The type of information we collect

We collect information you give us at certain areas on the Site where, for example, you make requests, register to receive materials or order products or services. The personal information collected varies but can include your name, address, phone number and e-mail address.

Cookies

Information stored and obtained from cookies can be used to provide you with tailored information from the Site. A cookie is an element of data that the Site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. This saves regular users from re-entering simple details each time they use the Site.

It is possible to adjust your Internet browser to refuse cookies, but you may find that this reduces the functionality of the Site.

Specifically, we use the information you provide us to communicate back to you, to update you on service and benefits, and to personalise our Site for you. From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you about our work and events that may be of interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such information.

Who we share your information with

The Sax Institute will not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to others.

Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorised access to your information.
