Something Social Digital Marketing (Pty) Ltd
With permission, Something Social collects and processes your personal information such as your email address, name, address or phone number. We collect information directly from you where you provide us with your details. Where possible, we will inform you what information you are required to provide to us and what information is optional. Website usage information may be collected using “cookies” which allows us to collect standard internet visitor usage information. Something Social also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Something Social. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by Something Social for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Something Social site. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Something Social public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Something Social does not read any of your private online communications.
Something Social encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Something Social so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Something Social is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Something Social and Something Social family of Web sites.
We will use your personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected and agreed with you. In addition, where necessary your information may be retained for legal or research purposes. This information is used for, but not limited to, email marketing purposes; to gather contact information; for service delivery; to confirm and verify your identity or that you are an authorised user for security purposes; for the detection and prevention of fraud, crime, money laundering or other malpractice; to conduct market or customer satisfaction research or for statistical analysis; for audit and record-keeping purposes; and in connection with legal proceedings.
Something Social does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Something Social may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Something Social may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Something Social, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Something Social does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent. Something Social keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Something Social, to determine what Something Social services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Something Social to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Something Social Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Something Social or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Something Social; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Something Social, or the public.
The Something Social Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Something Social pages, or register with Something Social site or services, a cookie helps Something Social to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Something Social Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Something Social features that you customized.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Something Social services or Web sites you visit.
