Privacy Policy

Privacy notice

Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. Our Privacy Notice covers how we collect, use, transfer and store your information.

 

1. INTRODUCTION

Co-Parent  recognises the importance of protecting the personal information that You (“You”) provide to us. Therefore, We have put together this Privacy Notice, which is based on Our Privacy Policy and Information Security Policies and practices.

 

2. INFORMATION COLLECTION

2.1 Co-Parent  collects information from You at several different points on the Site. Co-Parent  is the sole owner of the information collected on Co-Parent  website (“the Site”). We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

2.2 Consent to collect information must be expressly given (eg. signing an agreement) or concluding an online transaction with us, which requires the collection of Your personal information. For the avoidance of confusion, by completing an online transaction that collects Your personal information You give Us the express consent to collect and process the information connected to that transaction

 

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

In the course of service provision to You We may collect certain forms of information. The types of information that We may collect are detailed below:

3.1 Information You provide – When You register for an account on Co-Parent  by completing the appropriate form, We ask You for personal information (such as Your name, email address and phone number).

We use cookies to improve the quality of Our service by storing User preferences or storing session information. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but You can reset Your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, this is not advised as some features (and indeed Our service itself) may not function correctly if Your cookies are disabled.

3.4 Log information – When You use the Co-Parent  website, Our server automatically records information that Your browser sends whenever You visit Our website. These server logs may include information such as Your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of Your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify Your browser.

3.5 User communications – When You send email or other communication to Co-Parent , We may retain those communications in order to process Your enquiries, respond to Your requests and improve Our services.

3.6 Links – Co-Parent  may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed and who followed them, either on the website or in electronic communications. We use this information to improve the quality of Our service, customized content and advertising.

3.7 Other sites – This Privacy Notice only applies to Co-Parent. We do not exercise control over any third party sites who We have partnered with to deliver a service to You. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on Your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from You, over which Co-Parent  has no control.
