WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Anonymous browsing

You can visit this Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your e-mail address. In this case, our Web server collects the URL, the IP address and the domain you used to access Werans, the type and version of browser and operating system you are using, and the Web site you came from. This information is used by us to measure the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, and other general statistics about visitors to Werans. We may also use this data to monitor site performance for systems administration purposes, to make this site easier and more convenient to use.

Use of Data

As part of our services, Werans provides the opportunity for you to submit personal information such as results of your searches, your comments and ratings of the agencies you have worked with, or information about jobs you have. We do not sell or distribute that information to any third party. You may make your information private by checking the Private check box if you only want to use Werans to contact clients. In this case only you and the staff of Werans will have access to this information. However your e-mail address will not be exposed to the Internet because a special online form is used. If at any time you would like your information removed from our database, please contact us. Please note, however, that when you are sending your information to any third parties, your submissions will be subject to their privacy policies. In this case, your information and cover letter are outside the Werans site and Werans control. Although Werans uses every reasonable means to protect your personal information, we are not responsible for any improper use of your personal information once it is beyond the control of Werans. Please note that we do not sell or give your personal information contained in your profile to anyone at any time.
