We are committed to maintaining the privacy of all individuals who use the “Site.” We value your trust and understand that this requires that we be transparent and accountable about how we handle the information you choose to share with us. We do not trade, rent or sell the information of our Site users.
No personal information (which means personally-identifiable information including, without limitation, name, street address, telephone number, screen name and email address) about you is collected from use of this Site unless specifically and clearly requested, and only when you provide it voluntarily. It is Puka Up policy that personal information of the users of our site is private and confidential. In order to prevent unauthorised access and ensure proper use of your personal information, we use appropriate procedures to secure information provided online. Any personal information you provide is stored in a secure location accessible only by designated staff.
PukaUp.com provides you with the opportunity to receive communications from us in the form of newsletters or event information. You can sign up for a free email newsletter. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. Personal information that has been provided by users is only used for the express purpose for which it was collected unless the user specifically agrees to the use of the personal information for additional purposes. For example, if you choose to sign up for newsletters or an event, you are voluntarily providing us with personal information and will be agreeing to our use of that information for those purposes at the time of registering.
Email communications that you send to us via the email links on our Site may be shared with the appropriate Puka Up staff to address your inquiry. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion once communications are received. Once we have responded to your communication, it is discarded or archived, depending on the nature of the inquiry. The email functionality on our site does not provide a completely secure and confidential means of communication. It is possible that your email communication may be accessed or viewed by another internet user while in transit to us. If you wish to keep your communication private, do not use the email function on the site.
Other than what is set out in these Terms of Use personal information will not be shared with any third party unless permitted or required by law.
The web servers we use automatically collect information including but not limited to the internet protocol (IP) address of the computers that access our site, browser type and the pages viewed on the Site. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you access the internet. It is not truly personally identifiable information because many different individuals can access the internet via the same computer. We use this information in aggregate form to understand how our site is used and how we can better serve visitors.
Similar to many websites, the Site uses digital cookies (small pieces of information that are stored on hard drives of your computer, which allow us to “remember” information about your preferences and allow you to move within areas of our site quickly and easily) to gather trend data concerning traffic on the Site for statistical analysis. We also anonymously capture information about how users interact with our site and what pages they visit. This information is used for auditing, tracking and targeted marketing purposes and to improve the Content of the Site. The data we collect is used both collectively and individually for website research to create a better experience for the users of this site. This information may be linked to you or your internet provider address. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Site.
This Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to assist Puka Up to analyze how visitors use the Site and to analyze the information generated by the cookies (which includes your IP address). This information is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google uses the information for the purposes of compiling reports on Site activity for Puka Up, evaluating your use of the Site and providing other services to Puka Up related to internet usage and website activity. By using this Site you agree to the use of Google Analytics. For more information on Google’s privacy policy, please visit their website: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html
All information provided to Puka Up over the Site is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We use password protocols and secure websites to protect personal information transmitted or stored electronically. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the internet is 100 per cent secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information during transmission.
As a user of this Site who has provided personal information to Puka Up, you can have access to your personal information for the purposes of correcting or updating any of your personal information or to delete the personal information you provided on this Site from our records.
