Other information we may collect

Social buttons. On many of the pages of the Allison Buckley site you will see ‘social buttons’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for: Pinterest, Facebook ‘Like’, and Instagram. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Allison Buckley. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on Allison Buckley’s site. So if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting Allison Buckley, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook. 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.

External web services. We use a number of external web services on the Allison Buckley, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example, to display slideshows we sometimes use SlideShare; to show videos we use YouTube. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

Email tracking. Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all, for example personal correspondence or emails with invoices attached. Other emails we send we put in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site and we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who didn’t click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked then you should unsubscribe from the Allison Buckley newsletter.

Our website and PDF Portfolios which we send out may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.
