2. Web Site Use
Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web
Site utilises a standard technology called "cookies" (see
explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server
log files to collect information about how our Web Site
is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web
server logs may include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web
sites visited just before and just after our Web
site.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide
to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering our business activities,
providing the products and services you requested, to
process your payment, to monitor the use of the
service, our marketing and promotional efforts and
improve our content and service offerings, and customize
our site's content, layout, services and for other lawful
purposes. These uses improve our Web Site and better
tailor it to meet your needs.
Furthermore, such information may be shared with
others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable
information or business information will not be shared
with parties except as required by law.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our Web
Site, new services, and special offers we think you will
find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do
not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the
link provided on the newsletter.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which
often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you
visit a Web Site, that site's computer asks your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your hard
drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's
preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your
browser only permits a Web Site to access the cookies it
has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by
other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you
may alter the configuration of your browser to refuse
cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse
cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site will
not function as effectively when viewed by the users. A
cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard
drive or pass on computer viruses.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web Site, the site
uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In
some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from
having to log in more than is necessary for security.
Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files,
allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are
most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly
improve our Web Site and better serve our clients.
Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal
information about you and we do not intentionally store
any personal information that your browser provided to us
in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every
time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address
is a number that is used by computers on the network to
identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
collected by our web server as part of demographic and
profile data known as traffic data so that data (such as
the Web pages you request) can be sent to
you.
Sharing and Selling
Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the
information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as
email addresses or personal details) with anyone except
to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or
provide services that you have
requested.
How Can You Access and Correct Your
Information?
You may request access to all your personally
identifiable information that we collect online and
maintain in our database by emailing us at the usual
address.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
We may disclose information when legally
compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good
faith, believe that the law requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose
account information when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety
of our users and the Public.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web
Site?
We are not responsible for the practices
employed by Web Sites linked to or from our Web Site or
the information or content contained therein. Often links
to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to
information on topics that may be useful to the users of
our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go
from our Website to another web site, our Privacy Policy
is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on
any other web site, including web sites, which have a
link on our Website, is subject to that Web Site's own
rules and policies. Please read over those rules and
policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web Site you consent to our
collection and use of your personal information as
described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to
amend this privacy policy at any time with or without
notice.
Our Commitment To Data
Security:
Please note that your information will be stored
and processed on our computers in the United Kingdom. The
laws on holding personal data in the United Kingdom
may be less stringent than the laws of your Country of
residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access,
maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of
information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and
secure the information we collect
online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site allows visitors to unsubscribe so that
they will not receive future messages. After
unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the particular
messages as soon as technically
feasible.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time our Web Site requests
information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information requested
may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such
as post code, age level). Contact information will
be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this
Site.
A Special Note About
Children
Children are not eligible to use our services
unsupervised and we ask that children (under the age of
16) do not submit any personal information to us. If you
are a minor, you can use this service only in conjunction
with permission and guidance from your parents or
guardians.
Acquisition or Changes in
Ownership
In the event that the Web Site (or a substantial
portion of its assets) is acquired, your information
would be considered part of those assets, and may be part
of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to
time. If/when changes are made to this privacy policy, we
will email users who have given us permission to do so.
We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured that if the
Privacy Policy changes in the future, we will not use the
personal information you have submitted to us under this
Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior
consent.
