Vipingo Development PLC - Privacy policy


General

The Vipingo Development PLC (hereinafter; Vipingo Development) Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that you may provide via the Vipingo Development PLC website and social media pages. Whenever you use this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Ways that Vipingo Development PLC collects information

Some areas of the site require you to actively submit information in order for you to benefit from specific features (such as the range of online services). You will be informed at each information collection point what information is required and what information is optional.

Some of this information may be personal (information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, email address, phone number etc).

Vipingo Development PLC only collects such information when you choose to supply it to them.

Information is also gathered without you actively providing it, through the use of various technologies and methods such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies. These methods do not collect or store personal information.

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can access the internet. It is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer).

Vipingo Development PLC uses your IP address to diagnose problems with their server, report aggregate information, and determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to the site, and to administer and improve the site.

Page tagging

Vipingo Development PLC uses JavaScript page tags to aggregate and analyse customer usage patterns on the website. This provides Vipingo Development PLC with data on your site usage and behaviour. Vipingo Development PLC uses this information to make changes to the layout of the website and to the information in it. This process does not collect any personal or identifiable information about users. You can disable JavaScript on your computer, however disabling JavaScript may affect your ability to access some Vipingo Development PLC online tools and services.

Sometimes Vipingo Development PLC tags pages on sites used to promote various campaigns. These tags are provided by the advertising management partner, DoubleClick. These tags enable DoubleClick to recognise a unique cookie on your browser, which in turn enables Vipingo Development PLC to learn which advertisements bring users to the website. The cookie was placed by Vipingo Development, or by another advertiser who works with DoubleClick. With this technology, the information that Vipingo Development PLC collects and shares is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. There is more information about DoubleClick - including information about how to opt out of these technologies - on their website.
