Collection of personal information

We collect your name, email address and IP address when you submit a comment to ‘Have Your Say’ on an article. We collect this information to identify you as the person submitting to SuperLiving and also for our records.

SuperLiving records some limited personal information about you in the form of cookies. This information is stored on your computer and recalled by our website to identify you as a returning SuperLiving Room member. For more information, see below.

From time to time, SuperLiving will invite you to participate in surveys. Your participation in these surveys will be anonymous to us. Your answers will not be linked to you in any way.
