Principle 4. Limiting Collection

The GO Futures HR website is available without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your email address.

Like any other website, our web server may collect the name, address, IP address and domain you used to access the website, the type and version of web browser and operating system you are using, and the number/duration/frequency of visits to our website. This anonymous information cannot be traced to a specific individual user, but is used simply to measure the number of visits, average time spent, page views, most popular preferences and other statistics, to determine the ways in which users prefer to use the website. We may use this data to monitor the website’s performance for systems administration purposes, to improve the website, and to track statistics such as web traffic in aggregate form. In cases where the collection of personal information is necessary (i.e. filling out a survey, requesting a brochure or contacting us), we will explain the purpose for collecting each piece of personal information. If it is necessary to use the personal information collected for a purpose not identified when the information was collected, consent for the new use will be obtained.

Principle 5. Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

GO Futures HR will use personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, and will not disclose the information to other parties.

All personal information provided to Go Futures HR will be maintained in a secure manner to ensure that its use is limited to the purpose for which it was collected.

Principle 6. Accuracy
