Because SAIF wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information practices and have our privacy practices reviewed for compliance.

SAIF and your privacy

At SAIF we respect your right to privacy and we understand that, as a visitor to saif.org.uk, you prefer to control your own personal information and preferences. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal information and preferences when you visit certain areas of saif.org.uk, download free software, request information, or subscribe to SAIF newsletters.

We will guard the personal information you share with us to ensure the content, services, and advertising that we provide on related SAIF sites are always tailored to your current, designated preferences.

When you provide SAIF with your name (or alias), e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number, and you "opt in," SAIF and SAIF representatives may use the provided information to alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information, classes, new services, and other SAIF related information. ("Representatives" include value-added resellers and authorized training partners.) SAIF does not offer, or allow the selling of, any user-provided information to third parties.

SAIF respects the rights users give us when opting to receive e-mail communications and enforces internal policies to preserve those rights. It is our objective to retain the long-term ability to continue to communicate with our users.

If you do not want SAIF or SAIF representatives to contact you, you may "opt out" of this preference at any time, whether you're online or contacting SAIF directly. As part of your preference flexibility, you'll always have the option to opt back in and have SAIF contact you based on your previous or new preferences.

If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still visit most SAIF Web sites; however, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification.

SAIF membership and the use of log files (cookies)

SAIF offers free membership to all saif.org.uk visitors. In order to establish membership, visitors are sometimes requested to provide both personal information and preferences. This information is stored and protected by your user-established Member ID and Password.

SAIF remembers you by placing a log file (cookie) that contains only enough information to identify you upon return visits. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your Web browser for record-keeping purposes and helps SAIF provide better service to you. Your browser has options to accept, reject, or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent.

No information, other than that found in the Membership cookie, will be accessed by any SAIF system. Access to your membership information always requires both your Member ID and Password.

SAIF also utilizes visitor log files (cookies) with our Web site. Once a user enters our site, a cookie follows them through their click stream path. Examples of information being collected by these cookies include the number of times a user came to our site(s), and the paths they took to get there.

SAIF uses the data collected from Web site visitor cookies in aggregate form only and does not collect any personally identifiable information. Use of this information helps us better understand what users are seeking and learning at our Web site(s) and helps us identify potential navigation issues.

How SAIF will protect your personal information

SAIF will always protect the personal information that you share with us. SAIF stores information internally in a controlled, secure environment. If, for example, you make a purchase online, we route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.

If SAIF requests general demographic information, this information is limited to reporting purposes only; members remain anonymous. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses are never shared for demographic reports with outside entities.

SAIF may occasionally present a special contest or promotion that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s), we will provide an up-front statement to that effect.
