Information you give us
We receive and store any information you enter on our website. You can choose not to provide certain information but you may not be able to take advantage of some our websites features.
Automatic information
We receive and store certain types of information automatically whenever you interact with our site. Our web server automatically collects and records the following information:
- The visitor's IP address
- The name and release number of the web browser you use
- The name of the operating system you use
- The date and time you accessed the site
- The URL of the website that linked to us
This information does not identify you personally and is used to help us improve our website.
E-mail communications
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from Jem Search. If you do not want to receive e-mail communication please adjust your requirements in the relevant section of the website.
Use and storage of your personal information
We will ensure that all personal data supplied to us via this website is held in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Jem Search does not sell or otherwise transfer personal data to any third parties unless you have consented to this or this is so permitted by law.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and will remove it when the purpose has been met. For safety reasons, however, Jem Search may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member names, times and dates) for a period of six months. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other website services (e.g. competitions), that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly.
We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the website or new website services unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
Personal information that may be used
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on our website or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on our website, Jem Search can use whatever information it has about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school, e-mail / internet provider and / or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
Changes to this privacy policy
If this privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect while using our website, how we use it and under what circumstances.
