We do require that you truthfully provide this information if you wish to use our services. We do not want to deal anonymously.

When you visit our site we use tracking software which is commonly and readily available to all web sites. This tracking software provides us with information about the number of people visiting our site and the pages that they look at. It also provides information about the length of time they spend on each page they view. Other information that the tracking software provides includes your IP address, which is usually the address of your ISP's computer.

Other than information acquired via the site tracking software we do not currently use 'cookies' or other hidden devices to obtain and store information about you.

When you purchase goods and or services from us using your Credit Card, we open an account for you in various parts of our system. The accounts that refer to our financial transactions, that is any transaction where you ask us to provide a service or supply goods to you, or both, are kept on highly secure servers.

You can access your 'real time' account information at any time using a unique log in ID and password which is supplied to you when we open your account.

We also engage third parties to gather the relevant information required for us to receive payment from time to time. These third parties conduct safe, secure transactions using the most advanced available encryption technology and are chosen by us for their size, integrity, length of time in business and historical capacity to fulfill their obligations to both parties.

If we require demographic information about you we will ask you with a new and separate request. We will tell you at the time of that request why we want the information and you may choose whether or not to give it to us. We may also offer incentives for you to provide such information.

We will not use the information given for registration for any purpose other than those matters connected directly with our existing provider/customer relationship. We support the concept of 'opt-in' & 'opt-out' mailings and we ABHOR unsolicited e-mail (SPAM, UCE etc).
