Maintaining the privacy of our website visitors and mobile application users is very important to us. As we collect your data, you need to know:
This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes how LEPL Ilia State University ("IliaUNI") with a registered address at Kakutsa Cholokashvili Ave 3/5, Tbilisi 0162, Georgia may collect, use and share information you provide when using our Service, including your personal information. The term "Service" includes the websites www.iliauni.edu.getogether with any related subsites, sub-domains, mobile and software applications, services, features and/or content associated therewith (collectively, "our Websites"). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to IliaUNI and "you" refers to you, as a user of our Service.
We've tried to keep this Privacy Policy simple, but if you're not familiar with any of the terms used or have any questions, contact us at info@iliauni.edu.ge . Your privacy matters to us at IliaUNI, so whether you are new to our Service or a regular or longtime user, it is important that you take the time to carefully read our Privacy Policy, so you can understand our practices as relates to your information.
We will ask for your consent before using your information in any manner and for any purpose other than as described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect information to provide better services to all of the users of our Service, including determining what types of editorial content and the products and services are offered on our Service that are of the most interest and relevance to you.
We collect information about you from the following two sources:
a. Information that you provide or have already provided in one form or another. For example, some of our services require that you create an account. When you do, we'll ask for personal information, like your name and surname, email address, telephone number, and, etc.
b. The information we collect from your use of our Service. This information relates generally to what editorial and advertising content you view, and the products and services you use that we and our third-party providers offer. This information includes:
○ details about how you have used our Service, such as your search queries;
○ your IP address, which is the number assigned to an Internet-connected device such as a tablet or smartphone and used to identify the geographic location of that device;
○ cookies that may uniquely identify your browser and collect information about how our visitors interact with our Service, as well as help us identify problems such as error messages from certain pages. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer or another device when you visit our Service. When you visit our Service any time thereafter, the cookie allows our Service to recognize your browser and to store information about your user preferences and other personal information.
We use the information we collect from users of our Service in order to provide you with more meaningful editorial and advertising content and to offer you relevant products and services, as well as to maintain, protect and improve your overall experience. In particular, you may choose:
In each of those instances, you will be asked to provide, and we will collect and store, certain personal information such as email address, zip code, telephone number, and in some instances information about your business. In the case of purchases made through the Bookhouse Website, we will also collect and store additional information about those purchases, including titles purchased, quantity and dates of purchases, the method of payment, and other information provided such as billing and shipping addresses (if different). By providing that information and provided you have consented thereto, you acknowledge that it can be used by IliaUNI and its various advertisers and other service providers to send you promotions and other communications concerning business opportunities, products or services. You can remove yourself from any such electronic newsletters and otherwise stop receiving any further promotions and other commercial communications by following the "unsubscribe" directions included with each newsletter.
We may use the name you provide for your IliaUNI Profile across all of the services we offer that require an IliaUNI Account, which is where the information you provide is maintained. In addition, we may replace past names associated with your IliaUNI Account, so that you are represented consistently across all our services.
When you contact IliaUNI, we retain a record of your communications to help solve any issues you might be facing or to maintain a record to assist with legal claims. We will keep these records for no more than 6 years. Provided you have consented thereto, we may use your email address to inform you about the products and services offered on our Service, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.
We use information collected from cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. You can reset your browser to reject all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. But you need to know that you may not be able to access or use some features and services on our Service without cookies. A pixel tag is a type of technology that is placed on a website or within an email and used for tracking activity on a website and is often used in combination with cookies. For further information about how we use and collect cookies, see our separate cookie policy located at https://iliauni.edu.ge/en/cookie-policy .
We do not track our users across third-party websites and thus do not respond to Do Not Track ("DNT") signals. However, some third-party websites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, certain website browsers allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
Advertising on our Service makes it possible for us to offer you the information and products/services free of charge. We take seriously and make every effort to make sure that advertising is safe, unobtrusive and as relevant as possible.
Cookies are used to make that advertising as relevant as possible to the needs and interests of users of our Service, and more valuable to our advertisers in being able to show our visitors more relevant ads. Cookies are also used to avoid you seeing the same ad multiple times and to detect and prevent click fraud. We use AdSense, Google Analytics and other DoubleClick services (collectively, "Google® Services"), which help us manage and improve our Service and help our advertisers better understand and track user interaction with their ads. When you visit a location on our Service that includes one or more of these ads, various cookies may be sent to your browser.
We may use other technologies, including Flash and HTML5, which provide the functionality for such displays as interactive advertising. We may also use your IP address to select and provide advertising targeted to that address, in order to improve the relevance of the ads you see and to measure and report to advertisers non-personal statistical information about the geographical location of those website visitors who are viewing their ads.
The advertising you see on our Service is determined by a number of factors relating to relevance, including:
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect so that you can make meaningful choices about how that information is used. You may set your browser in its "options" or "preferences" feature in order to warn you before accepting cookies or to disable all cookies entirely. However, it is important to understand that many of the services we provide on our Service and to our Service users may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of your country and the European Economic Area ("EEA") including, in particular, the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
Our Service allows visitors to share information with others, such as comments on editorial content and information shared via social media. When you share information it may as a result become accessible to others, through such mechanisms as search engines. We cannot be responsible for how others with whom you may share information may use that information. (See Paragraph 10 below – The Scope of Our Privacy Policy.)
It is our policy that, whenever you visit our Service, you should be able to access your personal information, which is information identifying you such as name, email address, billing information or any other information which can reasonably be expected to identify you. If that information is incorrect, we try to provide you ways to update it quickly or to delete it - unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes, in which case it will be retained for the periods specified in this Privacy Policy. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request.
If allowed under applicable law, we may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, requests which would be extremely impractical).
Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so at no cost to you, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our Service, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems.
We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of IliaUNI, unless one of the following circumstances applies:
a. We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of IliaUNI when we have your written or other consent to do so.
b. We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of IliaUNI if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of that information is reasonably necessary to:
c. We may share personal information with a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of IliaUni’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by IliaUni about our Service users is among the assets transferred.
d. We may share your information publicly and with our partners such as third-party content providers, advertisers or connected sites, but in a manner that does not reveal your personally-identifiable information and which is aggregated with other user information to show usage of IliaUni and third-party products and services offered on our Service and trends based on such categories as age, gender, geographical origination and other demographic characteristics.
We work hard to protect the information provided by, or collected about, the users of our Service, from unauthorized access, or alteration, disclosure or destruction. In particular:
a. We encrypt much of that information using SSL.
b. We review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to our systems and the information collected and stored therein
c. We restrict access to personal information to those of our employees, contractors and agents, who need to know that information in order to process it for us, who are subject to the obligation of strict confidentiality as relates to that information, and who will be subject to discipline, including termination if they violate that obligation.
Our Privacy Policy applies to all of the services offered through our Service. However, our Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the following:
a. services offered by other companies or individuals on non-IliaUNI websites or applications, including any such websites or applications which may be referenced on or linked from our Service; and
b. the information collected by, and information practices of, other companies, organizations or individuals, who advertise our Service, editorial or advertising content, or any of the products or services offered on our Service, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.
We regularly review our compliance with this Privacy Policy and with any and all industry-recommended best practices, as well as applicable laws and regulations. When we receive a formal written complaint, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up.
Our Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time, in which case the Privacy Policy you view will be the most current version and the date of the latest such revision will be identified at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
