WEBSITE
PRIVACY POLICY
We guard
your privacy like it was our own.
We
are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this
policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) What information do we collect?
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
about any transactions carried out between you and us on or in relation
to this website, including information relating to any purchases you
make of our goods or services;
- (c) information
that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us and/or
subscribing to our website services and/or email notifications;
(2) Information
about website visits
- We may collect
information about you 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 on 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 cookie 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 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, we
may use your personal information to:
- (a) improve your
browsing experience by personalising the website;
- (b) send information
(other than marketing communications) to you which we think may be of
interest to you by post or by email or similar technology;
- (c) send to you
marketing communications relating to our business, or the businesses
of carefully-selected third parties which we think may be of interest
to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email
or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer
require marketing communications to be sent by emailing us at mike@skeletonleaf.co.uk;
- (d) provide other
companies with statistical information about our users - but this information
will not be used to identify any individual user;
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;
- (c) in order
to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing
information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing
credit risk);
Except as provided
in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third
parties.
(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 (including the United States, Japan and other 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
- We will take
reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of
your personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet
is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data
sent over the internet.
- You are responsible
for keeping your password confidential. We will not ask you for your
password.
(7) Policy amendments
- We may update
this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our
website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy
with any changes.
- We may also notify
you of changes to our privacy policy by email.
(8) Your
rights
- You may instruct
us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision
of such information may be subject to the payment of a fee (currently
fixed at £10.00).
- You may instruct
us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. In practice,
you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your
personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an
opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing
purposes. You can also instruct us not to use your personal data for
marketing purposes by email to mike@skeletonleaf.co.uk at any time.
(9) Third
party websites

links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies
of third party websites.
