Broadly speaking, we use personal information
for purposes of administering our business activities, providing the products and services you requested, to
process your payment, , to monitor the use of the service, our marketing and promotional efforts and improve our

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 Can You Access and Correct Your
Information?
You may request access to all 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

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 &
Contests
From time-to-time our site may request
information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests 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 shipping address), and demographic information (such as post code, 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.

unsupervised and we ask that children (under the age of 16) 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 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
