This policy covers the SeeItFirst's use of personal information that the SeeItFirst collects when you use SeeItFirst.co.uk. The policy also gives you information about cookies; SeeItFirst and third parties' use of cookies; and how you may reject such cookies.
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards and SeeItFirst.co.uk membership.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the SeeItFirst and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal informaiton the SeeItFirst will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.
During the course of any visit to SeeItFirst.co.uk, the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For example: if on a previous visit you went to our education pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second and subsequent visits.
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.
Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the SeeItFirst.co.uk features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse SeeItFirst.co.uk anonymously until such time as you wish to register for SeeItFirst.co.uk services. For further information on cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org.
When you supply any personal information to SeeItFirst.co.uk (e.g. for competitions, SeeItFirst.co.uk Community services or SeeItFirst.co.uk membership) we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.
In general, any information you provide to the SeeItFirst will only be used within the SeeItFirst and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to SeeItFirst.co.uk or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on SeeItFirst.co.uk, the SeeItFirst can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of SeeItFirst.co.uk membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a SeeItFirst.co.uk member. For safety reasons, however, the SeeItFirst may store messaging transcript data (including message content, member names, times and dates) arising from the use of SeeItFirst.co.uk Community services such as Connector for a period of six months. Where personal information is held for people who are not yet registered but have taken part in other SeeItFirst.co.uk services (e.g. competitions), that information will be held as long as is necessary to ensure that the service is run smoothly. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
If you are notified on a SeeItFirst.co.uk site that your information may be used to allow the SeeItFirst to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that the SeeItFirst may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on SeeItFirst.co.uk unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information the SeeItFirst holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests.) Please address requests to the Data Protection Officer, Mobius Industries LTD, Studio 2, The Cranewell, 2 Michael Road, London, SW6 2A. UK. Please call (+44)(-0) 020 7731 1202. for more information.
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission
beforehand whenever you provide personal information to the SeeItFirst's website.
Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.
As stated above, SeeItFirst.co.uk does not solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without parental notification. Please review our Children's Privacy Policy, if you have any questions regarding our Policy with respect to children.

SeeItFirst.co.uk may use information provided at registration or information obtained through third parties to offer better targeted products and services to you. We use targeting to customize and enhance your online experience on the site. The use of information provided at registration or obtained through third parties will not be provided to advertisers or partners, except in aggregate form, unless you have consented to such use at registration. We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. Additionally, a user may change or update his or her personal information at any time by visiting the registration area. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity prior to granting access or making corrections.
SeeItFirst.co.uk uses "cookie" technology. Cookies are pieces of electronic information transferred to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow website operators to better customize visits to the site to the user's individual preferences. The use of cookies is standard in the Internet and many major websites use them. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. This gives you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. Even without accepting a cookie, you can still access most of the features on our site. Users should be aware that SeeItFirst.co.uk cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for SeeItFirst.co.uk.
SeeItFirst.co.uk tracks certain general usage pattern information, including what pages people visit and how long they have been registered users, for the purposes of system administration, site tracking and reporting of aggregate usage information to our marketing and product development teams.
From time to time, SeeItFirst.co.uk may solicit your opinion to determine your preferences and dislikes in order to provide you with a better product. These surveys are always optional to the user and your decision not to participate in a survey will not affect your status as an SeeItFirst.co.uk user. Should you choose to participate, any information you give us may be used in aggregate form for marketing purposes, and to enhance your overall experience on our site.
Once again, SeeItFirst.co.uk will not provide any personally identifiable information, other than to its affiliates, about you to advertisers or other partners without your consent. As stated above, SeeItFirst.co.uk may, however, provide advertisers and/or other partners with anonymous aggregated information about our users to illustrate trends and patterns. All third parties with whom we share such information will have independent privacy and data collection practices and SeeItFirst.co.uk has no responsibility or liability for their policies or actions.
We will never give out any information linking your real name to your screen name unless you authorize us to do so, or unless required to do so by law.
