Data collected

5.1 Active information collection:

This Website collects information from its visitors in two ways: actively and passively. Active information collection refers to instances in which we gather information from you when you fill it in and send it to us, such as by completing a registration form, signing up for an electronic newsletter, or sending us a message via an e-mail reply mechanism provided by this site. Active information collection can include both personally identifiable information (e.g. your full name or information that is unique to you) and non-personally identifiable information (e.g. if we were to ask for your first name and a list of the top three things you like about our site). Passive information collection refers to instances in which we collect information from you that you have not actively provided (please see the next section of this policy for a summary of our passive information collection practices).

(a) Registration Information:

If you are interested in receiving electronic updates, alerts, and other information from us regarding this Website and our products and services, you must provide us with an e-mail address. In completing your registration, we may also ask for optional information, such as how you found us, to help us better serve you in the future.

(b) Feedback Information:

We welcome your comments and feedback regarding this Website and our products, services and programs. This Website provides an e-mail address that permits you to send us your own e-mail address, comments, and any other information you choose to include. E-mail is not secure. As a result, you should carefully consider what information you wish to send to us via e-mail.

5.2 Passive information collection:

We may use third party software to passively collect information while you are visiting www.socialpantry.co.uk (that is, you do not actively provide this information). These technologies allow us to collect certain kinds of non-personally identifiable information, including your internet domain name, the type of web browser you use, the operating system you use, the date and time of your visit to the Website, the specific pages you visit, and the address of the web site you visited prior to entering www.socialpantry.co.uk. We do not link this passively collected non-personally identifiable information with personally identifiable information you have actively provided elsewhere on this site. This data is used only to help us improve our customers’ experience on our website and we reserve the right to share with third parties, including our business partners and advertisers, the anonymous aggregated information that we have passively collected via this site.

Below we have summarized the primary means of passive information collection on our Website.

(a) Cookies:

This site uses cookies, which are small text files that store non-personally identifiable information about you, either temporarily in connection with your Internet Protocol (IP) address (known as a temporary or session cookie and deleted once you close your browser window) or more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known as a permanent or persistent cookie). This Website uses session cookies so that you do not have to fill in the same information from page-to-page within www.socialpantry.co.uk. If you elect not to receive cookies, you may be able to view some, but not all, of the content on this Website.

(b) Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses:

This site uses Internet protocol (IP) addresses. IP addresses are unique identifiers automatically assigned to each computer when logging onto the Internet. IP addresses allow us to collect much of the same information we collect through cookies, including browser type, what pages you visit, and how long you stay on the site. In general, IP addresses allow us to identify problems with our servers, prepare aggregate demographic information and other information regarding this use of this site, and improve the functions of this site.

5.3 This site is not intended for use by children:

This site is not directed to and does not seek to collect personally identifiable information from, children under the age of 13. Nevertheless, if we are informed that we have collected information from someone in this age category, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
