eGov monitor Privacy Policy

eGov monitor's Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us, and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and associated services. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. eGov monitor will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice. This statement will be continuously assessed to ensure compliance against new legislations, technologies and business practices.

What information do we collect?

We collect information on our users in two ways: through website usage data including cookies (see below), and through registration.

Registration allows you to receive the eGov monitor publications. When you register on the eGov monitor site you knowingly choose to provide eGov monitor with personal information. The minimum information we need to register a user is their name, position, organisation, type of organisation, work phone number, email address and work address. Any further details you choose to supply about yourself and your company when you register are provided at your own discretion.

If you submit articles to the site or take part in discussions, we may retain the content of your articles, posts and related responses. You may be identified as the author of any content you supply to the eGov monitor website by reference to the details you have chosen to make available to the public upon registration, and subsequently. (See the Terms and Conditions)

Email Newsletters/publications

Users can opt-in to receive regular email updates from eGov monitor when they register for the newsletters on the eGov monitor website. eGov monitor will retain the email address until they receive a request to unsubscribe sent from the same email address.

eGov monitor email updates will typically be sent once every week, although additional emails about eGov monitor services may also be sent from time to time. Subscribers will be notified if the frequency with which email updates are sent changes.

Only users who have opted in will receive email updates from eGov monitor.

Any user can opt out of communications at any time by updating their personal profile, by following the Unsubscribe instructions published in every eGov monitor newsletter, or by sending an email with 'UNSUBSCRIBE' in the subject line to weekly@egovmonitor.com

Sharing your information

At no time will we sell or release your personal data to any third party organisation (subject to the Exclusions stated below). Many organisations collect data in order to sell on to partners and affiliates, but eGov monitor has no intention of doing this.
