The following statement explains our
policy regarding the personal information we collect about you.
1. Introduction
This policy covers the RoomMatePosition.com use of personal
information that the RoomMatePosition.com collects when you use
RoomMatePosition.com. The policy also gives you information about
cookies; RoomMatePosition.com 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 could include
newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards and
RoomMatePosition.com contact forms.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the
RoomMatePosition.com 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 information the

legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.
2. Visitor
Information
During the course of any visit to RoomMatePosition.com, 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.
The RoomMatePosition.com uses this type of information, as with
that obtained from other cookies used on the site, to help it
improve the services to its users.
3. What is a
cookie?
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 and
accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of
the RoomMatePosition.com 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 RoomMatePosition.com anonymously until such time as you wish
to register for RoomMatePosition.com services. For further
information on cookies please visit http://www.aboutcookies.org

4.Use and
storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information to RoomMatePosition.com
(e.g. for competitions, RoomMatePosition.com Community services or
RoomMatePosition.com 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 web pages 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 RoomMatePosition.com
will only be used within the RoomMatePosition.com and by its
service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are
obliged or permitted by law.
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
RoomMatePosition.com membership you no longer wish to continue your
registration as a RoomMatePosition.com member. For safety reasons,
however, the RoomMatePosition.com may store messaging transcript
data (including message content, names, times and dates) arising
from the use of RoomMatePosition.com for a period of six months.
Where personal information is held for people who are not yet
registered but have taken part in other RoomMatePosition.com
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 RoomMatePosition.com site that your
information may be used to allow the RoomMatePosition.com to
contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that
the RoomMatePosition.com 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 RoomMatePosition.com
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.
