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

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 only basis. Personally identifiable
information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to
our Website, 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 details on our contact
page.
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.
Acookie 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

You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we
collect online and maintain in our database by emailing us at the details on our contact us
page.
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

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 unauthorised access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have 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 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 zip 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.
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.
