An Overview
The following privacy policy explains to you how we use your personal information and why we collect it in the first place. yougo is a social networking site and as such it is necessary for us to collect some personal details about you so that:

• the site is tailored to your needs and interests
• you can get the most out of the social-networking elements of the site

Unless we have your permission yougo will never send you marketing information from a third party for marketing purposes. No personally-identifiable information will ever be disclosed to a third party.

Your privacy is under your control and as such you can amend your details at any time and even cancel your membership if you want to.

yougo does not spam.

Information Collection
When you register for yougo we collect details such as your name, address and email.  We also ask for other educationally related information such as which university or college you are attending (or wish to attend) and which subject area you are studying (or would like to study).  If you have already applied through UCAS and are signing up via an email sent from UCAS Media then you may find that some of these details have already been filled out for you.  You are free to change and update these details if need be.  We have done this in order to make your life easier and leave you with less to fill out, therefore making registration with yougo a quick and easy process.

Additionally we ask you to fill in a personal profile page with your interests and hobbies.  You can update these at any point.

We also collect other non-personal identifiable data, which may include your IP address and what browser you are using.

How we use your personal details
We want your experience of yougo to be as relevant to you as possible so will use information collected via registration and your profile to personalise the site and any other communication we send you.

If we have your permission to do so then we may send relevant marketing information from third parties via direct mail, email or sms.  This information will come from yougo and we will not disclose your personal information to any third party.

If you have registered as a user of the jobs section of the website, provided by targetjobs.co.uk, we will share your personal data with GTI (the providers of the targetjobs.co.uk service).  Your registration details, including personal data, will be passed to GTI and held by the company to be used for the purpose of communicating with you in relation to careers advice, job and further study opportunities and for conveying related marketing and advertising solely through the targetjobs.co.uk service.  Your personal data will be held confidentially by GTI and the company will not sell on or allow other organisations to use your data, nor use the information for any purpose other than that specified.

You can of course opt out of the targetjobs.co.uk service at any time through the “My Settings” page, and your registration will be amended accordingly.

We will disclose your personally identifiable information if we reasonably believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or other government authority or to protect the rights and property of yougo, its affiliates or the public.  We may also cooperate with law enforcement agencies in any official investigation and may disclose your personally idetifiable informaition to the relevant agency in doing so.

Your control
All your details are controlled by you and who you share your information with is up to you.  You can update and change your details as often as you wish.

Remember that if you choose to share information or post personal information in the public areas (such as the forums and blogs) then this may be used by other people, registered with yougo, to send you unsolicited communications.  Please exercise discretion in deciding what information you disclose in these areas.

The security of your information depends on your protection of your account password.  Please do not tell anyone else your password to ensure nobody can access your personal information. yougo uses industry standard technology to keep your personal information safe.

Third party web adverts
Web adverts from third parties will appear on the yougo website although these should be pertinent to your needs, interests and behaviors on the site.

Technical bit
The yougo site uses cookies, which are a standard tool of the internet. They allow us to store and retrieve login information on a user’s system, help us improve the service of the site and make it easier to use for you.  If you have set up your browser to refuse cookies then you may not be able to make full use of the yougo website.
