| Collection of your personal
information |
The types of personal information that we
collect from you will depend on how you use
Refer. Unless
you specifically tell us, the Refer will never know who you are.
You may, however, elect to tell us things that you want us
to remember. We hope that, like many of our users and customers, you
will want to provide information about yourself to the Refer
because it will help us to make our services more valuable to you.
The choice of how much personally identifiable information
about yourself you disclose to the Refer is left completely up to
you. But however you choose to interact with the Refer, you have
our commitment to your privacy, as stated above.
When applying for Refer
newsletter membership we will collect details such as your name,
email address, age, gender and some details of your personal
interests. Some of this information is essential for us to be able
to accurately identify who is using the service and as such is
mandatory. Other types of information are collected to help us
profile who is using the services and what their interests are.
Information of this type is often optional - you need only fill it
in if you wish to do so. Refer will endeavour to inform you
what the information will be used for.
We value your trust in Refer: in all cases, your
information will be held in strictest confidence.
Refer records other information as well. Whenever a page is
requested from our web server, we record the time, date and URL of
the request, along with information on the browser software that is
being used. This information is used to improve the structure and
performance of Refer, and is not used in any way to uniquely
identify a user.
Refer may also use cookies. Cookies are pieces
of information that a website can transfer to an individual's
computer hard drive for record keeping. Cookies can make using
Refer easier by storing information about your preferences on a

the services that Refer offers. The use of cookies is an industry
standard and you'll find most major websites use them. Most Internet
