1. Ionaca is committed to promoting and protecting
the right to privacy of individuals accessing
this website. In general, users can access
this website anonymously as Ionaca does not
require that you provide a name or address
to access any area of the site.
2. Our website is hosted on a remote server.
Those servers automatically log information
about visits to our websites in the normal
course of establishing and maintaining web
connections. Server logs record statistical
information such as visitors' IP addresses,
type of operating systems, time of visit,
web pages requested, etc., and identify categories
of visitors by items such as domains and
browser types. Ionaca can access these statistics
in summary form. The statistics are reviewed
and used to improve our website and to ensure
they provide the optimal web experience for
visitors. Accessing this statistical data
does not enable Ionaca to identify users
of the website.
3. In certain circumstances, personal information
may be requested or required from you to
enable us to provide certain services, such
as:-
- Processing purchases;
- Processing bookings and applications to
attend Ionaca events;
- Responding to queries or requests for information;
- Receiving applications for employment.
4. When you are asked to provide personal
information, you are sharing that information
with Ionaca alone unless stated otherwise.
5. Ionaca has chosen to outsource the collection
of financial payments on the website so that
users will have access to Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) technology when transmitting
financial information. SSL encrypts your
personal information to prevent its interception
and decoding by any party other than our
website.
6. When you are required to provide personal
information not related to a financial transaction,
such as when you send an email to the webmaster,
the information will be transmitted to Ionaca
via a non-secure connection. In such circumstances,
Ionaca requests only so much information
as is necessary for Ionaca to provide the
stated service.
7. Once Ionaca receives such information,
the information provided by you will be used
only for the purpose stated at the time of
collection. Where it is necessary to share
any personally identifying information with
a third party, we will seek your consent
before doing so. For example, if you submit
a job application by email, we will ask your
permission before conducting any reference
checks.
8. No data transmission over the Internet
is guaranteed to be secure. As a result,
while Ionaca has taken steps to protect your
personal information, Ionaca cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us, and you do so at your
own risk.
9. For the benefit of users of the website,
Ionaca will provide some links to external
websites it considers to be of interest or
relevance. Ionaca assumes no responsibility
for the information a user is able to access
through our site.
10. Ionaca has taken steps to ensure that
individuals named or featured on this site
have, where appropriate, consented to such
publication by Ionaca. If you are featured
on the website and have any objection, please
contact us.
11. Ionaca reminds all users that a majority
of Internet Service Providers maintain records
of all URL's visited by their customers.
Users should contact their Internet Service
Provider for further details. |
