Privacy Statement for Country Connect

Country Connect Data Systems Ltd (Registered in England 2470672) operates the Country Connect web site (the "Web site"). Country Connect Data Systems Ltd is committed to your privacy and the protection of your personal information. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site.

What Data Do We Collect?

As you navigate the Web site, we may collect and track data and information about your computer, including internet addresses or other technical identifying information, and information about your use of the Web site by using data-tracking software that tells us what parts of the Web site you have visited. None of this activity personally identifies any individual Website user.

You may also provide, either when registering as a Country Connect user, or in connection with using the services available on the Web site, personal information about yourself, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number and address.

We do not at any time collect financial payments from any individual via the Web site by credit card or by any other means.

How We Use Your Data.

We will not use your personal information to send you information about available products or services, unless you affirmatively tell us we can. If you have authorised us to send you such information, we may share your data with a third-party provider solely for the purpose of sending you such information.

We do not provide or release any personally identifiable information to third parties, except to companies you have selected to provide services to you, as appropriate to operate our business, or as stated in the Exceptions section below.

We use your IP address, packet header information, other information about your computer, and information about how you use the Web site to help diagnose problems with our servers, administer the Web site; help identify you and your activity on our systems, and gather and report broad demographic information.

We may use this information to tell you via the Web site about products or services we feel may be of interest to you and otherwise customize our Web site and services to better serve your needs.

We may also collect and track information on an aggregate (i.e., group) basis, where we will not know or keep track of precisely who you are, so that we may track customer interests, tailor our marketing efforts, and improve the services offered through the Web site. We may share this information with other parties, but when we do it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you again.

Exceptions:

We will disclose personal information under the following circumstances:
- to protect or defend ourselves in any legal action
- to an affiliate or service provider engaged to maintain or host the Web site, subject to that party's agreement to honour this Privacy Statement; or to comply with a legal requirement, or to operate our service properly or to protect ourselves or our other visitors.

IP addresses and cookies

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

- To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
- To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.
- To speed up your searches.
- To recognise you when you return to our site.

"Cookies" are small, identifying programs that your browser may accept from us initially and then send to our system at our request. You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site. Please note that our advertisers may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Site Security

The Web site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures that are designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. These measures may or may not be vulnerable to determined or unscrupulous hacking, and we do not guarantee complete security.
