Kreo Limited respects the confidentiality of its on-line visitors and recognises the importance of providing a secure environment. It is therefore important to make available to on-line visitors an explanatory document outlining how their personal details are collected, processed and utilised (hereafter the "Privacy Policy"). This Privacy Policy explains the ways in which Kreo Limited safeguards the confidentiality of its on-line visitors. Please note that the Kreo Limited Privacy Policy does not apply when you access other sites via the web links located on Kreo Limited internet sites, as we have no control over the activities of these other sites. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy may vary from time to time; please consult this document periodically so that you are aware of any changes.

Kreo Limited Privacy Policy respects the Data Protection Act 1998.

Kreo Limited may own other domain names which in turn may link to this Internet site. Furthermore, we may add Internet sites which may not be listed, but which provide a link to this Privacy Policy and respect the terms within it.

Kreo Limited only collects personal information with your consent. The personal data compiled could include your name, your street address, your telephone number, your email address, your age and/or your date of birth. We do not require this information if you are just visiting our sites, but you may be unable to access certain areas of the sites without registering, or receive any elements such as our newsletter or forum membership without providing a certain amount of personal information.

Any visitors purchasing products or services at our on-line stores will have to submit additional information, usually a valid credit card number and card expiry date.

Your web browser or your client software may forward to Kreo Limited geographical information or data concerning your computer's capabilities. Kreo Limited may use this data to produce global statistics on its clients. This information would never be linked to you personally or to your home.

Cookies are small data files sent to your hard disk from the Internet sites you visit. Any cookies stored on your computer could be used to recall details such as your password or a previous registration.

Kreo Limited may use cookies on its Internet sites. This allows us to speed up your future activities by reducing the length of time you would otherwise spend typing your password or your registration details. Cookies can also be used to identify the user for commercial or publicity purposes.

Most web browsers enable you to block cookies or to receive a warning message before any cookies are saved onto your PC. If you would prefer not to have any cookies installed on your hard drive, we recommend that you consult your browser manual or the help window for more information. Cookies may, however, be necessary for running certain applications on our sites and blocking them could result in your being unable to access certain applications.

An IP address is the number assigned to your server or your computer by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). Kreo Limited may require these IP addresses for system administration purposes or for sending out information collectively. Kreo Limited may also use IP addresses to limit the use of our servers by any other system to avoid any misuse of the aforementioned servers.

We do not attach these IP addresses to any information of a personal nature which may concern you; this means that your visits to our Internet sites are registered, but remain anonymous.

We may sometimes use these IP addresses in conjunction with your ISP if we feel that the conditions of use have been violated or at the request of the legal authorities.

When you visit a Kreo Limited site and you are asked to provide information, you only share this information with Kreo Limited except where clearly indicated to the contrary. Some services are, however, provided in conjunction with partner companies. If a company other than Kreo Limited receives your personal data, you will be notified the moment this operation takes place. In any case, the transfer of personal data to another company should only be carried out with your express authorisation.

Please bear in mind that message boards and Internet sites linked to our sites could obtain some of your personal information. We would remind you that Kreo Limited Privacy Policy does not apply to these message boards or to these other sites, as we have no control over their activities.

When you fill in a form (order form, subscription to information bulletins, questionnaire, etc.), certain fields must be completed. These obligatory fields are marked with an asterisk. These obligatory fields are required by Kreo Limited to allow you access to services or for invoicing purposes should you place an order or subscribe to a paid service.

You could be asked to enter a user name and a password. We would ask that you do not use your real name, the name of another person or a name protected by copyright or a trademark as a user name.

In any case, the information you enter in the forms is only sent to Kreo Limited once you have clicked the "Send" or the "OK" button.

You can halt the transfer of data at any time by quitting the form screen, i.e. by closing your web browser; no information will then be sent to Kreo Limited.

The personal data you submit to Kreo Limited allows us to process your orders and, if you wish, to inform you of our new products, updates and/or competitions, promotional offers and special events.

With your consent, we can also send your personal information to other companies or organisations who offer products which may be of interest to you.

Finally, we can use your personal data to generate internal statistics for marketing, consumer profiles or demographic research, etc. to tailor our products and services to satisfy your requirements. Our aim is to better understand and serve our clients.

As a general rule, Kreo Limited would not forward your information to a third party without your permission. However, we may divulge this data to third party vendors in response to a product order to add you to their commercial bulletin circulation list. In some cases, we can also disclose this information if our Licence Agreements have been violated or if, in all good faith, we judge it is legally justified.

Kreo Limited allows you to monitor the way in which we use the personal information we obtain. Any promotional materials which Kreo Limited may send to you (e.g. "newsletters" or "information bulletins") contain internal mechanisms that allow us to block their forwarding.

You can also contact us if you wish to change the way in which we use your personal information, i.e. whether Kreo Limited, the parent company or any subsidiary company can send you e-mails or standard mail regarding our products or services.

If, for any reason, you are concerned about the way in which we collect your personal information, if you wish to access, amend or correct it, or if you want us to delete it from our servers, please contact Kreo Limited by e-mail at: admin@kreo.co.uk

Kreo Limited deems it a point of honour that the information you send us should be protected and should remain in its original form, i.e. unaltered. In this respect, access to all private data is very strictly monitored. Furthermore, we will do our utmost to ensure that the third parties to whom we may forward this information provide sufficient guaranties of security with regard to this personal information.

Minors under 18 years of age should not order or subscribe to any paid service on-line without the permission of their parents or guardians. We would ask parents and guardians to be particularly vigilant and to ensure that their minors do not transgress when using our sites or on-line services.

Visiting the Kreo Limited Internet sites and using our on-line services indicates your acceptance of Kreo Limited Privacy Policy. If you do not accept this Privacy Policy, please do not visit our Internet sites or use our on-line services.
