Privacy Policy

You may submit personal information about yourself (for example, name and email address etc.) in order to receive or use our services.

When we collect this information, we will only do so over a secure connection. Any additional future use by DCX of your personal data will be determined by your responses to the questions you are asked at the time your data is captured. These future communications may include marketing materials and sales promotional items.

You can rest assured that we will never pass your data to a third party for their own use.

These are cookies that are set by this website directly and include Google Analytics and other analysis tools.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behaviour on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This Analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are. Additionally, we use Google Optimize to utilise our Google Analytics cookies to target content variants to a user and a content experiment cookie to determine a user’s participation in an experiment.

You can find out more about Google’s position on privacy as regards its analytics service at https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics/privacyoverview.html

These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on this site. Cookies of this type are the sharing buttons across the site allow visitors to share content onto social networks. Cookies are currently set by some or all of the following services: ShareThis, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of our website. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on this website.

LinkedIn: The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of data regarding LinkedIn members’ visits to our website, including the URL, referrer, IP address, device and browser characteristics (User Agent), and timestamp. This data is encrypted, the IP addresses are truncated, and members’ direct identifiers are removed within seven days in order to make the data pseudonymous. This remaining, pseudonymized data is then deleted within 90 days.

LinkedIn does not share the personal data with DCX, it only provides aggregated reports about the website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, enabling DCX to show personalised ads off its website by using this data, but without identifying the member. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes through their account settings.

You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
