  • Visitors are also able to send emails to us through the website. Their messages will contain the user’s screen name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message.

When a visitor provides personal data to us, we will use it for the purposes for which it was provided to us as stated at the point of collection (or as is obvious from the context of collection).

We recognise that your information is valuable and we take all reasonable measures to protect your information while it is in our care.
