Privacy Policy
We are dedicated to protecting the privacy of our website visitors; this policy outlines our procedures for handling your personal data. Our site employs cookies. By browsing the site and accepting this policy, you agree to our use of cookies according to the specific terms set out here.
1. What information do we collect?
We might gather, store, and utilize these types of personal information:
(a) details regarding your computer and your activity on this site (such as your IP address, physical location, browser software and version, operating system, referral path, visit duration, page views and site navigation);
(b) data related to transactions made between you and us via this site, including details on any purchases of goods or services;
(c) information that you submit to us when registering for an account.
2. Cookies
A cookie consists of a file containing a unique identifier (a sequence of letters and numbers) sent by a web server to a browser and stored locally. This identifier is sent back to the server whenever the browser requests a new page. This process allows the web server to identify and monitor the web browser.
We use both “session” and “persistent” cookies on this site. Session cookies are erased from your device once you shut your browser. Persistent cookies stay stored on your device until they are manually deleted or reach their set expiry date. Each type helps us enhance your browsing experience.
We employ Google Analytics to assess website usage. This service generates statistical data and other insights about site activity through cookies stored on user devices. This information is used to produce comprehensive reports on site performance. Google stores this data. View their policy at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
Most web browsers permit you to decline all cookies, while some allow you to block only third-party ones. For instance, in Internet Explorer (version 9), you can reject cookies via “Tools”, “Internet options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies”. However, blocking every cookie will likely have a detrimental effect on the functionality of many websites.
3. Using your personal information
Personal data submitted through this website will be utilised for the objectives defined in this policy or on relevant site pages. We may use your personal information to perform these tasks:
- (a) manage the website; (b) enhance your visit by personalising the site content; (c) facilitate your access to site services; (d) deliver goods bought through the site and provide purchased services; (e) issue statements or invoices and collect due payments; (f) send you standard (non-marketing) business communications; (g) send you specific email alerts that you have requested individually.
Should you submit personal data for publication on our site, we will publish and use that specific information in accordance with the permission and licence you provide to us.
We will never share your personal data with any third-party entities for their direct marketing purposes unless we have obtained your explicit prior consent.
4. Disclosures
We may share your information with our staff, officers, agents, vendors, or subcontractors as reasonably required for the goals listed in this privacy policy. Furthermore, we may reveal your personal information under the following conditions:
- (a) as far as we are legally obligated to do so; (b) regarding any current or future legal proceedings; (c) to establish, exercise, or protect our legal rights (this includes sharing information with others for the purposes of preventing fraud and managing credit risks).
Outside of the provisions mentioned in this privacy policy, we will not supply your data to third parties.
5. International data transfers
The data we collect may be stored, processed, and moved between any countries where we function to allow us to use the data as described in this policy. Your information might be sent to nations that do not possess data protection laws equivalent to those within the European Economic Area. Additionally, details you submit for publication will be visible on the internet and accessible globally. We cannot prevent others from using or misusing such public data. You explicitly consent to these transfers.
6. Security of your personal information
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent the loss, theft, or alteration of your personal data. We store all provided information on secure, password-protected and firewall-guarded servers. All electronic transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Note that data transmission over the internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the safety of data sent this way. You must keep your login details and password secret. We will never ask for your password except at login.

In practice, you will usually agree in advance to our use of data for marketing, or we will give you a clear opportunity to opt-out.
