CBF Privacy Policy

www.cbfeature.com (hereinafter named CBF), part of CEOCIO China magazine, is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. The following outlines our privacy and data protection policy.

Third party partners of CBF and other websites you may access via www.cbfeature.com have different privacy policies and are not subject to this privacy policy. We recommend that you read the privacy statement of each such website to find out how they protect your personal information.

Collection and Use of User Details

When you register at CBF, we collect personal details about you.

Personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address and job title is collected via CBF's order and registration forms.

When you visit the site, we also collect web site usage information and information about your computer and internet connection, including your computer's IP address, the type and version of browser and operating system you use, your internet domain and, if you arrived at CBF via a link from another website, the URL of the linking page.

We use this information to:

• fulfil orders
• personalise the content and advertising you will see based on your personal characteristics or preferences
• notify you of relevant new products and features on CBF (if you opt in to receiving such information)
• notify you of promotions from CBF and from CEOCIO China magazine (if you opt in to receiving such information)
• allow reputable third parties to send you information (again, if you opt in to receiving such information)
• ensure, as far as is practical, that our site is compatible with the browsers and operating systems used by most of our visitors.

We also use the information for in-house research to:

• improve our understanding of customer needs in developing CBF
• build marketing profiles
• aid strategic development
• manage our relationship with advertisers

The results of all such research and analysis will be presented as anonymous or aggregated information and will not reveal any personal facts about individual customers.

CBF is powered by CEOCIO China, a business and management bi-weekly published in China and some countries around the world. Steps have been taken to ensure that high standards of data protection are adhered to in all regional offices for all the forms of processing mentioned above.

User Choices

The registration form provides you with a series of choices regarding promotional activity and other communication with you.

If you want to be kept informed of CBfeature.com products and offers, as well as technical or functional developments related to our website and on-line services, then you should tick the relevant opt-in box.

You may also indicate whether you wish to receive such information from other CEOCIO China businesses.

If you wish, we will occasionally allow other similar, reputable organisations to contact you. If you wish to hear from these companies, please tick the appropriate box on the registration form.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file which is placed on the user's hard drive during a CBF visit. This file allows the user to move quickly and easily around our site. It is used to identify returning users and to identify subscribers and registrants (a registrant - and subscriber - will have the cookie linked to their e-mail address as a way of identifying them). This means that if you are a registrant or subscriber, you will not have to login each time you visit. We also use a cookie to track a user's sessions. We use this information to find out what site features are most popular so that we can develop CBF in the light of our analysis of people's usage. We also use cookies and the information we collect to show you relevant content and advertising.

You can delete cookies from your hard drive at any time. Bear in mind, though, that if you delete these cookies, any settings such as your stored username and password will have to be reset when you log in again.

Unlike many sites, you will be able to use CBfeature.com even if you set your browser not to accept any cookies. However, certain features and content may not be available to you and you will have to log in every time you visit.

Further information on the use of cookies can be found at:http://www.cookiecentral.com

E-mails

CBF uses reputable third parties to deliver the e-mails you will receive from our site if you subscribe to our e-mail newsletters or have chosen to receive information about CBfeature.com products and offers. These third parties use unique identifiers and invisible images (often called "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") to perform message open sensing, message format sensing, and clickthrough sensing on behalf of CBfeature.com in order to bring you more relevant information.

Security Policy

CBF has appropriate measures in place to ensure that user's personal details are not misused, accidentally destroyed, lost or altered within the CEOCIO China server environment.

Occasions will arise when customer information is passed outside CBfeature.com or CEOCIO China to other data processors (i.e. fulfillment bureaus, database consultants etc.) but they will only act upon instruction from CEOCIO China in order to perform the services required.

Transfer of Personal Data Overseas

Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by browsing CBfeature.com and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.

Updating Customer Details

It is important to us that we have your correct contact information so that you do not miss out on further correspondence or experience problems with the delivery of products.

You can change your personal information or your e-mail requirements by updating your account information at: http://cbf.ceocio.com.cn/member/profile/

Changes to this statement

Due to changes in legislation and best practice or enhancements to functionality and content on CBfeature.com we may make changes to our privacy policy and will reflect those changes in this statement, so you should check here from time to time.
