The Term "User" refers to a Visitor or Member.

Registry and profile information: When you register with Fixdit, we require you supply your chosen username and a contact email address. Other information we ask for are your name, birth date, gender, post code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. Once you register with Fixdit and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to Fixdit.

Fixdit Members may also choose to provide or store information and Related Data in their profiles, including but not limited to birth date, gender, post code, occupation, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (universities, companies), private messages, and personalised avatars (collectively known as "Profile Information"). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion. Please be aware that your Profile Information, as well as any information posted to any public forum, can be accessed by the public. Profile Information located on profiles inaccessible by an anonymous Visitor can still be accessed by Fixdit at all times and, in limited cases, by certain third parties authorized by Fixdit.

Log information: When you use Fixdit services, the servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information including your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. Fixdit allows other companies that are presenting advertisements on some of Fixdit's pages to set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to Fixdit's cookies.

General purposes: Fixdit uses information for the following general purposes: to personalise the advertising and content you see, based on the details given by you at registration and your activity at Fixdit, fulfil your requests for products and services, improve Fixdit's services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal, external clients and companies.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Fixdit will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone unless the following limited circumstances apply.

Fixdit may send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when:
1.1 We have your consent to share the information;
1.2 We need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested;
1.3 We need to assist Fixdit clients and third parties to track visits and changes to their objects;
1.4 We need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of Fixdit to provide a product or service to you; (Unless we tell you differently, these companies do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is required to assist us.); or
1.5 We respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, or to any legitimate request by authorities with which we must comply.
Fixdit may transfer information about you if Fixdit acquires, or is acquired by or merged with, another company. In this event, Fixdit will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a new privacy policy.

We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of Members who have showed they were 'experiencing an issue' in a certain area of a country for a particular object. Such information does not identify you individually.

Please contact us (http://www.fixdit.com/contact) with any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.

Information security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of Fixdit's data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Fixdit employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve Fixdit's services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use Fixdit services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup hard-drives), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of Fixdit's services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users' personal information.

Enforcement

Fixdit reviews the compliance with this Policy on a regular basis. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding the Policy or Fixdit's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this website (http://www.fixdit.com/contact). It is Fixdit's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Fixdit and an individual.

Changes to this policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy might alter from time to time to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. We will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, a more prominent notice will be provided. Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive.
