Privacy Policy

1. WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?

In order to help develop the Website and improve the user experience, two types of information about visitors are collected: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. The primary goal in collecting this information is to provide a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using the Website.

(a) Personally Identifiable Information:

This refers to information that provides specific details about who you are. Personal information is requested when you leave a comment, subscribe to the mailing list, start a live chat, or send feedback. This information might include your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. This information is neither collected on behalf of, nor shared with, any third-parties. While Rachael Louise Bond will endeavour to protect the confidentiality of any submitted email addresses or other personal information, she makes no warranties as to her ability to do so and expressly disclaims any liability for any direct or indirect damages resulting from submissions being made to the Website.

(b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information:

This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. This information may be collected in several ways and is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. Such information may include the Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the Website from which you have come, the URL you next go to, the browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, pages visited on the Website and any searches performed. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

This Website is part of a global project aimed at identifying the senders of spam email. Details of this project may be found here. Under certain circumstances a record may be made of your IP address if it is believed that your use of the Website is for the harvesting, or collection, of email addresses. This is in accordance with Section 5 of the Terms Of Service which may been seen here.

2: THE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 18

You must be at least 18 years old to use this site. The Website does not knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors under 18 years of age. If you are the parent or guardian of a minor under 18 years of age and believe that they have disclosed personally identifiable information, please use the contact form here.

3: THIRD PARTY WEBSITES ACCESSIBLE FROM THIS WEBSITE

Other sites accessible through this Website have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s privacy policy. Rachael Louise Bond is not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties and those practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. Additionally, other companies that place advertising on the Website may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies. You should contact these advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.

The Website provides sponsored links to third-party web sites. If you click on a sponsored link or banner ad, a “window” or “frame” containing a third-party’s web site may appear in the foreground with this Website in the background. Unless you are on this Website, any time that you moved to a new window or frame you should assume that your personal information is being collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the windowed site’s privacy policy (if any).
