We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information, and to satisfy our curiosity about the range of our web visitors. We also collect information about which web browsers are used and what language you have selected to use on your computer so that we can make informed decisions about upgrades to our products and the web site.

We sometimes record which pages are visited in order to help us to improve the navigation and content of our site. We record all search requests so that we can improve our site.

Cookies

We use cookies to give you access without re-registration and to provide you with a good experience when you browser our website. See our Cookie Policy for more details.

Your e-mail, postal address and phone numbers

Some of our products, and the website itself, use a registration form to collect contact information. Your contact information may be used to contact you about new or improved products, changes to the web site or company information. Your e-mail addresses will never be given or sold to any other company or person. Your identity will never be disclosed outside Connection Software unless we are forced to do so by a court order.

Mobile Numbers you supply

All mobile, cell and pager numbers that you supply to us when you send messages or that you upload to the list manager are treated as absolutely confidential to you. We never sell or give these numbers to anyone outside of Connection Software unless we are forced to do so by a court order. We never use these numbers to send unsolicited messages.

If you send unsolicited or offensive messages to anyone and the recipient complains to us directly or indirectly through a statutory body then we will contact the recipient and you to resolve the problem. In the same way that we respect your privacy we also respect the privacy of recipients - see our Acceptable Use Policy.

Disclosing your Information

Credit/Debit Card details

We do not keep, or even see, your credit/debit card details. The final part of all E-commerce transactions, where you enter credit/debit card information, is carried out on the Secure Trading payment gateway. We have chosen not to know, or record, your credit/debit card details so that there can be no possibility of us compromising your credit/debit card in any way. In the event of fraud we can, and usually do, obtain the details of the credit/debit card from Secure Trading and our bankers.
