We respect
and are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy
Policy lets you know how
your personal information is processed and used. We promise
that we will take steps to use your personal information
only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy.
The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages,
newsletters and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated
by PROJECTS IQ. The following discloses our Privacy Policy.
PROJECTSIQ.co.za does track which content you access,
however individual information on accessed content is deemed
private and is therefore not made public. This information
is only used internally as it relates to PROJECTS IQ
business processes, customer care and in the overall
processes of improving our business and service offering.
WE VALUE YOUR PARTICIPATION AND TRUST AND ARE COMMITTED TO A
NO SPAM POLICY.
What information is collected and how it
is collected?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain
name and a set of numbers, which serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a
page from PROJECTSIQ.CO.ZA our Web servers automatically
recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The
domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you
other than the IP address from which you have accessed our
site. We use this information to examine website
interactivity. Our Web servers do not record e-mail
addresses of the visitors.
How we use single-pixel gifs or tracking
scripts?
PROJECTSIQ.CO.ZA may use single-pixel gif images or tracking
scripts, sometimes referred to as web bugs or web beacons,
to evaluate website interactivity and gather some general
statistical information. PROJECTS IQ may use single-pixel
gifs or tracking scripts that can track personal information
from cookies that may have been previously placed on a
user's computer.
What other information do we request?
We may also request your personal details including but not
limited to e-mail address, mailing address for the purposes
of registering as a site user, conducting a survey or to
provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to
e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about
seminars).
Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will
clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the
information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam"
policy. We will also not sell or rent your e-mail address to
a third-party.
When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for
your name, address and e-mail address so that we can
administer the contest and notify winners.
Will we disclose the information we
collect to outside, third parties?
PROJECTS IQ will disclose personal information when required
by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to:
-
Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal
process served on PROJECTSIQ.CO.ZA,
-
Protect and defend the rights or property of PROJECTS IQ
or visitors to PROJECTSIQ.CO.ZA,
-
Identify persons who may be violating the law, the legal
notice, or the rights of third parties,
-
Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful
activities.
What else should I know about my privacy
when online?
The PROJECTSIQ.CO.ZA Website may contain links to other Web
sites. Please check with those sites to determine their
privacy policy.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose
personal information online - for example through e-mail,
discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal
information online that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and
responsible whenever you're online.
This is how we will handle information we learn about you
from your visit to our Web site. The information we receive
depends upon what you do when visiting our site.

create statistics about our site. These statistics help us
to better understand how our site is being used and what we
can do to make it more useful to visitors.

Email Communication
PROJECTS IQ from time to time distributes an online
newsletter as well as announcements relating to CubicICE
which we believe our stakeholders will be interested in.
PROJECTS IQ recognises that users may not wish to be
contacted about new or related services; therefore you may
opt out of any e-mail marketing or newsletters that may
result from use of the site. When you receive an email, you
will be given instructions on how to remove yourself from
that list.
All our email communications are tracked to evaluate
interaction success and to better understand how
stakeholders are responding to communications. Typically,
PROJECTS IQ uses email tagging to identify which links in
the email you click on and how you interact with the
PROJECTS IQ website. This information may be linked to the
unique cookie stored on your hard drive.

effective as of January 01, 2003. PROJECTS IQ reserves the

collection and use of information by us as specified above.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
