PICTI Privacy Statement The following sets out how PICTI will deal with personal information related to the content and use of its web sites. Collection of Information Information Automatically Logged   PICTI may make a record of your visit and logs any of the following information for statistical and business purposes - the user's server address, the user's domain name, IP address, the date and time of the visit, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous site visited and the type of browser used. Security Information   PICTI sites have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information as defined in PICTI IT Security Policy. Cookies   A cookie is information that a Web site puts on your hard disk so that it can remember something about you at a later time. (More technically, it is information for future use that is stored by the server on the client side of a client/server communication.) It is possible to disable the accepting of cookies by your web browser, however doing so may restrict your ability to access some web pages. Some PICTI sites are access restricted. These sites may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interest. Cookies may also be used for authentication purposes, and to improve security during a visitor's session online. Cookies may store the following information: session (numbered key) and duration. A numbered key is a unique server generated number used to identify the current session. The session key can be linked back to a user's login identification. Unique identifiers (such as login identification) are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity and for use as account numbers in our record system. Unique identifiers are also used to store information about visitor's preferences, to enable the dynamic display of the site according to your preferences when you return. Registration Forms   If personal information is collected via a website this will be done by sufficiently secure means. Individuals will be provided with alternative means of providing personal information to PICTI, other than via the website. For certain applications, our site's registration forms require users to give contact information (like name and email address), and unique identifiers (like login email identification and student number). External Links   Some PICTI sites contain links to other sites. PICTI is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. The appearance on PICTI Portal Site of the name or logo of another entity, or the appearance of a link to another entity's site, does not indicate endorsement by PICTI of the other entity or its products and services, and PICTI expressly disclaims any such endorsement. 2. Use of personal information   Personal information you supply on-line will be used by PICTI staff in conducting the business of PICTI. Such uses include matters related to members’ administration, provision of services and the dissemination of information, prospective and current clients and remaining in contact with graduates. PICTI may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with a server and to administer a Web site. It is sometimes used to set up individual sessions to provide secure logins. Contact information from registration forms is used to get in touch with the visitor to a website when necessary, for example when the visitor is requesting the publication of notice of an event or seeking information about PICTI. For certain applications, for example the online calendar of events, a user's details will be published when they are indicated to be the contact person for a particular event. 3. Disclosure of personal information   PICTI will not disclose personal information concerning you, including your email address, to parties outside PICTI except in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Users may opt-in to having their name and email addresses published as part of the on-line directory. Public Forums   Some PICTI sites may have chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. 4. Data Quality/Access   PICTI will always try to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information.
