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 customise our site's
content, layout, services and for other lawful purposes. These uses improve our site and better
tailor it to meet your needs. Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis.

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 UK. The laws on holding personal data in the UK may be
less stringent than the laws of your Country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorised
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.
A Special Note About
Children Children are not eligible to use our
services unsupervised and we ask that children(under the age of 14) 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.
