Privacy
Philosophy
Cognisant believes that electronic privacy is crucial to the ongoing
success of the Internet as a service, whether as a commercial or an
entertainment medium. Our policy is to keep the personal information
we receive from our sites completely confidential, and use it solely
for internal purposes. We will not share your personal information with
any other parties.
Please revisit our Privacy Policy from time to time to be sure that
you are familiar with our current policy. Your continued use of Cognisant
following any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be viewed as
representing your acceptance of such changes.
Cognisant will not disclose any individually identifiable information
about its users to any third party.
Information
Collected
When you register
with Cognisant, our registration form requires you to give us your name,
country, zip code, and email address ("Registration Data").
Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. Generally,
this information is collected through "traffic data" and may
entail the use of "Cookies", "IP addresses" or other
numeric codes used to identify a computer.
Use of Personal
Information
Cognisant 's
primary goal in collecting personal information is to deliver a customized
and personalized service to users. Cognisant also uses the personal
information it collects to send users e-mail notifications of new features
or services available through Cognisant, and other information that
Cognisant feels might be of interest to it's users. In order to provide
our users with a more personalized, relevant and intelligent service,
Cognisant regularly makes improvements to the Cognisant site. The collection
of personal data greatly assists Cognisant in this improvement process
by identifying the specific interests and needs of the many users of
the Cognisant.
Because we collect information on our Website for various reasons, we
have outlined what information we collect and what we do with it in
the following sections:
Registration
and/or Request Forms
Our site contains
registration and/or request forms that require users to give us contact
information (such as their name and e-mail address). We use customer
contact information from the registration and request forms to send
you information about our services and to contact you when necessary.
Sharing Information
Except as set
forth in the Terms of Use, Cognisant will not disclose personal data
about you to any third parties without first receiving your permission.
No personally identifiable data or information will be shared with advertisers
or partners. Some of your information may be shared on an aggregate
basis only, as a part of a larger set of statistics (for example, statistics
that indicate the percentage of our members that are female), but that
information will not be sufficient to permit the recipient to identify
you.
Children
Cognisant does
not intentionally collect or maintain information through cognisant.ltd.uk
from individuals actually known to be under the age of 13 ("children").
Moreover, at present, no part of cognisant.ltd.uk is designed specifically
to target or attract any children. Children should always ask a parent
for permission before sending personal information to cognisant.ltd.uk
Cookies
Cognisant makes
use of a technology called cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information
that are stored by your web browser software on your computer's hard
drive or temporarily in your computer's memory. The use of cookies is
now an industry standard, and users will find them on most major websites.
Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of any
user. Cognisant will only store information that adds to your browsing
experience. This information is not personally identifiable. If for
some reason you would rather not take advantage of the benefits made
possible with cookies, most Web browsers allow you to reject cookies
or to choose which cookies to accept. Check your browser's documentation
and help files, or contact your browser vendor, for more information
about its cookie features.
IP Addresses
and Cookies
We use your
computer's IP (Internet Protocol) address to help diagnose problems
with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is used
to help identify you and your time spent at our sites, and to gather
broad demographic information. This allows us to see which parts of
our sites users are visiting. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. This means, for instance, that a user's session
will be tracked, but the user will remain anonymous.
Other Sites
Cognisant contain
links to other sites outside the Cognisant domains. Cognisant is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites.
Additionally, if you make a purchase from a store or merchant listed
on or linked to cognisant.ltd.uk , any information that you give, such
as your credit card number and contact information, is provided to those
merchants. These merchants have separate privacy and data collection
practices and Cognisant has no responsibility or liability for these
independent policies.
Public Forums
Some areas of
our site are used to make certain calendars and events that are open
to our customers, and in some cases, the public. Please remember that
any information that you disclose in these areas becomes public information;
you should exercise caution when deciding whether to disclose your personal
information.
Security
This site has
security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under our control. When a user submits personal information,
it is stored in secure operating environments that are not available
to the public. This prevents any malicious use of your information.
All financial information that is submitted to our site is encrypted
and is stored on private servers that are not accessible to the public.
Further, users can select to transmit order information over a secure
