Podfrey operates this web site in order to provide information and services. In order to do this effectively, we collect certain personal information over the internet. Such information may include your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.

Why we collect personal information
The primary purpose of the collection of personal information is to maintain our databases in order to effectively communicate with you, and provide information about our services. We may also use your personal information to provide you with information about our services, or events. If you do not wish to be contacted for those purposes please contact our Privacy Officer at the details below.

How we collect personal information
Personal information may be collected from you in a number of ways, for example:

• when you register or update an on-line profile that includes personal information such as your name and contact details;
• any electronic forms you submit to us via the website requesting us to provide services or information; and
• e-mails that you submit to us via the website.

Our website does not use “cookies” (these are files that are implanted in your hard drive by some websites to store information about your web use patterns) We may however collect anonymous information that allows us to review information about the date, time and duration of visits to our website without identifying you. The purpose of this is to enable us to monitor the effectiveness of, and constantly improve, our website.

Disclosure of Information
We may use or disclose personal information as follows:

• for the purpose of which it was collected;
• where you have consented to such use;
• to maintain our relationship with you;
  to the extent that we are required or authorised to do so by law; or
• any other purpose that we may notify you of or that you have specifically approved prior to such disclosure.

You may withdraw your consent to use your personal information at any time. To withdraw this consent please contact the Privacy Officer. Please note that withdrawing your consent may mean that we are unable to provide you with certain services.

Security
Once in our possession, we take all reasonable precautions to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We use a number of technological mechanisms to provide a secure environment. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot warrant the security of any information you provide to us over the Internet and you do so at your own risk.

We aim to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date. To assist us, please contact us if any of the details provided have changed or if you believe that the information we hold is inaccurate. You may request us to provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you at any time. We will respond to your access request as soon as possible, however, prior to disclosing any such information it will be necessary for you to satisfactorily verify your identity.
