WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

- personal Information you provide to us on an individual
basis during Registration or Booking our Services, as described
above. In addition, if you choose to correspond with us by
email, we may retain the content of your email messages together

- website use information collected as you and others browse

We maintain the highest standards of security, encrypting
your information using Secure Sockets Layer SSL, 128 bit encryption
services, however even with this the transmission of information
via the internet is not completely secure. So, whilst we will
do our best to protect your Information, we cannot ensure the
security of your data transmitted to our Website. Any transmission
is at your own risk. Once we have received your Information
we will use strict procedures and security features, storing
your information on our secure servers to prevent unauthorised
access.
Similar to other commercial websites, our Website utilises
a standard technology called 'cookies' (see
the explanation below, 'What Are Cookies?')
and web server logs to collect information about how our Website
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 Website, and the websites visited just before
and just after our Website. We, our advertisers and ad serving
companies may also use small pieces of code called 'web
beacons' or 'clear gifts' to determine
which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how
users responded to them.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, 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 website 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 website to access the
cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to
you by other sites.
HOW DO WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM COOKIES?
As you browse on our Website, the Website uses its cookies
to differentiate you from other users in order to prevent you
from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you 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 Website and which parts
of the Website are most popular. This helps us gather feedback
in order to constantly improve our Website and better serve
our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal
information about you and we do not generally store any personal
information that you provided to us in your cookies.

'opt-ins' at the point of Registration;
- if you have given your consent by 'opting in' if app, at

about products, services and special offers that you request
from us, or that we feel may be of interest to you or to
