This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with Personally Identifiable Information (defined below) that we collect via this website www.TheLaserClass.com (“Site”). This policy only addresses our practices regarding the information that we collect through our Site and does not govern the collection, use or disclosure of information by any third parties.
What Personal Information does The Laser Class Collect from Me?
- your name, username and password
• your email address and telephone number
• payment information, billing and delivery addresses
The Non-Personally Identifiable Information we gather is information that cannot be used to identify who you are and includes:
• your internet protocol (IP) address (as described below)
• the type of browser software and OS you are using
• the date and time of your visit to the Site
• the website address, if any, that linked you to our Site
• the specific pages of the Site you are viewing
• other non-personally identifiable traffic data
How We Collect This Information?
Personally Identifiable Information: You do not have to provide Personally Identifiable Information to use the Site. However, when you register for an Event through TheLaserClass.com, you provide us with your name, invoicing and delivery addresses, email address, telephone number and payment information. When you register, you select a username and password allowing you access to your The LaserClass.com members account. Your password should be kept strictly confidential to prevent unauthorised use.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
When you visit and interact with the Site, The Laser Class and its third party service providers and business partners may collect Non-PII (for example, a catalogue of the Site pages you visit). Non-PII is generally collected through the Site from five different sources: (1) server log files, (2) environmental variables, (3) cookies, (4) pixel tags and other similar technologies, and (5) information that you voluntarily provide to us.
1. Server Log Files. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We and our service providers use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the Site’s servers, and administering the Site.
2. Environmental Variables. We and our service providers may also collect certain environmental variables, such as your MAC address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, OS version, Internet browser, and Internet browser version. These environmental variables are collected by most websites, and can be used to optimise your experience on the Site.
3. Cookies. We and our service providers may use “cookies” in connection with the Site. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to one’s computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites, and can facilitate users’ ongoing access to and use of a particular website; cookies do not cause damage to your computer systems or files. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies.
4. Pixel Tags. We and our service providers may also use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar means in connection with Site pages and HTML-formatted email messages to track the actions of Site users and email recipients, to determine the success of marketing campaigns and to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage and response rates.
5. Information That You Voluntarily Provide. We also collect Non-PII (e.g., your interests, your geographic location, etc.) when you voluntarily provide such information to us. Such information constitutes Non-PII because, unless combined with PII, it does not personally identify you or any other user. Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, for example, by using PII to calculate the percentage of our users who have a particular telephone area code. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes of this Policy.
