Our Privacy Policy

1. What information is collected?

This helps determine how many individuals use this website, how many people visit on a regular basis, which pages are most popular, and which pages are least popular. This information doesn't indicate anything about who you are or where you live, apart from which country you are accessing this site from [determined by the suffix of your domain: .com, .co.uk etc]; it simply allows site monitoring so as to improve the services offered.

II. Personal information such as name, telephone number, e-mail address etc. This information is collected only in connection with specific activities, such as enquiries or competitions. You do not have to disclose any of this information to use this site. [make this sentence bold text, from 'this information is only']
