PRIVACY NOTICE

We place great importance on preserving the privacy of our website visitors; this policy clarifies how we will handle your personal data.

(1) What data do we gather?

We may gather, hold and utilise the following types of personal data:

  • (a) details about your device and about your visits to and use of this website;
  • (b) details connected to any use you may make of our complimentary legal notices;
  • (c) details that you give to us for the purpose of registering with us;
  • (d) details that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services; and
  • (e) any other information that you choose to send to us.

(2) Cookies

A cookie is a piece of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This allows the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We use both "session" cookies and "persistent" cookies on the website. We will use the cookies to keep track of you while you navigate the website and to enable our website to recognise you when you visit.

Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, while some browsers allow you to reject just third-party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer, you can refuse all cookies by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy", and selecting "Block all cookies" using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

(3) Using your personal data

Personal data submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

We may use your personal data to:

  • (a) administer the website;
  • (b) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website;
  • (c) enable your use of the services available on the website;
  • (d) send you non-marketing commercial communications;
  • (e) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;
  • (f) send to you marketing communications relating to our business or the businesses of carefully-selected third parties which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications);
  • (g) provide third parties with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and
  • (h) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website.

Where you submit personal data for publication on our website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.

(4) Disclosures

We may disclose information about you to any of our employees, officers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.

In addition, we may disclose your personal data:

  • (a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
  • (b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
  • (c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
  • (d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset that we are (or are contemplating) selling; and
  • (e) to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal data where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal data.

Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.

(5) International data transfers

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.

Information which you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area.

In addition, personal data that you submit for publication on the website will be published on the internet and may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.

You expressly agree to such transfers of personal data.

(6) Security of your personal data

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.

We will store all the personal data you provide on our secure servers.

Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to the website).

(7) Policy amendments

We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.

(8) Your rights

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal data we hold about you. Provision of such data will be subject to:

  • (a) the payment of a fee (currently fixed at $10.00); and
  • (b) the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity.

We may withhold such personal data to the extent permitted by law.

You may instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes, by sending an email to us. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.

(9) Third party websites

The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third-party websites.

(10) Updating data

Please let us know if the personal data which we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.
