Sale of Assets

In the event that Public.Class Limited or its business, smsPULSE^tm, is ever sold, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, we reserve the right to transfer our user databases together with any personally identifiable information that we may hold, to a third-party acquiring that business or company. In the event we do so, we will notify you that this has happened and you will be given the choice to have your data or personal information deleted from the site.

Cookies

During the course of any visit to smsPULSE^tm (in the same manner as most other websites), the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Each time you visit us, our server will look up your registration details on our database using the cookie simply for the purpose of detecting that you have logged on and are authorised to use the site. The cookie is a "session" (as opposed to "permanent") cookie, and when you exit your browser session this cookie is automatically deleted (which is why you have to log on again every time you revisit the site).

You may always delete cookies; however you may lose any information that enables you to access the Web Site more quickly.

We may also use permanent cookies to collect information to help us to improve your use of our site and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors.

You may always remove your details from the site should you not agree with any change we make. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to be kept up to date on how we are using and protecting your information.

How to remove or change your personal information

At any time, you can change choices you have previously made as to the use of your personal information. Every communication we send you will contain a clearly worded "Opt-Out" or "Unsubscribe" link allowing you to withdraw your permission for future mailings.
