(a) Access Logs
Scope
This statement sets out what we do when data about you comes to us.
Your "footprints"
When you visit our web site, our web site hosting provider automatically records certain data about you. Most other web sites do too. The data is recorded in a log of accesses (the "footprints").
Your "trail"
This log includes the web address you request, the machine from which you make the request, the web browser and version you use, your operating system and a record of each page visited.
Where parts of our web site require password access and data as to the login name, the password entered and the number of login attempts will be recorded.
No "Tracking"
In some instances it is possible from gathered data to guess who you are (we can guess by analysing the data, or to continue the analogy, by tracking your footprints in the trail).
We are interested only in the total number of footprints and where they occur on our site and we will not track you.
Limited Use of Data
We use this data for statistical purposes only. We analyse the data and use the information we glean from this analysis to help improve this site and to monitor or prevent security breaches.
We will only disclose the content of our access logs if we are compelled by law to do so.
(b) Subscriptions
If you provide any information about yourself (for example, your email address) for the purposes of a newsletter or email subscription service (or similar), we promise to use this information solely for the purposes of:
- Providing that subscription service; and
- Maintaining a database of subscribers to the subscription service; and
We will not provide your information to another person for any reason unless we are compelled by law to do so.
We will ensure, so far as is reasonable in the circumstances, that security precautions are in place at the information systems of Empire Productions to ensure this information is not misused. Subscribers may opt-out of receiving future communications; see the choice/opt-out section below.
(c) Surveys
Our online surveys ask you for contact information (like your email address). All information provided remains confidential and will not be sold or transferred to other entities, except where you have indicated your consent to this information being provided to our sponsors. You may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
(d) Competitions
We collect personal information for our competitions including your name, age, address and phone numbers. We use this information only for the purpose of the competitions. If you do not wish us to use the details you provide for the competitions in our database for future events you may opt-out; see the choice/option section below.
(e) Credit card details
We collect your card details only for the purpose of the financial transaction you provide the details for and for no other purpose.
(f) The Use of Log Files ("Cookies")
We utilise visitor log files (or cookies) on this site. Once you enter our site, a cookie follows you through your "click-stream" path. Examples of information being collected by these cookies include the number of times you come to our site, and the path you take to get there.
We use the data collected from the cookies in aggregate form only and do not collect any personally identifiable information. Use of this information helps us better understand what you are interested in at our site and this helps us identify potential for improvement to the site.
(g) Choice/Opt-out
Our site provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us or to no longer receive our service by notifying Empire Productions (usually referred to as "unsubscribing").
