IP Addresses and Cookies |
| 4.1 |
We may collect information about your computer including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual. |
| 4.2 |
For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. A "cookie" is a small piece of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enables the server to collect information from the browser. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve the Site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. |
| 4.3 |
You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to the Site. |

Where we store your personal data |
| 5.1 |
Given that the internet is a global environment, using the internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Some of the processors engaged to process personal data may be based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Therefore, by browsing the Site and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of your data in this way. |
| 5.2 |
The data that we collect from you will be stored on our dedicated server managed and hosted by Visarc Ltd in the UK. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take such steps as we consider reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy. |
| 5.3 |
Any payment transactions will be processed by Secure Hosting Ltd in accordance with their security and privacy policies. You should check their privacy and security policies before submitting any data to them so that you know what use may be made of your data and what operational and technological measures they have in place to safeguard your data. |
| 5.4 |
Any sensitive information (such as credit or debit card details) you enter is encrypted and protected with 128 Bit encryption on SSL. When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear on your screen and you will notice the web address "https:…". Other details such as your name and address are sent over the internet without being encrypted, and this means of transmission is never guaranteed to be completely secure. Information you send over the internet is, therefore, sent at your own risk. |
| 5.5 |
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. |
