How this web site uses any information about you

Your privacy when visiting our website is important to us. We have therefore developed our privacy policy to explain the type of information we collect, what we do with it, and how you can correct or change the information.

Ulster Rugby collects two types of information from visitors to our website; 'personal data' and 'aggregated data'.

Personal Data

Personal data is collected when you visit our website and provide us with information about yourself when either purchasing merchandise or booking tickets online. This includes giving us your name, address, and other billing information. We also collect your credit card information to enable us to process online your application or event booking which we will then charge to your account.

We also collect data when you register with our bulletin boards. This information tracks your IP address so that we can ban users who disregard our terms and conditions of use. It also ensures that we can stop multiple registrations by individuals. Ulster Rugby may place your e-mail address (any other information you provide us) on an e-mail contact list if you have requested us to do so. Occasionally, we may send you information about the Club (Ulster Ezine) and other activities to you by e-mail or otherwise. You may remove your information from this contact list at any time by simply unsubscribing, which can be done by following instructions at the bottom of the email sent to you or on the Home Page.

Aggregated Data

Aggregated data is collected to provide information on traffic patterns on the Ulster Rugby website, including how many visitors log into www.ulsterrugby.com daily, system administration and to measure the success of specific areas within our website. Ulster collect aggregated data through various methods, including storing IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers (the computers that "serve up" web pages) automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from www.ulsterrugby.com, our servers log your IP address. Ulster Rugby never links a visitor's personal details to the IP address attached to the computer the visitor is using. Therefore, although Ulster Rugby will log your session using your IP address, you will always remain anonymous to us.

Security

Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure transactions. Our SSL encrypts all of your personal information including credit card details. All personal information is stored in our secure databases and access is strictly controlled and limited to certain individuals within Ulster Rugby.

Use of Cookies

Ulster Rugby also uses 'persistent cookies' to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that most websites write to a visitor's hard drive for the purposes of record keeping, but also to make improvements and provide updates to visitors based upon which areas of the website are popular, or not. A persistent cookie will remain on a visitor's hard drive until it is deleted. Cookies allow Ulster Rugby to measure activity on the site and to help improve your experience as a user. For example, we use cookies to remember your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to visit various member-only parts of the website without re-registering.

Disclosure of information

We do not sell, rent or lease your personal data to other organisations, except where we have your express permission, or under special circumstances such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Ulster Rugby cannot accept responsibility for accidental or inadvertent disclosure, illegal or unauthorised access, or for other disclosure as required by law or other regulation. Ulster Rugby may disclose aggregate statistics about our sales, our web site visits and survey results in order to describe our services to prospective partners and other reputable third parties and for other lawful purposes, but these statistics will not include personally identifiable information.
