policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business
practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do
We Collect?
When you

aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.

We do not collect credit card information on Findawebsite.co.uk, however
when you link to sites listed on our site you may be asked for credit

2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilises a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?")
and web server log files to collect information about how our Web site
is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may
include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web
site.
How Do We Use the
Information That You Provide to Us?
We use personal information to notify you
about important changes to our Website, new services, and special offers
we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do
not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the "unsubscribe
link" provided on the newsletter.
Personally identifiable information or business information will
not be shared with parties except as required by law.
What
Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's
computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part
of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site
can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences
allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web
site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies
sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually set to accept cookies.
However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the
configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have
your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our site
will not function as effectively when viewed by the users.
A cookie cannot
retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer
viruses.
How Do We Use
Information We Collect from Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to
differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies
to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow
us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and
which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback
to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies
do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do
not intentionally store any personal information that your browser
provided to us in your cookies.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to
the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on
the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically
collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data
known as traffic data so that data (such as the Web pages you request)
can be sent to you.
Sharing and Selling
Information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that
uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal
details) with anyone except to the extent it is necessary to process
transactions or provide services that you have requested.
How Correct Your
Information?
You may request to update your personally identifiable information that
we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing us at the
usual address.
What About Legally
Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We may
disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words,
when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our
users and the Public.
What About Other Web
Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to
or from our Web site or the information or content contained therein.
Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to
information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to
another web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your
browsing and interaction on any other web site, including web sites,
which have a link on our Website, is subject to that Web site's own
rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the
right to amend this privacy policy at any time with or without notice.
Our Commitment To Data Security:
Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our
computers in the United Kingdom. The laws on holding personal data in
the United Kingdom may be less stringent than the laws of your Country
of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain
data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in
place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Choice/Opt-In/Opt-Out
This site
allows visitors to unsubscribe so that they will not receive future
messages. After unsubscribing we will discontinue sending the
particular messages as soon as technically feasible.
Surveys &
Competitions
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or competitions. Participation in these surveys or competitions is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not
to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and email address), and demographic
information (such as postcode, age level). Contact information will be
used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of
this site.
A Special Note About
Children
We
ask that children (under the age of 14) do not submit any personal
information to us. If you are a minor, you can use this service only in
conjunction with permission and guidance from your parents or guardians.
Acquisition or
Changes in Ownership
In
the event that the web site (or a substantial portion of its assets) is
acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets, and
may be part of those assets that are transferred.
Policy Modifications
We may
change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If/when changes are made
to this privacy policy, we will email users who have given us permission
to do so. We will post any changes here, so be sure to check back
periodically. However, please be assured that if the Privacy Policy
changes in the future, we will not use the personal information you have
submitted to us under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is materially
inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, without your prior consent.
