1. Statement of intent

From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address etc) in order to receive or use services on our website.

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable usto provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. Our services are designed to give you the information that you want to receive. N.F. Stroth and Associates will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

2. Information on visitors

During the course of any visit to our website, the pages you see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded to your computer (see point 3 for more on this). Most, if not all, websites do this, because cookies allow the website publisher to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the site before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Any information that is supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better service and assists us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For example: if on a previous visit you went to, say, the education pages, then we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on a second visit.

3. What is a cookie?

When you enter a site your computer will automatically be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves do not identify the individual user, just the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows.

Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site that have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user.

NB: Even if you haven't set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse our site anonymously until such time as you register for our website services.

4. Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information to our website we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. In general, any information you provide to N.F. Stroth and Associates will only be used within N.F. Stroth and Associates and by its service providers. It will never be supplied to anyone outside N.F. Stroth and Associates without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you post or send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to our website or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on our website, and N.F. Stroth and Associates considers such behaviour to be serious and/or repeated, N.F. Stroth and Associates can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour. This may include informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or e-mail provider about the content and your behaviour.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met. For safety reasons, however, N.F. Stroth and Associates may store messaging transcript data (including message content and dates) arising from the use of our website for a period of six months or longer.

5. Users 13 and under

If you are aged 13 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission beforehand whenever you provide personal information to N.F. Stroth and Associates's website. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.
