We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
We understand that all users of our site are quite rightly
concerned to know that their data will not be used for any
purpose unintended by them, and will not fall into the hands
of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict.
If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or
that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell
us.
We are constantly vigilant for credit card or other fraud.
We report all charge backs to a credit reference agency. If
you have any reason to seek the return of money paid, please
contact us rather than your credit card issuer.
Information may be unlawfully available to hackers and snoopers.
We take no responsibility for this. The risk is no different
from a similar risk in a bricks and mortar establishment.
Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose
to a third party, any personally identifiable information
collected at this site. If this policy should change in the
future (most unlikely), then we shall provide notification
in advance, and the opportunity for all users to indicate
whether or not they would prefer that we do not provide the
information to third parties as proposed.
Here is a list of the information
we collect, and why it is necessary to collect it:
1. Basic identification
and contact information, such as your name and contact details
This information is used:
1.1 to provide you with the services which you request;
1.2 to maintain our accounts;
1.3 for billing;
1.4 to enable us to answer your enquiries;
1.5 for verifying your identity for security purposes;
1.6 for marketing our services and products;
1.7 to help make our web site as useful to you as possible;
1.8 information which does not identify any individual may
be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide
class information, for example relating to demographics or
usage of a particular page or service.
2. Your domain
name and e mail address
are recognised by our servers and the pages that you visit
are recorded. This information is used:
2.1 in a collective way not referable to any particular individual,
for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our
site;
2.2 to send you news about the services to which you have
signed up;
2.3 to tell you about other of our services.
3. Financial
information, including credit card details
This information is used to obtain payment for goods and services
you have ordered from us. This information is never actually
received by us. The page where this information is given by
you is controlled by our contract merchant service provider,
PayPal. Such information is automatically encrypted, and
later decrypted for use. It never touches our system.
Note: your Internet browser
may produce a warning message. This is automatic and does
not reflect on the high level of security built into our system.
4. Information
volunteered by you
for a particular purpose, for example a personal profile,
survey, job application form, or contest. This information
will be used exclusively for the purpose for which you have
provided it. Information is disclosed to third parties only
where the third party concerned qualifies in whatever way
the web site page requires. We will make absolutely clear
on the face of the page, any intention to publicise the name
of a winner.
5. Business information
This is information given to us in the course of your business
and ours, such as in relation to your application to partner
with us or advertise with us. Such information is retained
for business use only. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality
of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It
is not used for any other purpose. We expect you and any partner
to reciprocate this policy.
6. Disclosure to Government and their agencies.
We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required
to give information to legal authorities if they so request
or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search
warrant or court order.
7. Information request
At any time you may review or update the personally identifiable
information that we hold about you, by contacting us. To better
safeguard your information, we will also take reasonable steps
to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections
to your information.
