Please take time to read this Website's Terms of use.
1. Collection of data
We retain two types of information:
"Personal Data"
This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your first name, last name, personal e-mail, work e-mail, employer, job-title, country of residence, phone number, photograph, and user IP addresses in circumstances where they have not been deleted, clipped or anonymised. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us.
"Non-Personal Data"
Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website. This Non-Personal Data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website.
Registration for an account on this Website requires your first name, last name, work e-mail, employer, job-title, country of residence, phone number and a user name that has not been chosen already. You are not required to provide any other information if you do not want to. Only you decide which of these and other personal information about you will become publicly available via your account at CatManPeople. Please be aware that the user name you choose, the e-mail address you provide and any other information you enter may render you personally identifiable, and may possibly be displayed on this Website intentionally (depending on choices you make during the registration process, or depending on the way in which the Website is configured) or unintentionally (subsequent to a successful act of intrusion by a third party). As on many Websites, CatManPeople may also automatically receive general information that is contained in server log files, such as your IP address, and cookie information. Information about how advertising may be served on this Website (if it is indeed CatManPeople’s policy to display advertising) is set forth below.
We will use your registration information in order to:
1.1 administer your accounts with us;
1.2 send you information about our products and services (only where you have given consent, see below for details);
1.3 verify your identity;
1.4 carry out marketing analysis and make general improvements to the Website;
1.5 obtain your views and comments on the services we provide;
1.6 supply your contact details to third parties who may be interested in providing you with products or services (only where you have given consent, see below for details).
You acknowledge the above mentioned ways of use of your registration information and grant us your consent with such a use. Should you not wish that you registration information be used in any of these ways, please contact us at info@catmanpeople.com, or de-register from your account. By accepting these Privacy Policies you grant us your consent with the processing of your personal information in accordance with Article 7, Article 10 (1) lit. (d) section 2 and other relevant provisions of the Data Protection Act for a period of duration of your account at CatManPeople.com. You may de-register from CatManPeople anytime, or you may ask the Website administrator to do so.
2. Disclosure of date to third-parties
We may provide Non-Personal Data to third parties, where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our website. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our website, the demographic breakdown of our community users of our website, or the activities that visitors to our website engage in while on our website. The third parties to whom we may provide this information may include other users, potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.
During the registration process your consent is sought to being contacted by our business partners or other selected third parties, including recruitment agencies. By indicating your consent to being contacted by our business partners or other selected third parties, including recruitment agencies, you accept that you may be contacted such business partners or third parties, including recruitment agencies, at your personal e-mail address or phone number (if provided). We may pass your information onto our business partners or to other selected third parties to enable them to send you information which may be of interest to you, but only if you have given us permission to do so. If you want to stop being contacted by our business partners or third-parties, you can opt out at any time by changing your personal status on the Website, or contacting us at info@catmanpeople.com.

5. Cookies
When you visit the Website we may store some information (commonly known as a “cookie”) on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you.

You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative if you want to find out more information about this practice, and to learn about your options.
You can block or erase cookies from your computer if you want to (your browser’s help manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Website might be reliant on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

11. Transferring your Personal Data outside of Europe
As part of the services offered to you through the Website, the information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside of the EU.

We may also share information with our third-party partners, which may be located in countries outside the EU. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to Slovakia. If we transfer you information outside the EU in this way, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this privacy policy.
