For all visitors to this site, we keep your (very) approximate location by logging the IP address that you are using. This is very common practice for all websites that you use, even if it is not usually mentioned anywhere.

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our products and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided. (x)
• From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail. We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests. (x)

However, for the points marked (x), we will only do this if you have willingly opted IN to receive this information. By default, you will be opted OUT of receiving this information unless you tick the box to opt in, during Event Organiser registration.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Our website contains links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways:

• During Event Organiser registration, look for the box that you use to opt IN to receiving further information, and leave this unticked, which it is by default.
• If you have previously agreed to us using your personal information for direct marketing purposes, you may change your mind at any time by loggin in, then going to 'My Details' where you can untick the box, and click the Update button. If you are unable to login for any reason and still wish to cancel, go to our Contact page and use a different way to get in touch.

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting only if you tell us that you wish this to happen.

Since all the information we hold about you is controllable by you (via the Event Organiser page), you are free to change it at any time. Please Contact us if you wish us to destroy your Event Organiser record completely, which will of course be done free of charge.
