As a vis­i­tor, you do not have to sub­mit any per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion in order to use the Cen­taur Trust web­site. Per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion is not col­lect­ed via the Cen­taur Trust site unless it is specif­i­cal­ly and vol­un­tar­i­ly pro­vid­ed by vis­i­tors. Such lim­it­ed iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion includes among oth­ers, the name, title, com­pa­ny address, email address, and tele­phone and fax num­bers, from site visitors.

As a gen­er­al rule, sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion (e.g., data relat­ing to race or eth­nic ori­gin, reli­gious beliefs, crim­i­nal record, phys­i­cal or men­tal health, or sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion) is not col­lect­ed from vis­i­tors to the Cen­taur Trust site. We will, where nec­es­sary, obtain vis­i­tors’ explic­it con­sent to col­lect and use such information.

Vis­i­tors are also able to send emails through the web­site. Their mes­sages will con­tain the user’s screen name and email address, as well as any addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion the user may wish to include in the mes­sage. Because we use the site as a recruit­ing tool, a vis­it to the site may also result in the user send­ing a resume or pro­vide addi­tion­al per­son­al data for recruit­ing pur­pos­es. How­ev­er, please note that it is not the inten­tion of Cen­taur Trust to seek any sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion through our site unless legal­ly required for recruit­ing pur­pos­es. Sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion includes a num­ber of types of data relat­ing to: race or eth­nic ori­gin, polit­i­cal opin­ions, reli­gious or oth­er sim­i­lar beliefs, trade union mem­ber­ship, phys­i­cal or men­tal health, sex­u­al pref­er­ences or crim­i­nal record. We sug­gest that you do not pro­vide sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion of this nature. If you do wish to pro­vide sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion for any rea­son, Cen­taur Trust accepts your explic­it con­sent to use that infor­ma­tion in the ways described in this pri­va­cy state­ment or as described at the point where you choose to dis­close this information.

Infor­ma­tion obtained by the web­site is used only for the intend­ed pur­pose stat­ed at the time that the infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed. This data is not shared with any third par­ties, unless oth­er­wise dis­closed at the point of col­lec­tion. If there is an instance where such infor­ma­tion may be shared, the vis­i­tor will be asked for per­mis­sion beforehand.

You may at any time request to be removed from emails or oth­er com­mu­ni­ca­tions gen­er­at­ed in response to your reg­is­tra­tion on the Cen­taur Trust website.

Cen­taur Trust has rea­son­able secu­ri­ty poli­cies and pro­ce­dures in place to pro­tect per­son­al infor­ma­tion from unau­tho­rized loss, mis­use, alter­ation, or destruc­tion. Despite Cen­taur Trust’s best efforts, how­ev­er, secu­ri­ty can­not be absolute­ly guar­an­teed against all threats. To the best of our abil­i­ty, access to your per­son­al infor­ma­tion is lim­it­ed to those who have a need to know. Only autho­rised Cen­taur Trust per­son­nel are pro­vid­ed access to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fi­able infor­ma­tion and these employ­ees have agreed to pro­tect the con­fi­den­tial­i­ty of this information.

To ensure that the Cen­taur Trust site is well man­aged and to facil­i­tate improved nav­i­ga­tion with­in it, cook­ies (small text files stored in a user’s brows­er) or Web bea­cons (elec­tron­ic images that allow sites to count vis­i­tors who have accessed a par­tic­u­lar page and to access cer­tain cook­ies) are used on the Cen­taur Trust site to col­lect aggre­gate data.

A “cook­ie” is a small piece of text that a web site places in the cook­ie file of your brows­er and that allows the site to remem­ber who you are. Cook­ies can­not be used to run pro­grams or deliv­er virus­es to your com­put­er. Cen­taur Trust only uses cook­ies in accor­dance with applic­a­ble laws. Cook­ies by them­selves do not tell us your email address or oth­er­wise iden­ti­fy you personally.

If you sub­se­quent­ly reg­is­ter with a Cen­taur Trust web­site, this infor­ma­tion may be linked to a cook­ie in order to enhance and per­son­al­ize your online expe­ri­ence (e.g., by wel­com­ing you back when you return or pro­vid­ing you access to your reg­is­tra­tion information).

If you are con­cerned about cook­ies, most browsers per­mit indi­vid­u­als to decline cook­ies. In most cas­es, a vis­i­tor may refuse a cook­ie and still ful­ly nav­i­gate our site, how­ev­er oth­er func­tion­al­i­ty in the site may be impaired. After ter­mi­na­tion of the vis­it to our site, you can always delete the cook­ie from your sys­tem if you wish.

A web bea­con is a small image file on a web page that can be used to col­lect cer­tain infor­ma­tion from your com­put­er, such as an IP address, the time the con­tent was viewed, a brows­er type, and the exis­tence of cook­ies pre­vi­ous­ly set by the same serv­er. Cen­taur Trust only uses web bea­cons in accor­dance with applic­a­ble laws.

Cen­taur Trust may use web bea­cons to gath­er aggre­gate vis­i­tor sta­tis­tics and man­age cook­ies. You have the option to ren­der some web bea­cons unus­able by reject­ing their asso­ci­at­ed cook­ies. The web bea­con may still record an anony­mous vis­it from your IP address but cook­ie infor­ma­tion will not be recorded.
