We will ensure that any personal data supplied is held securely, and processed in

The Information We Collect
We request very little information from you through our website and only for a narrow
set of purposes. Typically, identifying information is collected:
- To allow us to consider your comments, queries and suggestions and respond if necessary;
- To allow us to respond to your enquiries for further information; and
- To distribute requested materials;
The type of personal information collected on the website could include your name,
address (including postcode), email address and telephone number.
Sometimes, we may ask questions where you are not personally identifiable from your
response although we may post responses on the website. These instances will be
highlighted to you but in all other instances, you should assume that we track any
information you provide on a personally identifiable basis.
The Way We Use Information
Personal information provided to the College by you will only be used for the purpose
stated when the information is requested. Personal information will not be sold
to third parties, or provided to direct marketing companies or other such organisations
without your permission.
We use return email addresses to answer any emails we receive, and we may use return
email addresses to send any information you may request. Unless you ask us not to,
we may contact you via email in the future to provide you with details of other
James Watt College services which may be of interest to you or to conduct
research about your opinion of current services.
Demographical and statistical information about user behaviour may be collected
and used to analyse the popularity and effectiveness of the College's website.
Any disclosure of this information will be in aggregate form and will not identify
individual users.
This information is used for system administration, for bug tracking, and for producing
usage statistics. The logged information may be kept indefinitely.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to keep your personal information secure. We have
put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
the information we collect. We cannot guarantee the security of any information
you disclose online, and you do so at your own risk.
