Discover Scotland > Privacy Statement

I realise your privacy is important. This document outlines the types of personal information I receive and collect when you use this site, as well as some of the steps I take to safeguard information.

I hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with me. Scotland-welcomes-you.com strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all my operations. Likewise, I am dedicated to protecting my customers', consumers' and online visitors' privacy on this website.

Scotland-welcomes-you.com collects personally identifiable information from the visitors to this website only on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected on a voluntary basis may include name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number.

This information is collected if you request information, sign up to join my Newsletter or request some other service or information. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of the website, notify visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

Once information is reviewed, it is discarded or stored in my files. If I make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information I will inform you by placing a notice on the site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties.

I may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the sites pages, or register with any of the site's services, a cookie enables Scotland-welcomes-you.com to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser; however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the site.

A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. Web beacons may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with pages and content of a web site.

I may serve third party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on this web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on this web site.

Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a problem with this site, should you so choose.

This website is directed to adults; it is not directed to children under the age of 13. I operate this site in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.

In some cases, I may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. I use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyse trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about user base as a whole. The information collected is used solely for internal review and not shared with other organisations for commercial purposes.

If Scotland-welcomes-you.com is sold, the information I have obtained from you through your voluntary participation on this site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice through this website of that change in control and practices, and I will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honors any opt-out requests you might make.

I provide this privacy policy as a statement to you of my commitment to protect your personal information. If you have submitted personal information through this website and would like that information deleted from my records or would like to update or correct that information, please notify me via the Contact Me page.

Scotland-welcomes-you.com reserves the right to make changes in this policy. If there is a material change in my policy, I will indicate on this site that my privacy practices have changed and provide a link to the new privacy policy. I encourage you to periodically review this policy so that you will know what information I collect and how I use it.

If you do not agree to Scotland-welcomes-you.com policy as posted here on this website, please do not use any services offered by this site.
