The following privacy policy governs the collection, security, use and disclosure of your personal information by us.
What information do you collect?
We may collect personal information about you depending on your use of the site. We collect this information for a limited range of purposes, depending on the nature of the information collected. Information is collected;

- By this site's server relating to your navigation of this site. The types of information collected include details of the browser you are using, your IP address, the URL you have come from and your domain type and server.
- By "cookies" used by this site. A "cookie" is a software application that enables us to customise services to each user. It tracks your navigation in the site and stores that information on your hard drive. You should be able to "opt out" of receiving cookies by setting your browser to recognise when a cookie is offered and opting out of receiving it. Check with your browser manufacturer or internet service provider to find out how you can alter your browser's settings. We do not use "cookies" to collect and distribute information for any other purpose.
- In the 'Contact Us' section of the site, where you can use an online form to submit enquiries to us. To process enquiries, we request that you complete the online form by providing personal information such as your name, email address and contact numbers. If you send an e-mail instead, we will require the same information.
What Do You Do With the Information?
We may keep and file all other personal information you provide via this website to;
- Create profiles of users so we can tailor and improve our site for its users and customers. For example, information collected via "cookies" and navigational data helps us to provide you with information of interest.
- Follow up on a user's interest in particular products and services offered via this site, including informing the user about our services that may be of interest, or to contact the user as part of the process of business development.
- Market products or services directly to you. However, at all times when we contact you for the purpose of marketing, we will give you the opportunity to decline further marketing communications from us. You can also use the 'Contact Us' section of our site to request that we do not use your information for direct marketing purposes and we will ensure that we do not use your personal information in this way.
Emails will only be sent to you when;
- you have elected to receive e-mails; or
- we need to respond to queries you make via e-mails or the 'Contact Us' section of the site; or
- we need to maintain your account; or
- you request customer support.
If we wish to use any of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above, we will only do so with your express consent.
Do You Disclose Information to Others?
No. The information that we collect from you is strictly confidential. We will not disclose your personal information to any person or company other than to enable the delivery of your purchase.
We may combine your navigational data with the navigational data of other users and use the aggregated results to monitor usage & performance of this site and to improve this site. However, this aggregated information will not be identified as personal information. We do not otherwise disclose your personal information unless required to do so by law, for safety reasons or where we reasonably believe that you are in breach of the terms of use of this site or engaged in illegal activities.
What Rights Do You Have to the Personal Information that We Hold?
You may restrict our use of your personal information. As set out above, you can ask us to:
- stop using your personal information to contact you about our products and services; and
- stop us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
We aim to keep your personal data accurate and error-free. At any time, you may contact us via the "Contact Us' section of the site to ask us to provide you with a list of the data we hold about you, and copies of that data. We will provide you with the data within 30 days of receiving your request. You can at any time ask us to correct the data we hold. Your request should specify which data is inaccurate, and what corrections you want us to make. Corrections may also specify data that is incomplete, and the information that is required to update the data. We will make the corrections you ask for within 30 days of receiving your request.
You can ask us to remove personal information we hold about you. We will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify your personal information. We will comply with your request as far as technically possible and within the limits of our accounting and legal obligations within 30 days of receipt of your request.
How is My Personal Information Stored?
We take reasonable steps to maintain high standards to ensure that the information collected from users of our site is:
- protected from unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure;
- stored in a secure environment; and only accessible to authorised persons.
We do point out, however, that it is not possible to guarantee that any data transmission (whether it be information that you transmit to us or that we transmit to you using your personal information) over the internet is 100% secure. Therefore, any online activity by you in connection with the site is conducted at your own risk despite our endeavours to ensure the security of information that is transmitted to us.
Other Privacy Considerations
There are some aspects of your internet usage that we have no control over. Please be aware that you are responsible for (where applicable) maintaining the secrecy of your username, passwords and account information. You should also close your browser after you have finished a user session to prevent others from retracing your most recent internet activity.
