Awareness

What do we collect?
In general our Virtual Community sites exist to fulfil a communication purpose.
By this we mean that they are there to inform and entertain, rather than to sell products and services. If transactions are undertaken
(eg for listings in business directories, domain registration, etc), daVinci design & publishing ltd
makes a conscious effort to keep to a minimum the information required and we are confident
that we ask for no more than what is necessary to complete
the transaction and/or update the site. In order to tailor subsequent communications,
we may also ask you to voluntarily provide information
regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics,
experience of services, and contact preferences (email, telephone, fax). Due
to the personal nature of this information, submission is optional wherever possible.

What
is it used for?
daVinci design & publishing ltd uses your information
to better understand your needs and to improve
service. Specifically, we use information
to complete a transaction, to keep in contact with you, to
make you aware of new or existing services and
to maintain the Virtual Community website.
We do retain credit card numbers other than to process payment. From time to time, we may also
use information to contact you for market research or
to provide marketing information which we think would be
of particular interest. Where possible we will always give
you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing
or market research contact. We will also follow local requirements,
such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited
contact, where applicable. Data collected online may also
be combined with information provided
in any offline telephone or print based surveys.

Do
we share your information?
daVinci
design & publishing ltd will not sell, rent, or lease your
personal information to others. Unless we have
your permission or are required by law, we will only share
the personal data you provide online with other daVinci design
& publishing ltd entities and/or business partners who are
acting on our behalf for the uses described above. Local country
laws and policies are applied where they differ from those
in the U.K.

daVinci
design & publishing ltd gives you the choice
We will actively seek to secure your permission should we
ever wish to share your information with third parties that
are not acting on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy.
As a company we are committed to offering our customers
a wide-ranging choice of products and services, but should the supplier of those products
and services be a third party or reseller we will inform you
of this fact and you will then be duty bound by their respective
privacy policies.

the correct person to be contacted at the appropriate address
with a tailored service or product.
In client protected areas (eg g-mail, what's on) we will provide you with access

associated services so that you may view, update or amend
