IP ADDRESSES AND COOKIES
We may collect information about your
computer including where available your IP address, operating system and
browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to
our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and
patterns and does not identify any individual.
For the same reason, we may obtain information about your
general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive
of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your
computer's hard drive. They help us to improve our Site and to deliver a better
and more personalised service. They enable us to:
| • |
estimate our audience size and usage pattern; |
| • |
store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our Site according to your individual interests; |
| • |
speed up your searches; and |
| • |
recognise you when you return to our Site. |
You may refuse to accept cookies by
activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting
of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access
certain parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so
that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to
our Site.
WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
When you supply any personal information the
data that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination
outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed
by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or
for one of our service providers or advertisers. Such staff may be engaged in,
among other things, provision of support services. By submitting your personal
data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in
accordance with this privacy policy.
All information you provide to us is stored
on our secure servers.
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. |

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 and we or they may contact you about
these by post, telephone or email.
If you are an existing user, we will only
contact you by electronic means (e-mail or SMS) with information about services
similar to those which we have previously notified to you.
If you are a new user, and where we permit
selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by

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,
please tick the relevant box situated on the form on which we collect your data
(the registration form).
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.

any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding
company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 736 of the UK Companies Act
1985.

in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or

If ConstantComedy LLP or
substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case
personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the transferred
assets. |
| • |

data in order to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce or
