YOUR DETAILS |
|
|
|
|
3.1 |
In order to provide you with the Service we: |
|
|
3.1.1 use small text files known as
"cookies" to monitor their use of the Service and make it more
convenient for them to use. Web servers commonly store cookies on your
computer's hard drive when a person visits a website, allowing the web site
to recognise them when they revisit that website. Visit4's cookies do not
store any personally identifying information about a User and are used by us
solely (a) to provide us with information about Users' preferences so that we
can optimise the Service; and (b) to provide information (mainly in
statistical form) to third parties (such as advertisers) that provide content
for our Service and to other third parties who may be able to offer products
and services to Users, to enable us and such third parties to determine
appropriate content for the Service and to offer Users products and services
based on their preferences. Specifically, we assign a cookie called a
"cftoken" to every User each time s/he uses the Service, to
recognise the User as s/he moves from page to page. Cftokens accordingly
enable Users to make use of the Service without having to log in repeatedly
as a Member User, to their inBox or otherwise when using different parts of
the Service. They also store their preferences so that the Service remembers
these each time the User visits. We also use cookies to monitor the use of
our inBox service, such as tracking what advertisements Users visit, whether
or not they are signed into their inBox These cookies remain on Users’ PCs
until they expire or are deleted. They will do this harmlessly at the time
that their automatic expiry or deletion date occurs. Our cookies cannot read
other information saved on the hard drive of your computer and are not used
to distribute viruses or harvest e-mail addresses. We, like other online
businesses in Europe, are obliged to comply with the European Union Directive
on Privacy and Electronic Communications, implemented in the UK as the
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003
("the Regulations"), in force in the UK on 11 December 2003. The
Regulations require us to provide you with clear and comprehensive
information about our use of cookies (as set out above) and to give you the
opportunity to refuse the use of such cookies. If you would like to configure
your browser in order to reject cookies, you will find instructions on how to
do so at www.allaboutcookies.org. However, please note that if you do this,
then much of the functionality of the Service described above will not work
effectively or in many cases at all. While we are pleased to provide a link
in good faith to the information at www.allaboutcookies.org, please be aware
that this is a Third Party Site and Visit4 cannot accept any responsibility
for its contents, as explained in paragraph 7.2 of this Contract. |
|
|
3.1.2 disclose your email address or the
email address of your inBox to third parties each time you request content
via our Service from such third parties; and |
|
|
3.1.3 may access the contents of your
inBox to obtain additional information in order to determine your preferences
and provide these to third parties that provide content for our Service and
other third parties who may be able to offer products and services to you. It
is your responsibility to elect whether to contact such third parties by
other means, and whether to do so anonymously, and we accept no
responsibility therefore. |
|
3.2 |
Except as set out in paragraphs 3.1.3, 3.2 and 3.3, we will not
disclose the contents of your inBox or Your Details to third parties without
your consent. We reserve the right to disclose the contents of your inBox,
Your Details and/or any information we have about your use of any inBox
and/or the Service to third parties (including without limitation the police)
without prior notification if we are compelled to do so by any law,
regulation or court order, or in our reasonable opinion consider that to do
so is justified in order to deal with any unlawful or undesirable use by you or
on your behalf of the Service or any inBox. |
|
3.3 |
If we or our telecommunications provider (like other service
providers), are required by the Anti Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001
or any similar law or regulation to retain Your Details or any information
about your use of the Service or any inBox or the contents thereof, we will
do so without further notification to you. |

THIRD PARTY MATERIAL |

the property of the copyright owner and the material may not be reproduced in

broadcasting. Neither the Ad Content nor the Third Party Sites are under the
control of Visit4, and you acknowledge that Visit4 is not responsible for the
accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, decency, or any other aspect of the
Ad Content or the content of Third Party Sites. Visit4 has not reviewed any
or all of the Ad Content or the Third Party Sites and therefore the inclusion
of such Ad Content or a link to a Third Party Site does not imply endorsement
of the Ad Content or that Third Party Site by Visit4 or any association with
its operators. If you follow a link to any pages or sites which are not part

guarantee the accuracy of any posting or submission, regardless of whether
the posting comes from a user, from a celebrity or "expert" guest,
or from a member of our staff. |
|

By posting or submitting content to Visit4 and/or to the
Service, you: |
|
