How Data is collected

We collect both non-personally information from you and personally identifiable information about you on this site. Non-personally identifiable data is collected automatically by our servers as you are using the site. Personally identifiable data is collected when you register at the point of joining, when you add or update your profile and when you send messages.

Our web servers automatically collect the following information, even if you do not register a profile with Koopid:

• Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Your IP address
• Your web browser type and version number
• The number of colours your screen is displaying
• Your operating system
• The URL (web address or link) you clicked on to get here

This information is used to improve our service by adapting our pages to display correctly on many different platforms and also to record numbers of visitors and page impressions etc.

Personally Identifiable information

If you register with Koopid you will give us certain personally identifiable information. This is used to allow you to log in, to send your welcome message and for messages intended for you to be notified to your email account and to send you occasional bulletins. It is used for no other purposes, such as direct mailing and is not passed on to any third party suppliers.

Other information

When you are logged in and look at another member's profile, this is recorded. The information may be made available to the member whose profile you looked at. Also, if you make another member one of your 'Favourites' we may make this information available to that other member.
