Privacy
Policy
This privacy statement applies
specifically to the Website and member communications facilities of Chester
Students’ Union (CSU).
The facilities contain public
areas which may be viewed from any Internet connected PC/MAC. Other areas are
restricted to access by members of CSU. It’s important to CSU that it’s members
and customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all that the
Union and its services have to offer.
Your privacy is important to us.
We therefore operate on the basis of a number of principles:
Principle 1
The information you give us in
registering your membership of CSU, will be stored securely. If any of the
information you have given us changes at any time, you can directly change this
record yourself by clicking the ‘my profile’ button on the top right box on
your page, after you are logged in. You
can set your own preferences for information receipt and can change these at
any time. Thus for example, should you choose not to ‘opt-in’ for news of ‘Shopping’,
no specific communications on that subject will be sent to you.
Principle 2
CSU will use this information to
communicate with you by e-mail, or by text message, to improve our website and
to personalise our service to you. For
example we may provide you with newsletters, activity information, advice,
recommendations or advertisements for goods or services that we think will
interest you, according to the preferences you have determined. We will also use the information for our own
internal membership administration and analysis.
Principle 3
We will not however disclose,
sell, rent or otherwise exchange any information personal to you to any third
party without your prior express approval. The only exceptions to this shall be
in order to comply with our legal obligations, to enforce the terms and
conditions of use of our web-site or to protect and defend the rights and
interests of property of CSU, the College, or other member.
Principle 4
CSU will not store in or transfer
your personal data to Countries outside the UK.
Principle 5
By disclosing information about
you to us on our website or in any other way, you consent to the use of that
information in the manner set out in this policy.
