PMP's data collection policy allows you to choose whether to give us your address details and to control how we use that information. We aim to allow you to control your privacy and give you the means to raise any questions or concerns you may have.

This statement discloses the privacy policy for the PMP controlled sites under www.pmp.co.uk

The policy does not extend to sites that are linked to PMP sites and which are not controlled by PMP. There is a single registration for all PMP-controlled sites.

The Policy
It is PMP's policy to allow our site users to provide as much or as little information to us as they feel comfortable doing, depending on the level of information you require from the site. As a user of the PMP site you:
(a) control whether you want to submit your personal details
(b) control what PMP can do with your personal details
(c) have our assurances of privacy.

Information collected from site users
If you use the PMP site, certain information is automatically collected so that delivery can be made of the service.

When you request a page from the site's web server, the server automatically collects some information about your system, including your IP address. PMP collects the minimum information necessary to make the service work - this information is essential to send the pages back across the Internet to the right computer. PMP uses "WebTrends Log Analyser" to analyse traffic to the PMP site. WebTrends Log Analyser does not create individual profiles for visitors as WebTrends Log Analyser only collects aggregate data. For more information about the WebTrends Log Analyser privacy policy, please visit www.webtrends.com.

Registration
We will ask you to register in order to gain full access the sites'content. You can also register to receive notification of the latest issues of our publications, attend conferences, view webcasts, and receive other services from PMP. This will require you to provide personal information such as your name, email address, home or work postcodes. This information is mandatory and is required by PMP to supply a reasonable level of services to users and our IT clients. Upon registration, you will be asked to choose a password for future access to the site and to review the information we hold on you.

Use of Information
You will only receive additional relevant information from specially selected clients of PMP if you indicate your consent as described below. PMP will either email you the additional relevant information on behalf of PMP clients or use the services of a recognised data bureau, acting on behalf of PMP to enable you to receive this information. PMP may, however, make anonymous use of information to help diagnose faults, manage the system and gather broad demographic information about our users in general. This information will be stripped of all details that could identify you personally. For example, we may use IP addresses to help fix performance problems with our server. We may also combine demographic information supplied by you or your system with other statistical data to provide profiles, in aggregate form, about users and their preferences. We may share this composite information with our clients to help them better understand the market.

Opt-In Features
As a PMP site user you have complete control over what information you may receive and sign-up for. You will only receive additional relevant information from specially selected clients of PMP if you indicate your consent by either requesting such information or by subscribing to a specific client-related service or product. If you download any content from PMP sites, we will deem this as an opt-in.

Correcting and Updating
At all times a user of the PMP site has control over the accuracy of the personally identifiable information that the user provides to PMP. If you wish to correct or update the personal information you have provided to PMP, simply access the registration process with your email address and password, then opt to view your personal details and you will be able to change them.

Opt-Out Features
As a PMP site user you have complete control over what information you may receive and sign-up for. You can elect not to receive additional relevant information from specially selected clients of PMP by checking the "opt-out" box on the site.

Unsubscribe
We will also remove you from the list of site users and stop sending you emails/publications/invitations or 3rd party emails upon request. This process is known as unsubscribing and can be carried out by returning any unwanted emails with the comment "Unsubscribe". Alternatively simply contact Sheila Osmond (info@pmp.co.uk )

General disclaimers
PMP is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of web sites linked to this site, however we'd like to know if you find anything objectionable about them. PMP uses all reasonable precautions to keep the personal information disclosed to it secure, and will disclose such information only to a recognised data bureau, acting on behalf of PMP.

PMP reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time by posting changes online. It is your responsibility to refer to this privacy policy on accessing this site.
