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;]

(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].]2
(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

[(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 [EMAIL])]3;]
[(d) provide other companies with statistical information about our users - but
this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and]
[(e) OTHER USES.]4
We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any
third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
(4) Other disclosures

(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);
and
[(d) to the purchaser or seller (or prospective purchaser or seller) of any business
or asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling or purchasing.]5
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], [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
(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.
[We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure servers. All
electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted [using
SSL technology].]7
[You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. We will not ask you
for your password.]

[(8) Your rights9
[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 [EMAIL])
