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.

site, and the Web sites visited just before and
just after our Web site.

Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering our business
activities, providing the products and services

monitor the use of the service, our marketing

and service offerings, and customise our site's

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.

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 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 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
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
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.
