how data submitted on them will be processed
and used. This site may use web "cookies" as part of user
authentication (login) and to store information needed by other facilities.
Logged data
The following data is automatically logged for each request:
·The
name or network address of the computer making the request. Note that under
some (but not all) circumstances it may be possible to infer from this the
identity of the person making the request. Note also that the data recorded may
be that of a web proxy rather than that of the originating client
·The
username, when known during authenticated (logged in) access to the site
·The
date and time of connection
·The
HTTP request, which contains the identification of the document requested
·The
status code of the request (success or failure etc.)
·The
number of data bytes sent in response
·The
contents of the HTTP Referrer header supplied by the browser
·The
content of the HTTP User-Agent header supplied by the browser
Logging of additional data may be enabled
temporarily from time to time for specific purposes. In addition, the computers
on which the web site is hosted keep records of attempts (authorized and
unauthorized) to use them for purposes other than access to the web server.
This data typically includes the date and time of the attempt, the service to
which access was attempted, the name or network address of the computer making
the connection, and may include details of what was done or was attempted to be
done.
2. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
