We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

(a) information about your visits to and use of this website;

(b) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us

(c) information about your contactify link and its use

Whilst we must collect and use the following, we do NOT store, aside from that necessary to complete our service to you, the following information:

(a) the email address of people who send messages through your contactify link

(b) the name of people who send messages through your contactify link

(c) the subject or content of messages sent through your contactify link

Please Note: If you are using our widget, the widget has been developed on widgetbox (http://www.widgetbox.com) and utilises their servers to facilitate the contactify service. Our privacy policy does not and cannot cover their handling, collection, use or storage of information that is sent to or received by widgetbox as a consequence of use of the contactify widget, service and/or website.

(2) Information about website visits

We may collect information about your computer and your visits to this website such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views. We may use this information in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability, and for marketing purposes.

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We may send a cookie which may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise your computer when you visit our website, and to personalise our website for you. Our advertisers may also send you cookies.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept 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.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

(3) Using your personal data

Personal data submitted on this website (or via the contactify widget) will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website, we may use your personal information to:

(a) run the contactify service;

(c) send information to you by email or similar technology in relation to the contactify service (including, but not limited to, updates or improvements to the service);

(d) provide other companies with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and

(e) conduct proper administration of the website and the contactify service

We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

(4) Other disclosures

In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may disclose information about you:

(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;

(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;

(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.

If you are in the European Union, information which you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Union. You expressly agree to such transfers.

(6) Security of your personal data
