Privacy Policy
Information Collection
Corporation Pop Ltd is the sole owner of the information collected on the Corporation Pop website. We collect information from our users at several different points on our website. These are:
i) in the ‘news’ section if you wish to leave a comment
ii) on the ‘subscribe to newsletter’ sign-up page
iii) when you apply for access to our ‘Virtual World Demonstrator’ avatar registration page
iv) when you register an avatar on our ‘Virtual World Demonstrator’ page
Leaving a comment in the ‘News’ section
We request information from you on the comment form. You must provide contact information (name and email address). It is optional to provide a link to your own website.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask only for name and email address. Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link so that these details can be removed from our servers at any time by you.
Access to Virtual World Demonstrator
To gain access to the Virtual World Demonstrator area we request name, company name, email address, telephone number and a brief description of intended use. This is so that we can verify that access is only granted to those with a bona fide business interest. There is also an option to subscribe to our newsletter (see above).
Registering an avatar
When you register an avatar on our Virtual World Demonstrator page you are requested to enter a username of your choice and password of your choice. We do not store this information but it is stored on Linden Labs servers. Please refer to their Privacy Policy for details which can be found here. These details can be accessed and modified via your account page on the Second Life website after your account has been created.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Cookies are not linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. We use session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. These can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Communications from the Site
If you have registered your details in any of the above areas (except the comments form in the ‘news’ section) you may from time to time receive email communications from us. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may opt-out of these communications.
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and about issues relating to their account. We reply via email or phone.
Sharing
Corporation Pop does not pass on or sell information about our customers to any other business or organisation. The only exception to this is where we are legally obliged to do so to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Business Transitions
In the event Corporation Pop Ltd goes through a business transition users will be notified via a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used differently from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to the email with unsubscribe in the subject line or by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the base. Alternatively call +44 (0)161 228 7772 or write to Corporation Pop Ltd, 22 Lever Street, Manchester M1 1EA.
Links
Our website contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Protection of data
Our website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and off-line. All our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment based in the UK.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
