Information collected on the Web site

ivantage does not collect any personal information from users browsing our Web site other than through registration, subscription and enquiry forms where the information is given voluntarily. We do analyze our Web site logs to collect aggregate data – such as the number of visitors – and use this data to improve the value of the materials available on our Web site. This data is used for internal business purposes only.

Our Web site logs do not keep sufficient detail for us to be able to identify individuals, and we make no attempt to link them with the individuals that actually browse the site.

We use “cookies” to recognize returning visitors and to track content usage and Web-site traffic. Where a visitor has not completed a registration, subscription or enquiry form, cookies do not collect personal data. Only when you have registered can a "cookie" tell us the personal information which you have previously left with us. You can set your browser not to accept "cookies" but, if so, there may be areas of our web sites which you cannot view.

Some areas of our Web site, particularly those relevant to Partners and Client Support are password protected, and require that you are a licensed user of ivantage-supplied software or have registered as a member of a programme (for example, as an ivantage partner). In other select areas, which can include product demonstrations, product trials, newsletters or other offers, we may request that you provide us with particular information before accessing that area.

We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our list to anyone.

Restricting particular channels of contact

If you have supplied us with contact details of a particular type (for example, postal address, phone number or e-mail) we may use those details to contact you with information about products or services, or forthcoming events. If you do not want to be contacted by us via one or more of those channels, please contact us and tell us which ones we should not use. They are:
