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.
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.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for the purposes of administering
our business activities and responding to your requests.
When we collect information we use it to maintain the most up to date possible database of our client base, their contact details and trade requirements. We collect it from the relevant person or authority on an appropriate basis.
We do not use that information as a direct marketing profile, but do use it for the purpose of distributing newsletters, administering our business and providing information updates which we believe are in the interests of good communication.
We aim to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up to date and that appropriate security measures are adhered to in respect of that information and its protection.
We apply the principles of privacy and protection of sensitive information in all our dealings.

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.
We do not advise personal/business details or government identifiers to other parties, other than when the law required us to do so.
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.
