1. Introduction

This policy covers ethreemedia.com and parent company, eThree Media's, use of personal information that we collect when you use ethreemedia.com. The policy also gives you information about cookies; and how you may reject such cookies, if you wish.

In various places, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address) in order to receive or use services on our website, or to have us get in touch with you. Such services may include contact forms, newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards and client login functions.

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable eThree Media to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal information, eThree Media will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

2. Visitor Information

During the course of any visit to ethreemedia.com, the pages you see, along with short text files called 'cookies', are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyze the profile of our visitors.

3. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalized services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly, you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the ethreemedia.com features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse most of ethreemedia.com anonymously. For further information on cookies please visit www.aboutcookies.org.

4. Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information to ethreemedia.com, we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (as outlined in this Privacy Policy) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.

In general, any information you provide through ethreemedia.com will only be used within eThree Media and by its agents and service providers. Your information will be disclosed where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to ethreemedia.com or otherwise engage in any disruptive behavior on ethreemedia.com, we can use whatever information that is available about you to stop such behavior. This may involve informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school, e-mail/Internet provider and law enforcement agencies about the content and your behavior.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for an indefinite period, or, in the case of your request to remove such information from our systems. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely.

We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services offered by eThree Media or ethreemedia.com unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.
