- Privacy commitment
We are committed to safeguarding your privacy online.
Please read this Privacy Policy to understand how your personal
information will be treated. This policy may change from
time to time so please check it periodically.

Information collected
- If you wish to subscribe to this website, we ask
for some personal details. These details include your
job title and company (which we use to build up a profile
of our readership) and your day time telephone number
(so we can speak to you should any problems arise with
your subscription).
- We may also ask you whether you would like to receive
promotional emails and mailings from us about our other
products or services or from other companies about their
products and services which may be of interest to you.
- We will only pass on your details to other companies
if you have indicated that you would like to receive
further information from them. If you would like to
revise the information provided to us, or feel what
we currently have on record is incorrect, you may update
the information by emailing us. [Click here].
- We may from time to time ask you for further information
in order to update our records or for particular purposes.
We will always tell you how we will use any further
information received from you. We may share aggregate
data, based on users' demographics, interests, and behaviour
with our advertisers or business partners but this aggregate
data will not contain identifiable personal data.
-
Log files
- Every time someone visits our web site a log file
is generated on our computer. This contains information
such as the user's IP (Internet Protocol) address, how
long that user spent on the site and which parts of
it they looked at. We collect this information to help
us diagnose problems and administer our systems, to
report aggregate information to our advertisers, and
to audit the use of our site (e.g. what part of the
world users are connecting from, or what ISPs are being
used).
- We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable, which means that you remain anonymous
even though we include your IP address in our aggregate
information. However, we can and will attempt to use
IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary
to enforce compliance with our terms and conditions,
or to protect our services and other users.
-
Cookies
- Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored
on and retrieved from your computer by websites for
record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an industry
standard and you will find them in use at most major
websites.
- We use cookies in a variety of ways. For example:
- Cookies are the simplest way for us to track user
trends and patterns, such as how many people use
different parts of the website. This helps us better
understand which parts of our service users find
valuable, and know what areas to improve;
- We use cookies to recognise you when you visit
our website, and to save you time when logging in.
We also use them to keep track of your personal
preferences so you don't have to keep reminding
us of them.
- Cookies may be used to help match advertising
to particular interests. Some of the advertising
displayed on the website may be provided by outside
companies and may contain additional cookies belonging
to our advertisers but these cookies will not contain
any personal identifiable information about you.
- Most computers are set up to automatically accept
cookies. However, you can reset your browser settings
to refuse cookies, or alert you when a cookie is
being sent so you can choose whether or not to accept
it. Unfortunately, if you choose to refuse our cookies,
some parts of our service may be slower or not function
properly.
-
Use and disclosure of personal information
- If you contact us we may keep a record of that correspondence
and incorporate the information it contains into our
database.
- If we are requested by the police or a regulatory
or government authority investigating illegal activities
to provide information concerning your activities whilst
using the network we shall do so. Similarly, we will
disclose your personal data as part of a transaction
whereby our company or business assets are transferred
to a third party or if we are compelled to do so by
law.
-
How we protect information
- We take every precaution to protect your information.
To this end all personal information stored by us is
kept on a server in a secure environment. Only employees
who need the information to perform a specific job are
granted access to personally identifiable information.
- There are areas of our website where you may be asked
to transmit credit card information in order to complete
a purchase transaction or for verification purposes.
Any time we ask for a credit card number, it will be
transmitted in an encrypted format using industry-standard,
SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
-
How you can help us protect your information
- Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information online in non-protected
environments - for example on message boards, through
email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected
and used by others. In short, if you post personal information
online that is accessible to the public, you may receive
unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
- Also remember to close your browser window when you
have finished your work. This is to ensure that others
cannot access your personal information and correspondence
if you share a computer with someone else or are using
a computer in a public place like a library or Internet
cafe. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our online products
or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we
receive your transmission, we make our best effort to
ensure its security on our systems.
-
Surveys, Competitions and Promotions
From time to time we conduct surveys, competitions and
promotions and may request information from you as part
of these. Participation in these is entirely voluntary
and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose
any information which might be required.
-
Email Newsletters
- You have the option to receive various email services
we offer and in this regard we present the option to
not receive these types of communications.
- From time to time we need to send you site and service
announcement updates.
-
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If your personal information changes or if you no longer
wishes to subscribe, we will endeavour to correct, update
or remove the personal data provided to us as speedily
as possible. This can be done by emailing us us. [Click here].
