Who We Are

 

At takingaction.online, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that takingaction.online is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes.

 

In this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided detailed information on when and why we collect personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others, and how we keep it secure.

 

We take your privacy seriously and take measures to provide all visitors and users of takingaction.online with a safe and secure environment.

 

Cookies

 

takingaction.online may set and access takingaction.online cookies on your computer.  Cookies are used to provide our system with the basic information to provide the services you are requesting.  

 

Cookies can be cleared at any time from your internet browser settings.

 

Google Analytics

 

When someone visits takingaction.online we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns.

 

We do this to track things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site and interactions with the site. This information is processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of visitors to our website.

 
Promotions

 

Some promotions are powered by a user engagement tool which locks in individual promotions to each individual. This means the promotion is activated based on your click, giving everyone an equal chance to get the promotion while keeping the promotion 100% true and honest. This means everyone gets a fair chance at seeing a limited promotion. 

 

Website Comments

 

When someone visits takingaction.online, there may be an ability to submit comments on particular articles or pages.  When comments are submitted, you are entitled to use aliases or information that completely hides your identity. When a comment is submitted, the relevant details (name, email, website) that you provide are stored.  

 

These details are stored so that we can display your comment back to you, and to anyone viewing the comment sections on the site. We do not verify information entered nor do we require verification.

 

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

 

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

 

Mailing Lists

 

As part of the registration process for our e-newsletter, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied.

 

We do not rent or trade email lists with other organisations, businesses or individuals.

 

We use a third-party provider, GetResponse to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see GetResponse privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails.

We may make changes to our Privacy Policy in the future, however, the most current version of the policy will govern our processing of your personal data and will always be available on this page.
