Privacy
Introduction
CCL takes
your online privacy seriously. You may visit this site anonymously as
often as you like without providing any personally identifying information
(such as your name, address or e-mail address). We do not collect
personally identifying information from you except when you specifically
provide it and we seek to protect all the information we receive. If you
ask to be added to a newsletter, forum or other subscription list, we may
use a cookie in order to be able to provide those services. We may also
use cookies to identify your browser so that it can provide the best link
to this site. We never share your e-mail address with third parties
except, in rare instances, as required by law, to protect our site or to
enforce compliance with our Terms of use and disclaimer. Please read below
for a further explanation of what information CCL gathers and how it is
used.
Information You Provide
As you
use the site, you will find places where we ask you to provide us
voluntarily with information about yourself. In most of these cases,
we seek only your e-mail address so that we can send you the specific
information you request (eg newsletter subscription). In other cases, such
as a competition or prize draw, we may request your e-mail address, name
(along with your contest answer) and physical address so that we can
contact you by name and deliver a prize in the event that you win.
Your participation in these activities is purely voluntary; if you do not
wish to reveal your details you may simply ignore these offers. If
you participate, we will not use your details for any purpose other than
as stated and will not sell or rent your details to any third parties.
At other
places, CCL may invite your feedback, opinions or suggestions and provide a
a link for e-mailing your response or posting it in a forum. We may
also ask for your country, city or town of residence to gather
geographical information about the visitors to the site and to send you
appropriate information. Any email you send to CCL will include your
e-mail address and possibly also your name in the "from" line. We promise
to use information we receive in this manner only for the purpose of
responding to your questions or suggestions and will not send you
unsolicited offers or pass your details to anyone else.
We may
ask for your name and other details on the forum / message boards - a
facility hosted on another of CCL's sites where you can participate in discussions on particular
subjects by posting written comments which are then entirely public and/or
private messages to us or to other members. We ask for your name so
that other people reading your comments will be able to determine which
comments come from which people. You may provide a nickname or alias if
you prefer so that your identity is not disclosed. If you do voluntarily
disclose personal information (eg e-mail address) on the forum or message
boards, that information can seen, collected and used by others and may
result in unsolicited messages from other people or companies. Whether or
not you choose to participate anonymously, you are still legally liable
for the material you post, including claims of libel, invasion of privacy
and copyright infringement.
If you
have previously provided us with your email address and later decide that
you do not want us to have it, please follow the unsubscribe instructions
that are contained in the subscription confirmation email message that you
received from us.
Cookies
Cookies
are electronic tags that most major web sites place on your computer in
the process of sending your computer a file, such as a web page. CCL
also uses these. A cookie is a unique bit of computer code that is
placed on your computer when you visit a particular section of our site.
It tells us when a computer that has previously visited our site returns
and it identifies your computer's browser and operating system to help us
make the best connection. We may also use cookies to manage forum access and
to keep track of your subscriptions to newsletters. Cookie that we
place on your computer do not tell us anything about your visits to other
web sites or your other use of the Internet.
If you
would prefer not to receive any cookies, most browsers can be set to
refuse them or to alert you when one is being sent. However, some sections
of this site may not function properly if the cookies are disabled.
Links
to Other Sites
Our site
contains links to other sites that are not under our control. They
do not necessarily have the same privacy policies and may place their own
cookies on your computer. This practice is standard on the Internet
and we do not control cookies placed on your computer by third parties
whose advertising or links appear on our site.
Security of Private Information
It would
be great if we could say that the information you provide us is absolutely
safe. Unfortunately, various well-publicised cases of computer
security breaches make it impossible for anyone to be so confident. The
most we can say is that we take reasonable steps to protect the
information you provide us from theft, alteration or unauthorized
inspection. In addition, in rare instances, we will disclose private
information to necessary parties as required by law, to protect our site
or other visitors or to enforce compliance with our Terms of use and
disclaimer.
Parents and children
Parents /
guardians should be aware that if children voluntarily disclose their
names, e-mail addresses or other information on forums / message boards or
via messaging facilities, such disclosures may result in unsolicited
messages from other parties. We suggest that children are discouraged from
providing such information on this site or elsewhere.
