Semantic Design Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Semantic Design we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact us.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

Semantic Design Ltd (“Semantic Design”) operates websites including semanticdesign.uk and anatomyofrestlessness.co.uk. It is Semantic Design’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Semantic Design collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Semantic Design’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Semantic Design’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Semantic Design may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Semantic Design also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. Semantic Design only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Semantic Design’s websites choose to interact with Semantic Design in ways that require Semantic Design to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Semantic Design gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Semantic Design collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Semantic Design. Semantic Design does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Semantic Design may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, Semantic Design may monitor the most popular pages on its sites. Semantic Design may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Semantic Design does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Semantic Design discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Semantic Design’s behalf or to provide services available at Semantic Design’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Semantic Design’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Semantic Design will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Semantic Design discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Semantic Design believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Semantic Design, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Semantic Design website and have supplied your email address, Semantic Design may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Semantic Design and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Semantic Design takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Semantic Design uses cookies to help Semantic Design identify and track visitors, their usage of Semantic Design’s websites, and their website access preferences. Semantic Design visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Semantic Design’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Semantic Design’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Our websites use Google Analytics for measuring usage; further information on how this works and the cookies involved can be found in the guide Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

We also use a cookie called eucookie to record that a visitor has been shown our EU Cookie Law compliance banner when first visiting the site. This cookie expires after 10 years.

Business Transfers

If Semantic Design, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Semantic Design goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Semantic Design may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Semantic Design may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Semantic Design’s sole discretion. Semantic Design encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
