HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We might use personal data collected via our Content:

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM THIRD PARTIES

Sometimes, we receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you login to a Website or App using Facebook Connect you will be asked if you wish to share information from your Facebook account with us. If you participate in a game or other feature where your score is posted on a social media content, or if you use a “like” or a “share” button for a feature on our Websites or Apps, then the third party will share information with us.

If you participate in activities on non-NEUK sites or apps – such as participating in a Facebook application – you may allow us to have access to personal data held by Facebook, or other site or app owners.

Please note that if you participate in activities on non-NEUK sites or apps or where we provide links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications that are not affiliated with us or our Content such sites are out of our control and are not covered by this Policy. If you access or participate in activities on such third party sites or apps, the operators of these sites may collect personal data from you that could be used by them, in accordance with their own privacy policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to those websites.

We will also receive personal data about you if individuals give us access to their profiles, or similar features, on non-NEUK sites or apps, and you are one of their “connections”.

If we provide online services to a Child where we need parental consent for this, we may ask for a parent’s email address, in order to obtain the consent.
