Perth College UHI is a privacy-conscious organisation and is strongly committed to your right to privacy. That is why we have drafted a Privacy Policy which follows guidelines set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
There are several ways in which which Perth College UHI collects personally identifiable data, for example:
All personally identifiable information provided to Perth College UHI is processed under the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.
It is Perth College UHI's policy to disclose information only to third parties if explicitly required to do so by United Kingdom Law. We will obtain your consent before passing on any information to any third parties.
We do not collect or compile personally identifying information for dissemination or sale to external parties for marketing purposes or host mailings on behalf of third parties.
Personal Information on the Perth College UHI Website
We maintain and analyse log files of all requests for files on our servers. Aggregated analyses of these log files are used to monitor website usage. They are also made available within Perth College UHI for measuring hits and user paths through the site.
In combination with other information which is not collected by Perth College UHI but which may be collected by suppliers of network services, it may be possible to identify an individual's use of the Perth College UHI website.
We do not collect the additional information required and will make no attempt to track or identify individual users, except where explicit consent for this is given or where there is a reasonable suspicion that unauthorised access to systems is being attempted.
In the case of all users, we reserve the right to attempt to identify and track any individual who is reasonably suspected of trying to gain unauthorised access to computer systems or resources operating as part of our service.
As a condition of use of this site, all users must give permission for Perth College UHI to use its access logs to attempt to track users who are reasonably suspected of attempting to gain unauthorised access.
All log file information collected by Perth College UHI is kept secure and no access to raw log files is given to any third party.
In certain cases, a Perth College UHI participating website may implement a registration scheme which will allow usage to be tracked. Perth College UHI policies do not permit this to be done except in cases where users have given informed consent for this to be done, and offending sites will be removed should we become aware of any breaches of this policy. We will endeavour to ensure that participating organisations have proper data protection procedures in place for the information they make available through their websites.
Use of Cookies
Perth College UHI does not store any information that would on its own allow us to identify individual users of this service without their permission. Any cookies that may be used by Perth College UHI are used either solely on a per session basis or to maintain user preferences. Cookies are not shared with any third parties.
User tracking
Except as stated, Perth College UHI will make no attempt to identify individual users. However, you should be aware that access to web pages will generate log entries on our servers and in the systems of your ISP or network services provider. These entities may be in a position to identify the client computer equipment used to access a page. Such monitoring would be done by the provider of network services and is outwith the responsibility or control of Perth College UHI.
