Personally Identifiable Information: In general, you can browse the Site without telling us who you are and without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. When we ask for personally identifiable information, it is used only to provide the information you have requested as well as other key announcements from CCL. For example, when you register to become a member of the Site, you are required to provide some contact information (name, email and country of residence). Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. No other personally identifiable information is collected without your consent.

Statistical Data: We collect statistical information based upon the behavior of users of our Site. We use this information only to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests and preferences, and to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. None of this information can identify you as an individual. This information may include referring URLs (such as search engines), the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Site or not), the time you spent on your Site, which country you accessed our Site from, your computer browser and bowser language, operating system information, your resolution/screen size and your IP address.

2. Personal Preference Settings

If you decide to personalize your visits to this Portal by setting user preferences, we store those preferences in a text file called a 'cookie' in the browser files of your computer. This cookie lets our Portal remember your personalized settings between visits. This information is stored on your computer, not on our servers.

3. Use and Disclosure of Information

Personally Identifiable Information: When you are on the Site and are asked for personally identifiable information, such as during the registration process you are providing that information to CCL.

One of the functions of the Site is to enable members to promote themselves and the services they offer and to enable other members to find them when searching for those services.  Much of the information you provide during registration and when completing/updating your profile is therefore available to other members.  Your personal contact information – telephone numbers, address and personal email – will only be available to other members if you are a commissioning organization advertising contracts or if you specifically advertise these details or provide them directly to other members.

We use your personally identifiable information to facilitate the services on the Site (eg Simple Search function).  Some of your profile information may also be accessed and viewed by other members. Further you agree that CCL may use your name and information relating to the services you offer for the purpose of promoting Site membership within our own Site and in other CCL marketing materials.

As a matter of policy, we do not rent or sell any of your personally identifiable information to any third parties. Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other persona
