CollectFair is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors and users of the CollectFair website. This commitment cannot and does not extend to individual user web pages hosted at CollectFair, and does not extend to companies, individuals, organisations or other websites to which there are links.

  1. Consent
    • Your use of this web site signifies your consent to us collecting and using personal information about you as specified below in accordance with this Policy. Should we choose to change our Policy for any reason, the changes will be posted here, so that you are always kept informed of how we collect and use your personal information, and when we may disclose it.

  2. How we collect information about you and how it is used
    • CollectFair collects information about users when they sign-up to be a member. When a user becomes a member we record the users name, postal address, email address and telephone number. These details are used for contact, billing and administrative purposes related to the operation of CollectFair. Contact is made for reasons relating to customer support, account upgrades, new feature announcements, virus alerts, and maintenance disruptions to CollectFair services. Users may opt-in to receiving by email the occasional CollectFair newsletters. Personal information given to CollectFair is not passed to anyone outside CollectFair for marketing or commercial purposes.

    • When the "Email this to a friend" service is used, the email addresses given as "Your email" and "Friend's email" are recorded. These are used to prevent abuse of the "Email this to a friend" service, and are not used for marketing or commercial purposes.

    • Each time a user signs-in, the time and their internet IP address are recorded. This information is used for investigation of any abuse of the CollectFair system. No marketing or commercial use is made of this information.

  3. How you can check the information we hold
    • Personal information entered when you sign-up can be viewed and edited by signing in and going to the "Change email, name or address" page. It is the requirement of users to keep their personal and contact details updated.

    • You have a right to access the personal information that is held about you.

    • Upon your written request, we will deactivate your account, and remove your information from our active databases. Please contact us through the contact page. We will require confirmation through your registered email address before your account will be deactivated. Note that even when you deactivate your account, your details will remain stored to allow resolution of future disputes or legal issues. In addition, the presence of your details in our "backup" files means that you should not expect your information to be completely removed from our system.
