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.
