PRIVACY POLICY

HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor believes in protecting your privacy and takes active steps to do so. Any personal information you post on the Site will be used in accordance with the below privacy policy, which is fully in accordance with the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) regulations. Handsam Ltd is licensed as a data holder by the ICO, no: Z2514353.

We understand that providing information online involves a great deal of trust on your part. We take this trust very seriously, and make it a high priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide to us. Before submitting your personal information to our Web site, please read this Policy carefully to learn about our privacy practices.

 

What information we collect from you:

In General

Handsam Ltd abides strictly by all ICO policies and procedures. We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or give us in any other way. This includes information that can identify you ("personal information"), including your first and last name, telephone number, postal and e-mail addresses, user name and password. You can choose not to provide information to us by not signing up or not completing non-mandatory fields in your User Profile page in the MY ACCOUNT section, but in general some information about you is required in order for you to enjoy the benefits of being a registered member. For example, only registered members are able to post school trip reviews, access members-only newsletters and travel planning content, and respond to surveys.

 

Information from Other Sources

We also may periodically obtain both personal and non-personal information about you from affiliated entities, business partners and other independent third-party sources and add it to other information about you. For example, if you visit HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor by "clicking-through" from a site operated by one of our business partners, and you have registered with that partner, then information about you that you have provided to that partner may be shared with us, such as information and demographic information. As another example, if you access third party services, such as social media services, through our Website or before coming to our Website, we may collect information such as your user name, password, and other information made available to us through those services in order to improve and personalise your use of our Website. Specifically you can sign up for HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor.org.uk using your Twitter or Facebook accounts. In order for this to be able to take place the information has to be passed to us by the social media service concerned.

 

Automatic Collection of Information.

We automatically collect some information about your computer when you visit HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor. For example, we will collect session data, including your IP address, Web browser software, and referring Web site. We also may collect information about your online activity, such as content viewed and pages visited. One of our goals in collecting this automatic information is to help us understand the interests of our users and customize your user experience.

 

Cookies and Other Web Technologies.

Cookies are small data text files and can be stored on your computer’s hard drive (if your Web browser permits). SchoolTripsAdvisor.com and its affiliated websites use cookies for the following general purposes:

  • To help us recognize your browser as a previous visitor and save and remember any preferences that may have been set while your browser was visiting our site. For example, if you register on our site, we may use cookies to remember your registration information, so you do not need to log into our site each time you visit. We also may record your password in a cookie, if you checked the box entitled "Keep me signed in on this computer unless I sign out.” Please note that member IDs, passwords, and any other account-related data included in such cookies are encrypted for security purposes.
  • To help us customize the content, website experience, and advertisements provided to you on our websites and on other websites across the Internet. For example, when you access a web page, a cookie is automatically set by us, our service providers, or our partners to recognize your browser as you navigate on the Internet and to present you with information and advertising based on your apparent interests. 
  • To help measure and research the effectiveness of website features and offerings, advertisements, and e-mail communications (by determining which e-mails you open and act upon).

Our Website uses cookies to make your site experience as smooth, reliable and as useful to you as possible. By signing up to an account you are agreeing to the placing and updating of cookies on all devices you choose to access this site from.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers should tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable non-essential types of cookies. Please note that if you refuse to accept cookies, you may not be able to access many of the tools offered on our Websites.

Our Websites also may use Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or Web bugs), which are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, that are placed in the code of a Web page. We use Web beacons to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our sites to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party Web site, and to improve site performance. We also may allow our service providers to use Web beacons to help us understand which emails have been opened by recipients and to track the visitor traffic and actions on our site. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our content and other offerings.

 

Display of Advertising/Your Choices

Data collected to serve you with relevant advertising

HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor is committed to providing you with relevant content and information across our sites. To do this, we may collect information about your travel-related searches, such as whether you are looking for particular venue types, activities or subjects, and use this information to serve you with ads on our sites or elsewhere online that match your interests. 

We do not share your personal contact information (such as email addresses) with unaffiliated third parties in order for them to serve you with advertisements. 

 

Data collected by business partners and ad networks to serve you with relevant advertising

Many of the advertisements you see on HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor are served by HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor or its service providers. But we also allow third parties to collect information about your online activities through cookies and other technologies. These third parties include (1) business partners, who collect information when you view or interact with one of their advertisements on our sites, and (2) advertising networks, who collect information about your interests when you view or interact with one of the advertisements they place on many different Web sites on the Internet. The information gathered by these third parties is used to make predictions about your characteristics, interests or preferences and to display advertisements on our sites and across the Internet tailored to your interests.

We do not permit these third parties to collect personal contact information about you (such as email address) on our site, nor do we share with them any personal information about you. It is up to you to contact them if you wish to engage with a third party provider or venue of any kind.

Please note that we do not have access to or control over cookies or other technologies these third parties may use to collect information about your interests, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

 

Information About Your Location

When you use a HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor application (the "Application") on a mobile phone or tablet device ("Device"), we will collect and use information about you in broadly the same way and for substantially similar purposes as when you use a HandsamSchoolTripsAdvisor website. In addition, we may collect information about your location, if you have instructed your Device to send such information to the Application, via the privacy settings on that Device, or if you have uploaded photos tagged with location information. We will use the location information collected from your Device or photos to enhance your use of the Application. For example, we may use your location to show you reviews of listed venues or providers near you. You can change the privacy settings of your Device at any time, in order to turn off the functionality to share location information with the Application and/or the functionality to tag your photos with location information. If you have any queries about the privacy settings of your Device, we suggest you contact the manufacturer of your Device or your mobile service provider for help.
