How we may collect other information
Through your browser or device: Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your media access control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, internet browser type and version, service provider, and the name and version of the website you are using. We use this information for statistical purposes as well as to ensure that the websites function properly
Through server log files: Your ‘IP address’ is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer or device that you are using by your internet service provider (ISP). An IP address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits the sites, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the internet and is done automatically by many websites. We use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating site usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Sites. Please note that we treat IP Addresses, server log files and related information as other information, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law
Using cookies: Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a computer or device for record-keeping and other purposes. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the site. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to decline the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org. To learn more about our use of cookies, please see our cookie policy.
How we may use and disclose other information
Please note that we may use and disclose other information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat other information as personal information under applicable law, then, in addition to the uses listed in the ‘how we may collect other information’ section above, we may use and disclose other information for all the purposes for which we use and disclose personal information.​
In some instances, we may combine other information with personal information (such as combining your name with your postcode). If we combine any other information with personal information, the combined information will be treated by us as personal information as long as it is combined.
​​
Security
We use reasonable organisational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal information, and its storage, under our control. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us (note that physical mail notification will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).
Your choices
We give you many choices regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information for marketing purposes. If at any time you wish to stop receiving email marketing communications from us, please just let us know by emailing or writing to us, or by using the unsubscribe feature in the marketing email you received. In your request, please indicate that you wish to stop receiving email marketing communications from us. Please note that changes may not be effective immediately but we will endeavour to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related messages from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, and you cannot opt-out from receiving administrative messages.
