By using the site, or by registering as a user of the services that we provide, you agree to this use. We ask you to read this policy carefully. Any dispute which may arise over privacy will be subject to this policy and the data protection notice (if any) incorporated into this site.

We respect your right to the privacy of the personal information you provide us on our site.

We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time. We therefore ask you to check it occasionally to ensure that you are aware of the most recent version that will apply each time you access this site.
