Privacy
Policy
Information Ideas Limited ("Information Ideas")
does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals except
when such individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary
basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered
from contributions to our chat rooms. Personally identifiable information on
individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third
parties.
Information Ideas may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour in order
to measure interest in the use of the various areas of the network and to inform
advertisers of such information as well as the number of users that have been
exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Information Ideas will
provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.
Also, users should be aware that Information Ideas may
sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based
services through an Information Ideas site. Information Ideas is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties and users should check the
applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable
information.
Additionally, users should be aware that when they
voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g. user name, e-mail
address) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas of the Information Ideas
network, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in
the user's communication, can be collected and correlated and used by third
parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third
parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Information Ideas.
Cookies
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and
data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Information Ideas’
internet servers or through the use of "cookies."
"Cookies" are small text files a web network can use to recognise
repeat users, facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use of the network,
track usage, follow network behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow
content improvements and targeted advertising.
Cookies are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files.
Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no
meaning outside the assigning network. Users should be aware that Information Ideas
cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or
third parties hosting data for Information Ideas.
If a user does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there
is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept
the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary to
provide the user with certain features (e.g. customised delivery of information)
available on the Information Ideas web network.

party ad servers
Our network uses ad servers (such as DoubleClick) to serve
