This Privacy Policy explains how the Company collects, uses, and, in certain circumstances, shares your information when you use the Services.

1. AUTOMATIC INFORMATION
When you use the site, statistics about your website visitors are automatically collected. The Company monitors statistics such as how many people visit your website, the visitor’s IP address, pages visited, entry and exit points, from which domains visitors come, and browser types. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to users and visitors of the site.
2. COOKIES
A “cookie” is a piece of data transferred to your computer that identifies you as a unique user. Cookies enable sites to recognise your browser and to provide features such as customisation. The site uses cookies to improve the quality of the service and make the browsing experience better for users. In order to provide you a seamless experience during a particular session, the site stores information about that session in cookies. You can edit your browser options to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. If you do not accept cookies, however, some features of the site may not function properly.
3. SHARING INFORMATION
Some of your information is visible to other users. The site may use third parties to offer other or enhanced Services. Except as described in this privacy policy, you will be notified when your information may be shared with third parties and be able to opt out of sharing your information. You understand and agree that the Company may access, preserve, and disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal processes, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect the Company rights and property, or that of the Company affiliates or the public. In the unlikely event of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights generally, the Company may not be able to control how your information is treated, transferred, or used.
4. THIRD-PARTY COMPANIES
The site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that the Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites. The Company encourages users to be aware when they leave this site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information to learn more about their information practices.

Therefore, you acknowledge and consent to the sharing of your information with the Company and Company-related entities worldwide.
5. SECURITY
The site uses industry-standard security measures to protect your information so that it is not made available to unauthorised parties. The Company cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to the Services and you do so at your own risk. Unauthorised entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time so please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of the site’s physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. The Company may use outside companies to display ads on the site and these ads may contain cookies collected by the ad companies. The Company does not have access to this information. Also, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be totally secure.
