We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this Privacy Policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
1. What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (which may include information about your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and page views);
(b) information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us and completing your profile (which may include your name, address, telephone number(s), age, gender, date of birth and email address, your relationship status, sexuality and religion, information about your bank account and Paypal account, and any photograph of yourself that you upload);
(c) information relating to any transactions carried out between you and one of our affiliate merchants (which may include the merchant's details, the product bought, and the purchase price);
(d) information that you send as a message on the website, or post on a website comments board; and
(e) any other information that you choose to send to us.
2. Cookies
2.1 We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.
2.2 We will send cookies to you (which may be stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive) for the following purposes:
(a) to enable the website to identify you while you are logged in and manage your sessions on the website (including assisting with website navigation);
(b) to enable the proper allocation of cashback to you; and
(c) to monitor and log your activity on the website.
2.3 Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking "Tools", "Internet Options", "Privacy", and selecting "Block all cookies" using the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one. For example, we will not be able to allocate cashback to you if you disable cookies.
3. Using your personal information
3.1 Personal information submitted on this website will be used for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy or in relevant parts of the website.
3.2 We may use your personal information to:
(a) administer and enable your use of the website;
(b) improve your browsing experience by personalising the website (which may include the service of targeted offers for products and services);
(c) allocate to you cashback you have earned through the website, and to send you payments;
(d) send you email newsletters and updates which you have specifically requested;
(e) provide third parties with statistical information about our users (but this information will not be used to identify any individual user);
(f) deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website;
(g) investigate the misuse or alleged misuse of the website; and
(h) display your profile, wishlists, and lists of recommended products and services.
3.3 We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.
3.4 You may make the information contained in your profile private or public using the site interface. Private information may be restricted such that it will only be available to website members, members of particular groups on the website, and/or particular members of the website.
4. Other disclosures
In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose information about you:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
(b) in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
(c) in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling.
5. International data transfers
Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate or in which our servers are situated in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information which is generally available on the site (e.g. in the public parts of your profile) may be accessed by other users in countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Economic Area.
You expressly agree to such transfers.
6. Security of your personal information
6.1 We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
6.2 We will store all the personal information you provide in our password-protected database. Passwords will be stored in encrypted form. Our servers are protected by a firewall. In addition, all pages on the website relating to your personal information will be protected using SSL technology, and account details will be stored in our database in an encrypted form.
6.3 Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.
6.4 You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password (except when you log into the website).
7. Policy amendments
We may update this Privacy Policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes.
