Other information we collect

Social buttons. On our Brand You Development site, you will see ‘social buttons’. These are for users to share or bookmark our web pages. There are buttons for: Facebook ‘Like’, Instagram ‘Like’ and LinkedIn ‘Share’. In order to use these buttons and connect them to relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Brand You Development. You need to be aware that these sites are collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on Brand You Development site. When you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering your action and may use this information. In some cases, they will register that you have visited our site and the specific pages you were on, even if you did not click on any button when you logged into our services, like Google and Facebook. You can check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how they use your information and to find out how to opt out or delete such information. This is a choice you need to be aware of and exercise.

External Web Services. We use a number of external web services on our website. Brand You Development mostly displays content within our web pages. Cookie issues and data collection issues arise on external sites which need to be addressed. 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 will have no tracking. For example, personal correspondence or emails with invoices attached as a case in point. Other emails we send, we insert tracking so that we can tell how much further 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 resend emails to people who weren’t able to read it the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked, you can unsubscribe from our Brand You Development Newsletter.
