Use of Information:
As a general policy, no personally identifiable information,
such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected from
your visit to the Site. However, certain non-personal information is recorded
by the standard operation of the Company’s internet servers. Information such
as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is
gathered in order to enhance your online experience.
Your personal information (if collected through a purchase
or enquiry) is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer
required or has no use, as detailed in the Data Protection Act 1998. Every
effort has been made to ensure a safe and secure form to email submission
process but we advise users using such form to email processes that they do so
at their own risk.
Email marketing campaigns published by this website or its
owners may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Subscriber
activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and
evaluation. Such tracked activity may include; the opening of emails,
forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times,
dates and frequency of activity. This information is used to refine future
email campaigns and supply the user with more relevant content based around
their activity.
In compliance with UK GDPR Laws and the Privacy and
Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 subscribers are given the
opportunity to unsubscribe at any time through an automated system. This
process is detailed at the footer of each email campaign. If an automated
un-subscription system is unavailable clear instructions on how to un-subscribe
will be detailed instead.
The Site’s various mailing lists, downloads, special offers,
contests, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact
information such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address, demographic
information such as your age and gender, and personal preference information
such as your preferred software and interests. Information submitted at the
time of submission will be used by the Company only as necessary for our
legitimate business interests, including without limitation the improvement of
our products, services and the contents of the Site.

and/or billing arrangement except as necessary to complete and satisfy its
rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement,
and/or as otherwise authorized by a user.
The Company may disclose user information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the
Company’s rights or property, other users of the Site, or anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities.
