Sharing Your Information
The Depository may disclose aggregated information that does not include personally identifiable information to third parties (such as its website operator(s), advertising agencies etc.) who assist The Depository in improving the presentation of its offerings to the general public. The Depository will not disclose your personal information to any third party unless:
IP Protocol (IP) Addresses
When you access the Internet using your computer, your Internet Service Provider assigns you an IP Address. Generally, every time you connect to the Internet, your IP Address changes. In some circumstances (i.e. with some broadband connections) your IP Address may not change in which case it can be associated with your particular computer and may therefore amount to personal information. Examples of the type of information that can be collected using your IP Address include your type of Internet Browser and the type of computer operating system you are using. The Depository, or its authorised agents, use your IP Address to collect and report aggregate information on how the website is being used and ways in which the website can be improved.
Web Log Information
Web log information is non-personal information that is collected by the computer that hosts the website (the “Website Server”) when you visit the website, including, but not limited to, the date and time you visited the website, the type of Internet Browser you are using and the type of computer operating system you are using. Web log information may be collected and used by The Depository or its authorised agents in aggregate to assess how the website is being used and how to improve the website.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through the website, certain information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies and navigational data collection. A ‘cookie’ is a bit of information that a web site sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. This website uses ‘session’ cookies. Session cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off.
Session cookies are used to improve navigation on web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This Website collects aggregate statistical information for internal purposes only. This information will only be used internally by The Depository for statistical market data collection. No statistical information will be provided to third parties or outside sources. If you do not want your usage to be tracked in this way please email us info@the-depository.co.uk
This website also uses ‘persistent’ cookies. ‘Persistent’ cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g. login passwords), helping to determine which areas of the website you find most valuable and customising the website based on your preferences.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you visit and use the website and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. The Depository is careful to ensure that the information you voluntarily provide when visiting to and using the website is as secure as possible. Unfortunately no data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Storage
Your personal information is stored on secure servers maintained by The Depository. Information collected from the use of the website, including personal information, may be stored on secure servers located outside the UK in countries whose privacy laws are not as rigorous as those of the UK. However we always take steps to ensure the security of your data. By using the Website, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to countries outside the UK.
Removal of Data
We provide the following options for users to have their personal information removed from our servers, so as to not receive future communications:
Communications by E-mail
Any communication, comments, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, material or other information (collectively, the “Communication”) that you voluntarily post or transmit to The Depository by e-mail is, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary. By transmitting any Communication to The Depository by e-mail, you grant to The Depository and all of its affiliates, an unrestricted, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, modify, transmit, distribute, publish, broadcast or post your communication for any purpose.
Policy Change
The Depository reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify this Policy at any time. Changes to this Policy will be posted on the website.
