-         their username;

-         a valid email address;

-         their forename and surname;

-         Other data can be supplied optionally.

An initial one time use password will be emailed to the User along with a link to automatically reset the password.  It is highly recommended that Users click on the auto reset link as this will automate their log-in and password reset process.

In the event that a User provides false, inaccurate or incomplete information, GroupSetUp shall have the right to cancel their account immediately once it becomes aware thereof.

Once the registration procedure is complete, the User will be able to access and configure their Account.

Description of the Service

GroupSetUp is a group collaboration and networking platform that allows Users to perform social networking and commerce functions. Users can consolidate & aggregate their online social interactions with certain other social networks. They can perform a range of tasks from blogging, private chat, instant message (IM), send newsletters, status updates, share files and images, etc. Professional and Enterprise Users are more likely to extend the social media management functions with applications that enable bespoke workflows to be added to the platform.

How we use cookies and other data gathering

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive.  Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.  Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual.  The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used.  This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs.  We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not.  A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies.  Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.  This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

The automatic data collection tools we employ, such as cookies, embedded web links and web beacons collect certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and the address of the website from which you arrived at our website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer, which is a unique address assigned to your PC by your Internet Service Provider or Information Systems Department on a TCP/IP network) and clickstream behavior (for example, the pages you view and the links you click). These tools help make your visit to our website easier, more efficient and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return.

Our website may include widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our site in order to provide specific services from another company (e.g. displaying the news, opinions, etc). Personal information, such as your email address, may be collected through the widget. Cookies may also be set by the widget to enable it to function properly. Information collected by this widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it. Our widget may have an import contacts feature to help you email your contacts. At your request we will search your email address book to help you import your contacts to our website.

A cookie cannot read personal data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Indeed, the only Personal Information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. Accepting the cookies used on our website may give us access to information about your browsing behaviour, which we may use to personalize your experience and track user traffic patterns, and to merge this information when you register. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. You may browse most of our website without accepting cookies from GroupSetUp; however, some website functionality may be lost by disabling cookies on your computer. Other GroupSetUp web pages, particularly those which require a login and password, require cookies and cannot be used when you have disabled cookies in your browser.

Online Advertising: certain companies may help us deliver interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our users.

Embedded Web links: emails from GroupSetUp often use links designed to lead you to a relevant area on the Web, after redirection through GroupSetUp’s servers. The redirection system allows GroupSetUp to change the destination URL of these links, if necessary, and to determine the effectiveness of our marketing initiatives. In emails, these web links may also allow GroupSetUp to determine whether you have clicked a link in an email, and this information about the interaction may be connected to your GroupSetUp.com profile. If you do not want GroupSetUp to collect this information, do not click links in an email that GroupSetUp sends.

Web Beacons: in addition, GroupSetUp uses web beacons in conjunction with cookies to understand user behaviour. Web beacons are simply a convenient way of gathering basic statistics and managing cookies, and do not give away any extra information from your computer. Turning off your browser’s cookies will prevent web beacons from tracking your specific activity.
