Privacy Policy

(The below Privacy Policy is released under the Creative Commons licenses by Automattic — you can use this policy but, be nice, and include a link to their site.)

Please read the following statements carefully, as they address the rules of engagement between us.

This Website is owned and operated by John-Paul Flintoff. The following terms and conditions govern your use of this site and all other sites and products listed herein.

For the purpose of this agreement and for ease of use, a reference to “the Company” shall be a reference to John-Paul Flintoff and a reference to “the Website” shall be a reference to all websites owned by me, and their respective products, employees and agents.

By accessing this website and any of the Company’s properties, you are acknowledging and accepting the conditions of this Privacy Policy for all of the Company’s properties.

These terms of use are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the Company without notice. Your use of any of the websites after any changes are implemented constitutes your acceptance of the changes. As a result, we encourage you to consult this page frequently.

Your privacy is important. I have a few fundamental principles:

I do not actively collect sensitive information about you, including information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or criminal history. I will take steps to protect appropriately any sensitive information I do receive.

We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect my rights.

I don’t store personal information on my servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

I aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

It is my policy to respect your privacy regarding any information collected while operating my websites.

WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, I collects (via my websites) non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. My purpose in collecting this is to better understand how visitors use my websites.

The Company also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. I absolutely don’t use such information to identify visitors, however, and don’t disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described above.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Certain visitors to the websites choose to interact with me in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that I gather depends on the nature of the interaction. I collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor. I do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

I may possibly disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on my behalf or to provide services available on the website and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using my websites you consent to the transfer of such information to them. I will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, I will disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when I believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the my property or rights, or the property or rights of third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of any of my websites and have supplied your email address, I may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on. We expect to keep this type of email to a minimum, unless you have separately joined an email newsletter. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Company takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

AGGREGATED STATISTICS

I may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to my websites. I may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, I do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small text files of information stored by your internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. I may use cookies to collect browsing data, for example, to keep track of your preferences and profile information and to collect general usage and volume statistical information. These cookies do not collect personal, confidential information and are not spyware.

You may set your internet web browser to refuse cookies or to remove cookies from your hard drive.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. I use cookies to help identify and track how visitors interact with my site, and preferences. If you do not wish to have cookies on your computer, simply set your browsers to refuse cookies before visiting – but please be aware that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

ADS

I have no plans to put ads on my website.

SURVEYS & CONSENTS

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as post code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

YOUR CONSENT

By using any of my website you consent to my collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

CHOICE/OPT-OUT

You may choose to stop receiving my newsletters at any time, by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails, by updating your communications preferences via our email service provider, or you can email me using the link below.

TESTIMONIALS

If you provide a testimonial, you give your consent for the use of your name and the service to be displayed on any of my websites or other marketing materials, together with the content of the testimonial that you provide. (Thank you, by the way!)

TERMINATION

I may cancel or terminate your right to use some or any of my sites or any part of those sites at any time without notice, and at my discretion. In the event of cancellation or termination, you are no longer authorized to access the part or parts of the sites affected by such cancellation or termination. The restrictions imposed on you with respect to material downloaded from any of the sites, and the disclaimers and limitations of liabilities set forth in these Terms of Service, shall survive.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. I will not knowingly collect personal information from them. If I discover that a child has provided personal information, I will use reasonable efforts to delete this information. If you have reason to believe I may have accidentally received personal information from a child under the age of 13, please immediately email me using the link below.
