Privacy Policy

   

Edugate is committed to providing you with the best customer service and this requires us to collect personal information about our customers from time to time. However rest assured that the protection of your privacy is as important to us as it is to you. We are not involved in the selling or trading of personal information.

What information do we collect and how do we use it?

The information that you provide when you sign in is considered voluntary information provided directly by you in order to receive optional access to certain site areas or services. It is important that you do not share your email address and password with anyone to avoid unauthorized use of your account. It is also important that you provide us with accurate personal information as well as keeping this information current. We will not be responsible for any problems caused by inaccurate information.

Information may be collected at various points on our website and here are some ways we may make use of the information collected:

o    To send you further information about Edugate from time to time
o    To compile statistics and conduct basic research
o    To alert you to news and other events which may be relevant to you

Please note that should you post what we deem to be offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to Edugate.com, we will take steps to stop such conduct. This may take the form of informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or email provider about the objectionable conduct. We also reserve the right to deny or terminate access to a registered user of this site if we believe that the person trying to access the user’s account is not you.

Security

Edugate.com will ensure to the best of our ability that member account information is kept confidential. We use reasonable security measures to protect your information in our database and we restrict access only to those of our employees who need to perform their job functions. However we cannot guarantee the security of member account information in the event of hardware or software failure and other factors which may compromise the security of member information at any time.

Please take note that we will never write to you to enquire about your login details so be wary of anyone asking for such information.

Opt-in/Opt-out

You should not receive any marketing email from us unless you have requested it. In other words, you chose to opt in.  Members who no longer wish to receive any updates from us may choose to opt out or unsubscribe by selecting the appropriate instructions in the menu. We will respect your wishes.

Changes in policy

From time to time, we may make changes to this privacy policy and the date of the last update will be stated as at the end of this page. Please note that a user is bound by any minor changes to the policy when he uses this site after those changes have been posted.
