Any information and data our clients choose to collect using our Services is used, disclosed and protected by them according to their own “privacy policies” and any applicable law.
We have neither power nor control over any information or data that our clients choose to collect. Our clients own and retain all rights to such, and we are not in any way responsible for our clients’ uses of any information and data that they choose to collect via our Services.
Our Terms of Services prohibit us from using information and data collected by our clients, except as necessary to provide and improve our Services, as permitted by this Privacy Policy and the law.
Our Terms of Services grant us permission to process, store and manage information and data collected by our clients via our Services, on our service providers servers. We may assist and work for our clients on their demand.
In any case where we use our own Services for any purpose of collection information and data we are solely responsible for, that such is used, disclosed and protected in compliance with this Privacy Policy. Any information and data collected by us are processed, stored and managed by us on our service providers’ servers.
Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our website, site or any page published via our Services or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:
We use and allow our clients to use social authentication like Facebook and Google accounts for pre-populating sign up forms and for easy participation on apps and pages published via our Services. This will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information.
When you decide to use social authentication as way of identifying yourself towards specific clients or us, you accept that we will record a unique identifier of you in our Services, that will store your permission to give such personal information (such as your name and email address) to a specific client or us, so that the next time you visit any page created by that specific client or us, we are able to easily send such instructions again with your permission.
When using social authentication, the authenticator (like Facebook and Google) may collect your IP address, information about which page you are visiting and may set a cookie to enable the authentication to function properly, such is governed by the “privacy policy” and other “policies” of any third party authenticator.
This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details, and also all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect you to reciprocate this Privacy Policy.
This information is used:
We may keep information, which forms part of our business record for a minimum of six years. That is because we may need it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. This is also within the period where our tax collecting authorities may demand to know it.
This information is recognised by our servers and the pages, published via our Services, that you visit and is recorded. We shall not under any circumstances, divulge your e-mail address to any person who is not an employee or contractor of ours or our clients and who do not need to know, either generally or specifically. This information is used:
Information you voluntarily provide or send to our clients or us, by interacting on any website or page published via our Services by our clients or us or posting to a forum or blog, is stored on our servers. This information refers to but not limited to personal information about you or your business such as contact information, phone number and e-mail address. It may also refer to information about any transactions, both free and paid.
Please understand that when you sign in using an account or in any other way authenticate your identity on any website or page published via our Services either by our clients or us, the information you provide is not anonymous to our clients or us anymore, neither is your visit.
We may use software embedded in our website or pages published via our Services by us or our clients (such as JavaScript) to collect information about pages you view and how you have reached them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, how we perform in providing content to you, and any sharing activity you perform including any referral information and activity generated based on such shares.
This information is never taken by us either through our website or otherwise. At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of [WorldPay / SagePay / PayPal / MoneyBookers] or some other reputable payment service provider. That page may be dressed in our “livery”, but it is not controlled by us. Our staff and contractors never have access to it.
Many companies offer certification and an icon or other small graphic to prove to site visitors that the site is safe. Some certify to a high level of safety. Others are more concerned about taking our money than to provide a useful service. We do not handle information about your credit card, hence we do not subscribe to any such service.
To assist in combating fraud, we share information with credit reference agencies, so far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money.
Third parties may advertise on our web site or pages published via our Services by our clients or us. In doing so, those parties, their agents or other companies working for them may use technology that automatically collects your IP address when they send an advertisement that appears on our site to your browser. They may also use other technology such as cookies or JavaScript to personalise the content of, and to measure the performance of their adverts. We do not have control over these technologies or the data that these parties obtain. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of these third parties.
Our web site or pages published via our Services by us or our clients is a publishing medium in that anyone may register and then publish information about himself or some other person. We do not moderate or control what is posted. If you complain about any of the content on our web site or pages published via our Services by us or our clients, we shall investigate your complaint. If we feel it may be justified, we shall remove the content while we investigate. Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content which offends you. If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.
Although we do not disclose your personal information to any third party (except as set out in this notice), we do receive data, which is indirectly made up from your personal information, from software ”services” such as Google Analytics and others. We may also obtain or acquire information about you that is available on the Internet from any other third party or “services” provider.
If you provide information to us or our clients on our website or via pages published via our Services by us or our clients with a view to it being read, copied, downloaded or used by other people, we accept no responsibility for what that third party may do with it. It is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might see your information. If it is available to the entire world, you have no control whatsoever as to how it is used.
We use and allow our clients to use social media features and integrations such as “like” buttons, “share this” buttons or mini apps - all to enrich your visit and participation. These features may collect your IP address and information about which page you are visiting, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to these features. Your interactions with these features are governed by the “privacy policy” and other “policies” of any third party of which the feature is linked.

We use a service provider to provide the support system and collect such information form you.
When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us and use it to resolve your complaint. If your complaint requires us to contact another person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and, if we do, what that information is.
We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.
With your permission we pass your email address and name to selected associates whom we consider may provide “services” or products you would find useful. You may opt out of this service at any time by instructing us via options given when we asked you the permission.

As an exception to this, we have the right to disclose your first name and URL of your affiliate connection to other affiliates and to any other person or organisation, on and off site. The reason is solely to enable us to mention winners and others whose performance as an affiliate is in some way outstanding.
We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
This confidentiality Policy has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every jurisdiction in which we aim to do business.
