How we use cookies and IP addresses

The Cookies we use are as follows:
Session Cookies – we use these when you enter our website and they remain in place whilst you are using our website. A session cookie is stored in temporary memory and is not normally retained after the browser is closed. Session cookies do not collect information from a user’s computer. User Cookies – these remember your choices when using our website such as login details, what you have viewed and other actions that you perform whilst visiting our website. These cookies are retained after you close your web browser. Third Party Cookies – generally these are cookies deposited by other websites which may or may not be affiliated with us.

Links to other websites
Our Services may contain links to other websites. These websites may or may not be affiliated with us.

We have no control over any external websites therefore clicking any link which results in you visiting an external website will result in this privacy policy no longer applying and we cannot be held responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites. Controlling your personal information

When using our Services, you may choose to limit public viewing of applicable personal information through the settings located in your personal account. Among the settings available to you is the option to deactivate your account. This is provided as an alternative to deleting your account, and will prevent certain information on your account from being publicly visible.

Accounts are not deleted because the associated information is essential for the performance of the contract which our registered users enter into with us. The information enables us to ensure that aspects of our contract our not violated, such as ensuring that more than one account is not created. This is necessary in order to protect other registered users from those who would seek to utilize anonymity in order to harm or exploit them and escape restrictions so that they may do it again. It is furthermore necessary in order to retain potentially vital records in enabling our users to seek recompense through the court system.

You may request a copy of your personally identifiable account information and you may request that any identifying information of yours be removed from public view. We may need you to specify the identifying information you need removed and its public location, in order for us to remove it on your behalf.

We do not view your private conversations unless they are reported and cannot verify whether or not private conversations you have participated in contain personal information. If there is personal information of yours contained within a private conversation, you must report it using the report function in order for it to become visible to our support team for removal.

If you discover any of the information that we hold for you is incorrect or incomplete, that you are unable to change yourself, please contact us as soon as possible so the necessary changes can be made.
