SWIEET2007.org.uk Statement of Privacy

At The South Wales Institute of Engineers, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure online experience. You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete SWIEET2007.org.uk privacy statement.

Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining a limited-access premium site, or when purchasing and registering The South Wales Institute of Engineers products. Personal information collected by SWIEET2007.org.uk often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we keep this registration information on file with any information you’ve already given us on previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal profile.

Use of your Personal Information

We use your personal information for four primary purposes:

To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
To help you quickly find software, services or information on SWIEET2007.org.uk
To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from The South Wales Institute of Engineers.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

The South Wales Institute of Engineers will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on The South Wales Institute of Engineers or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of The South Wales Institute of Engineers and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of The South Wales Institute of Engineers, its Web sites, or the public.
