Newoyster Limited is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of its officers, employees, suppliers, business partners, members and their clients. We value the trust of the public and those we deal with, and recognise that maintaining this trust requires transparency and accountability in how we treat personal information that is shared with us. This Privacy Policy Statement (“Policy”) has been adopted to guide how we collect, use and disclose the personal information acquired in the course of conducting our business and fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
Please be aware that Newoyster web sites may contain links to other sites, that are governed by other privacy statements that may differ somewhat and/or contain information as required under local law applicable to each member firm. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each web site visited before disclosing any personal information.
We adhere to the requirements of the law and our professional standards, and as we conduct our business operations we frequently gather and use personal information. We seek consent to use this information when it is collected and recognise your expectation that it will be carefully protected. Our privacy practices require that we only use personal information outside of the original purpose for which it is collected after obtaining appropriate consent.
Personal information is defined as any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual, including information about age, income, opinions or beliefs, home location and family. However, business contact and other information about individuals that is available in the public domain, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers published in directories, are not considered personal information. Public information is not subject to privacy legislation and therefore is excluded from this policy and is not subject to the same protections as is the case with personal information. However, we do not disclose personal information about our officers, employees, suppliers, business partners, members and their clients without consent.
Collection and use of personal information
We obtain personal information about you only if you choose to provide it, such as contact information to register for certain services. In some cases, you may have previously provided your personal information to Newoyster (if, for example, you are a former employee). If you choose to register or login to our web site through a third party single sign-in service (e.g., LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter), we may collect any information or content needed for the registration or log-in information that you permit the social media provider to share with us, such as your name and email address. Other information we collect may depend on the privacy settings you establish with your social media provider, so please review the privacy statement or policy of the applicable service.
By registering and/or submitting personal information to Newoyster ltd, you are also agreeing to the use of this information in accordance with this Policy. Your personal information is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain your permission, or unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable law or professional standards.
Sensitive Personal Information
Newoyster generally collects only the personal information required to fulfill your request. If additional information is required, you will be notified of this at the point of collection. Please do not provide sensitive personal information to Newoyster, unless you consent to our use of that information for its legitimate business purposes and consent to the transfer and storage of the information to and in databases. Consent
Your consent is required for the collection and proposed use of personal information when information is collected. Consent can be either explicit or implied and can be provided directly to us by you or your authorised representative. We require your explicit consent in writing or electronically for the use of your personal information.
Cookies
Newoyster websites uses cookies to enable web site functions and for tracking performance. Cookies are tiny data files that some websites place on your computer or other device when you visit. They’re used by many website owners. Cookies are linked to the machine you use to visit our site and not to you as an individual. Unless you provide personal data through your use of this website, no personal information is collected.
Cookies are commonly used by websites to remember some aspect of your current or previous visit. This could include things like the choices you’ve made or preferences you’ve chosen during your visit. Websites commonly do this in order to improve or tailor your current and future visits to that site or other related sites.
One example may be when you visit a site that you have been to before, that site may use a cookie to check what information you’ve looked at previously to get an idea of the topics that may be of interest to you.
The information stored in a cookie can only be read by the website that placed the cookie or other sites that it has agreed to share information with.
New regulations on cookies.
EU regulations that came into force in 2018 affecting the use of cookies and the Information Commissioner’s Office has issued guidance on the use of cookies on UK sites. At Newoyster International, we are committed to protecting your privacy and security and we are currently working towards ensuring that we meet the all regulations in full.
