Privacy Statement

It is our policy to respect and protect the privacy of our web site users. We will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about our web site users without their permission. This policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use it.

There may be instances when we will ask you for personal information such as your name, telephone number or email address. We will only do this when we require that information for specific purposes, for example to answer an enquiry you have submitted or send information that you have requested. Users wishing to advertise on our web site or have details included in one of our web site directories, are required to provide their name and address for administration purposes.

If at any time after giving us personal information you decide that you no longer wish us to hold or use this information, you are free to notify us, and we will make all reasonable endeavours to remove the information promptly.

A condition of use of our web site is that you acknowledge and agree that in certain circumstances we may be obliged to disclose personal information relating to you to third parties, for example, in order to conform to any requirements of law or to comply with any legal process.

To help us monitor and improve the performance of our web site, we use IP addresses from our server log files to analyse trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We do not use cookies for collecting user information from the site and we will not collect any information about you except that required for system administration.

Our web site contains links to other sites, which are outside our control and are not covered by this privacy policy. If you access other sites using the links provided, your information may be used by the operator of the site in accordance with its privacy policy, which may differ from ours.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online - for example, via forums or chat rooms - information can be collected and used by third parties who are unknown to you or to us. Therefore, we give no guarantees in relation to the security of information, which you disclose online, and you acknowledge and agree that you do so at your own risk.

We reserve the right at our discretion to make changes to this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes.
