Sophus' Privacy Policy for
the collection of information from our own website
Please read the important
information below about our policy in dealing with your personal
information. If you access the Sophus site you will be deemed to have
accepted the Privacy Policy and our use of your personal information in
accordance with its terms. This Privacy Policy is effective as of 1st
January 2006.
What we do
Sophus provides its clients
with multiple solutions that interact with their websites and help them
with their marketing. Sophus eMetrics analyzes the behaviour of visitors
to the website.
Sophus is committed to
protecting the privacy of users of its website. In relation to any
information we collect about you, we (or any other third party to whom we
may outsource the hosting or operation of the Sophus website) will comply
with the standard required by the European Directive on the protection of
individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free
movement of such data (95/46/EC) and any applicable local legal
requirements regarding data privacy in the territories in which we operate
("applicable data privacy law").
This policy only applies to
the Sophus websites hosted at and comprising part of the Sophus service
and not to the companies, individuals, organizations or other websites to
which there are links.
How do we collect information about
you and how is it used?
You may provide personal
information when communicating with us such as your name, home and/or
business address, email address and telephone number.
We will collect information
about your tastes and preferences both when you tell us what these are and
by analysis of customer traffic, including by using cookies (click
here for more information about cookies).
We may use personal
information collected about you to personalize your visits to our website.
We also use the information to help us develop the design and layout of
our website to ensure that our site is as user-friendly as possible.
We may use personal
information collected about you to let you know about functionality
changes to our website or changes to our terms and conditions of use.
Other Disclosures
Sophus reserves the right to
access and disclose the personal information we have collected on you to
comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests, to operate its
systems properly or to protect itself or its users.
How do we protect your information?
For the purposes of data
privacy, Sophus is the data controller of the personal information
processed in relation to the Sophus website.
We take great care to
protect the data that we collect.
When you provide us with
your personal information, (for example, via the "Contact Us" section of
the website), Sophus offers the use of a secure server. The secure server
software encrypts the information that you input before it is transmitted
to us. In addition, we have strict security procedures covering the
storage and disclosure of your information in order to prevent
unauthorized access and to comply with applicable data privacy law. This
means that sometimes we may ask you for proof of identity before
disclosing any personal information to you.
Your Rights
You have the right to object
at any time to the use of your personal data by Sophus in connection with
this website, although this may prevent you from receiving the useful
information with which we can provide you in relation to the services we
offer. However, your personal data will continue to be used by us for the
purposes of maintaining an audit trail. You also have the right to access
the information held about you by us and to have this information amended
if incorrect. You are entitled to receive a copy of this Privacy Policy.
Machine-readable privacy policy
Sophus uses the World Wide
Web Commission standard P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) to
describe how we process data. If you use a P3P enabled browser, for
example Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, then it will read the P3P policy
and use it to help decide whether to accept or reject the Sophus cookie.
The P3P policy contains the
same information as the human readable policy that you are reading, but in
a compact form that allows it to be sent with each request without using
up excessive bandwidth. You can learn more about P3P on the
W3C website.

This Privacy Policy may be

so that you are aware of the information we collect, how we use it and
under what circumstances we may disclose it. We will also provide a notice
