What kind of information is collected from visitors and how is it used?
We do not collect any personally identifiable information from the visitors to our website. We do take security and privacy seriously so it is necessary to monitor all visitor traffic patterns including IP addresses.
We also routinely examine site usage to help us develop the design and improve the layout of the website.
What information is collected from members and e-mail subscribers, and how is it used?
When you join as a member or offer your e-mail address to receive e-mails from us, we may collect information such as your name, e-mail address and/or date of birth to identify and to communicate with you as one of our members. T
he supply of personal information by the members or intended members is entirely voluntary, though without sufficient details we may not be able to serve you fully as a member.

We keep confidential all personally identifiable information you provide us. However, we do disclose your personal information under certain circumstances.
These include making disclosure when we believe, in good faith, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to:
1) comply with the law;

We use cookies to help us provide customisable services.

How do you make sure my information is secure?
Protecting your order information is a priority for us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the security of your on-line order information.
The SSL encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.
