Privacy Statement

Personal information
We intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. In general, you can visit our web site without telling us anything at all about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and address. We will always let you know what you need to tell us and how we might use that information. Some pages may require you to have registered for a user name and password; this helps us to understand what kinds of people are using our services so we can serve everyone more effectively.

If you choose to give us personal information via the internet that we may need (to correspond with you, or to process an order, for example) it is our intent to let you know how we will use that information. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes!

Web site usage information
Some data concerning numbers of visits to our web servers may be logged and later used for analysing overall visitor trends but you cannot be personally 'tracked'. Our web server does not store any information that could be used to identify you individually without your express prior permission. We have implemented these practices for our entire web site.

Information security and quality
We intend to protect the quality and integrity of any personally identifiable information that you give us permission to keep. We have implemented appropriate technical and managerial procedures to maintain information that is secure, accurate, current, and complete. We will make a sincere effort to respond to your requests to correct personal information inaccuracies in a timely and courteous manner.

Web browser 'cookies'
There are various technologies, including one called 'Cookies', which can be used to provide you with personally tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a web site can send to your web browser, and may then be kept for a while on your computer or terminal. Cookies cannot contain virus or program code and, despite some internet rumours to the contrary, have never posed any kind of threat to either your computer system or your personal privacy.

Some of our pages may need to use cookies and similar technologies so that we can better serve you when you return to our site. For example, our 'Log in' option uses a Cookie to keep you logged in, and the 'Log out' option simply removes that Cookie again. You can, if you so desire, ask your web browser program to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. Please remember, though, that much of our web site relies on cookies to function correctly.
