Information We Collect
The data we gather can be divided into two categories: "voluntarily provided" data and "automatically collected" data.
When you use or take part in any of our services or promotions, we will consider any information you knowingly and voluntarily provide to us as having been provided by you.
Information that is "automatically collected" is any data that is sent by your devices when you access our services and products.
Log Data
Our servers may automatically record the common information supplied by your web browser when you visit our website. The Internet Protocol (IP) address of your device, the type and version of your browser, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, how long you spend on each page, and other information about your visit may all be included.
We may also automatically gather information regarding faults you encounter while using the site, as well as the circumstances that led to them. These facts might relate to your device's technical specifications, what you were attempting to accomplish when the error occurred, and other technical specifics concerning the issue. You might or might not be informed of such errors, even as they happen, that they have happened, or what kind of error it is.
Please be advised that although while this data might not be used to individually identify specific people on its own, it might be possible to do so when combined with other information.
Device Data
We may automatically gather information about your device when you use our website or engage with our services, such as:
- Device Type

Depending on how your device and software are configured specifically, the data we gather may vary. To find out what information your device's manufacturer or software supplier makes available to us, we suggest reading their policies.

We may combine personally identifiable information that has been voluntarily provided and automatically collected with background data or research data that we have obtained from other reliable sources.

Security of Your Personal Information
When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we will protect it within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our services. For example, ensuring you do not make your personal information publicly available via our platform.
How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information only for as long as we need to. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this privacy policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information such as an email address when contacting us about a specific enquiry, we may retain this information for the duration of your enquiry remaining open as well as for our own records so we may effectively address similar enquiries in future. If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
However, if necessary, we may retain your personal information for our compliance with a legal, accounting, or reporting obligation or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific, or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
