Collection of Personal Information

Forrester Stocktaking only collects any personal data about you which you volunteer (for example by submitting an advert, emailing the company, etc.). Any information, which you provide in this way, is not made available to any third party – other than those working with Forrester Stocktaking only in line with the purpose for which you provided it.

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, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website. We use the Non-Personal Data gathered from visitors to our website in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our visitors come from and to help us better design and organise our website.

Collection for Technical Information

Forrester Stocktaking does not collect any personal data about you on its websites, apart from information which you volunteer (for example by submitting an advert, emailing the company, etc.). Any information, which you provide in this way, is not made available to any third party – other than those working with Forrester Stocktaking on normal business and is used by Forrester Stocktaking only in line with the purpose for which you provided it.

Cookies may be used by this website to collect non-personal information about how visitors use our website or to remember display preferences. Temporary session cookies may also be used in some areas to enable specific functionality. These temporary session cookies are deleted once you close your browser session.

Occasionally for the purposes of our online services we must pass some cookie information to third parties. These cookies may persist after your browser session has ended. This information will not include any of your personal data or information from which you will be readily identifiable. This information may be used for evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for Forrester Stocktaking and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. It is stored and used in the aggregate only and is not used to obtain personal data or to contact you personally, but instead to improve website services. Forrester Stocktaking actively seeks to preserve user privacy in any interaction with third parties.

Some areas within this website use online data entry forms to collect personal information from web visitors who choose to identify themselves for the purpose of transactions or receiving products, services, or information. Areas within our websites that collect data of any type are required to abide by our Privacy Statement. We request no more information than is required to fulfil the purpose for which the information is being collected.

Technical details in connection with visits to our websites may be logged by our internet service provider for accounting and auditing purposes. This technical information will be used only for statistical and other administrative purposes. You should note that technical details, which Forrester Stocktaking cannot associate with any identifiable individual, do not constitute `personal data’ for the purposes of the Data Protection Act.

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 potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

We will not disclose your Personal Data to third parties unless you have consented to this disclosure or unless the third party is required to fulfil a service you have requested (in such circumstances, the third party is bound by similar data protection requirements). Any third party we disclose the information to will use it for the purposes of delivering the service in question unless you have agreed otherwise.

We will disclose your Personal Data if we believe in good faith that we are required to disclose it in order to comply with any applicable law, a summons, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other statutory requirement.
