If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
We may also ask you to complete surveys and to give us feedback on our products and services. We use such information for research purposes and to improve our services, although you do not have to respond to any such surveys or other questionnaires. We may also ask our supplier to contact you on our behalf to carry out any survey.

Details of your visits to our site and the resources that you access.
IP addresses
We may collect information about your

our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions
and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on
your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to
make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide
information to the owners of the site.
Where we store your personal data
The data that we
collect from you shall not be transferred to, or stored outside the European
Economic Area ("EEA"). All data are stored in the UK. All information you
provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will
be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or where you have
chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you
are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to
share a password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Uses made of the information
We use information held about you in the following ways:
To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.
To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes.
To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so.
To notify you about changes to our service.
We may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to use your data, to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you. We or they may contact you about these by post or telephone, or by electronic means only if you have consented to this. If you do not want us to use your data in this way, or to pass your details on to third parties for marketing purposes, you may change unsubscribe entirely from our eNewsletter or other services in the ‘My Account’ section of our site.
We do not disclose information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may provide them with aggregate information about our users (for example, we may inform them that 500 men aged under 30 have clicked on their advertisement on any given day). We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in SW1). We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
