This information is used for internal purposes by our technical support staff, our agents and sub-contractors.
Ip Addresses And Cookies

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's hard drive. They are used to track how and when visitors use the Website and help us to improve the Website and deliver a better and more personalized service. They enable us:
- To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.

Where We Store Your Personal Data
Certain portions of your personal data will be stored on servers in the European economic area and may also be transferred to and processed on servers situated in this jurisdiction. From time to time your data may also be transferred to and processed on servers situated in other jurisdictions for the purposes set out below, including backup and disaster recovery.

Where you have chosen a password which enables you to access certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and for preventing any unauthorized use of your account. We do not permit you to share your user name and password with any other person nor with multiple users on a network.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to or uploaded on the Website, which takes place at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.
How We Use Your Information
We will use your personal information (such as your name, postal or email address or telephone number) for specific purposes which may include:
- Verifying your identity and age. This is because we need to know that you are who you say you are and that you are at least 18 years of age, or of at least the minimum permitted age for participating in such activities if you live or reside in a jurisdiction that stipulates a minimum age restriction that is greater than 18 years. By submitting your information, you authorize us to confirm the accuracy of the information you have submitted against government-issued ID or other reasonable means.

Such notification will be by email or by SMS text messaging (if you have opted in to such processes) and for these purposes we may enhance or merge information collected from you on the Website with data obtained from third parties.
At any time, you can easily opt in to or opt out of receiving further marketing from us or our carefully selected third parties by updating your account profile. Third party content may from time to time appear on the Website or be accessible from the Website via links to other websites.

We may also use such aggregate information to help advertisers reach the kind of audience they want to target (for example, women in London), to improve the Website and for product development and marketing purposes generally. We may make use of the personal data we have collected from you to enable us to comply with our advertisers' wishes by displaying their advertisement to that target audience.