SeeItFirst.co.uk has several partners that can offer valuable products and services to our members. From time to time, SeeItFirst.co.uk may give or sell a list from our database of users to these third party vendors. These lists will consist of only those users that have "opted-in" to receiving special offers and promotions during the initial registration process. SeeItFirst.co.uk will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that every marketing offer sent to a SeeItFirst.co.uk user as a result of the provision of such information contains a link for the user to no longer receive such offers.
While SeeItFirst.co.uk is careful in choosing its partners and advertisers, we are only responsible for content on our own site. All third parties associated with SeeItFirst.co.uk (including, but not limited to, advertisers, sponsors and other Internet sites) with whom we share information have independent privacy and data collection practices. SeeItFirst.co.uk does not control this collection of information and is neither responsible nor liable for their independent policies or actions.
You are not required to receive any mailings that you do not wish to receive. During the registration process, you will have the option to sign up to receive newsletters and selected sponsor offers and discounts. You will not receive such information if you do not select such options. If, after you choose to receive such information, you wish to discontinue receiving these items, you may change your subscription preferences by visiting the registration area or by indicating your preference by following the instructions provided within the e-mails received. If a username and password is required to access the feature, you will need to provide such information to update your registration preferences. If you have forgotten your password, you may obtain it by visiting the registration area and requesting it to be sent to you at the e-mail address you originally provided during registration.
SeeItFirst.co.uk has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control. We have put together appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this privacy notice. Inadvertent disclosures may result, for example, when third parties misrepresent their identities and request access to personally identifiable information.
Only those employees needed to carry out the business functions will have access to information on individual SeeItFirst.co.uk users. Employees violating these privacy policies will be subject to disciplinary action.
Whatever a user transmits or discloses online can be collected and used by others or unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. In addition, we may disclose information to law enforcement or other government officials if we determine such disclosure to be appropriate, or if we are compelled to disclose it by court order or operation of law.
Any information voluntarily disclosed by users and posted on our site (on message boards and/or in chat areas) may be viewed and used by others. If users post personal information that is accessible to the public online, the user does so at his or her own risk. Users accept that they may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, SeeItFirst.co.uk has adopted special procedures applicable to personal information from users under the age of 13. It is SeeItFirst.co.uk policy not to solicit any personally identifiable information from these users for our own use without notice to a parent or guardian. Additionally, if SeeItFirst.co.uk determines that a user is under the age of 13, based on the information provided during the registration process, that user either will not be permitted to register or will not be permitted to register without notice to a parent or guardian. The following procedures supersede any conflicting portions of the SeeItFirst.co.uk's general privacy policy with respect to users under the age of 13.
When a user under the age of 13 attempts to register on applicable portions of SeeItFirst.co.uk, the user may either be prohibited from registering for the activity or will be asked to submit his or her first name, e-mail address, and parent's e-mail address. No more information than is reasonably necessary as a precondition for participation in an activity will be requested.
The following applies to activities on SeeItFirst.co.uk where the website operator will need to retain a child's e-mail address for ongoing communication (i.e. Newsletter): When a user under the age of 13 attempts to submit his or her registration information, SeeItFirst.co.uk's system will either prohibit the child from registering or automatically forward notification to the parents, who are given the option to unsubscribe their child from the activity. By following the instructions provided in the notice, the parent or guardian will be given the option to decline the user's registration, or opt-out. In addition, we will send a separate e-mail notification to the user's e-mail address to inform him/her that notice of their activity was e-mailed to their parent's e-mail address, and that the registration will not become valid if the parent or guardian unsubscribes the user from the activity. SeeItFirst.co.uk will not retain any personal information from a user under the age of 13 if a parent unsubscribes their child. If unsubscribed, all information provided to the website by the child will be deleted.
As described in SeeItFirst.co.uk's general privacy policy above, SeeItFirst.co.uk may use cookies to gather information that will be associated with personal information of a user under the age of 13. Cookies allow SeeItFirst.co.uk to better customize visits to the site to match the child's preferences. Under the Children's Privacy Policy, SeeItFirst.co.uk extends the previously listed privacy procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information collected from children.
SeeItFirst.co.uk suggests that you please discuss this statement with your children.
