Other information we collect
Social buttons – On some of the pages of the EMB Group site you may see ‘social buttons’. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There are buttons for: Twitter and LinkedIn ‘Share’. In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of EMB Group. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on EMB Group’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 EMB Group’s website, 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.
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.
Communigator / Gator Leads – We use this service to collect IP addresses to identify organisations that visit our website. We then might look up a relevant contact for the organisation and contact them via telephone or direct mail.
