We collect information that you provide by filling in forms on planzheroes.org (our website).

We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our site or when you contact us.

Our site will use the postcode that you provide to us at the time of registration to display your location on a map associated with your profile. Your profile will be accessible to other users of our site within the European Union.

If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence or conversation.

We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.

Details of transactions you carry out through our site

We may collect details of your visits to our site including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data. This may be to enable you to access the resources we offer, or for our own billing purposes, or it may be to predict your preferences and to show you adverts that are most likely to be of interest to you.

IP addresses

We may collect information about your computer (and/or mobile device or tablet) including your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and partners. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and it does not identify any individual.

These communications may contain tracking facilities, including data about the opening and forwarding of emails, and clicking on links within the emails. This tracking is done to refine future email communications and to give you content which is most relevant to you.

Where we store your personal data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password(s) with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.
