shall be protected.
INFORMATION COLLECTED
Online Advertisements
In order to place an advertisement on the Automosphere web site,
you will need to register. We will require you to supply your
name, e-mail address, address and some other basic information.
Registrants are also presented with the option of supplying
their mobile number and the make and model of any cars owned.
Vehicle Searches
In order to conduct a vehicle search on the Automosphere web
site, we will require you to supply a selection of identifying
criteria matching your chosen vehicle, for example make, model
and price.
USE OF INFORMATION
General
We have taken measures to ensure that information supplied to
us is held securely. As a consequence - we may occasionally
request proof of identity before allowing access to your personal
information. You have the right to access all personal information
supplied to Automosphere and rectify any inaccuracies on the
information held. Further enquiries should be made to enquiries@Automosphere.com.
Any policy revisions will be posted on this page so you will
always be aware of what information we collect.
Online Advertisements
Telephone numbers and email addresses supplied as part of a
vehicle advertisement will be published within the relevant
advertisement for the duration of the subscription, to enable
a potential buyer to contact the seller.
Vehicle Searches
Vehicle information are collected in order to provide a relevant
match of vehicles against a specified search. The inclusion
of the statee enables us to provide the potential buyer with
a range of vehicles within a chosen locality, rather than vehicles
randomly spread throughout the country.
Registration
Email addresses are collected in order to send registrants their
chosen password, providing them with online access to their
registration details (available within the My Account section
on the website). The user can access this information at any
time in order to update their details or change the option on
whether they would like to receive communication from Automosphere
or selected third parties. Other registration information is
collected in order:
- To generate an overall audience profile of visitors using
the Automosphere web site. This information is then used to
assist in developing relevant content on the site as well as
ensuring that automotive trade advertisers looking to reach
specific audience groups are encouraged to place their stock
or promotions on the site.
- To limit access to the full range of fields within the search
form in order to maintain an overall faster search facility.
By providing limited access to all our search fields, notably
free text entry boxes, we are able to limit the impact on the
performance of our search engine during periods of intense user
activity. Whilst all users gain unhindered access to the key
database fields, (such as Make and Model) fields that generate
more intensive database processing (such as free text fields),
are limited to those users who register.
USE OF COOKIES
When you visit our web site we issue a "cookie" or unique identification
code that enables us to recognise your computer and store settings
to help facilitate your use of our site. If your computer is
configured to accept cookies we will be able to provide time
saving functionality such as:
- the ability to pre-fill the search form with your postcode,
thus preventing the need to re-input it each time you need to
run a search.
- unhindered access to all the fields within our advanced search
settings.
- ready access to an online record on past advertisements you
may have placed via the site.
If your computer is cookie enabled we are also able to limit
the number of occasions you are exposed to certain display advertisements
on our site (such as banners and pop-up boxes). On most occasions
this will mean you never see the same pop-up advertisement more
than twice each time you visit the Automosphere web site.
Please note you need to enable cookies in your browser in order
to place an advert. For further information on cookies or for
details on how to delete them or refuse their installation on
your computer, please visit http://www.aboutcookies.org/
Why we use cookies
Automosphere uses cookies for 4 purposes:
- To enable the delivery of functionality that improves the
ease and speed of using the Automosphere web site (see above).
- To frequency cap display advertisements, particularly pop-up
boxes. By limiting advertisement exposure we provide a more
compelling user experience for site visitors and also ensure
that advertisements on Automosphere are more evenly spread across
our user base.
- To enable us to track the relative demand for different types
of vehicles on the site. Such information enables us to better
target advertising at users searching for specific vehicles.
- To enable us to track the relative popularity of disparate
parts of our site. This in turn enables us to concentrate our
efforts on developing those parts of the site that are generating
the greatest consumer demand.
