1. 1. This Website generally does not require its users to provide any personal information such as address, name or any other information, which will make it possible to identify the individual, in order to access or view this Website.
2. 2. However when the Company receives any personal information through this Website in a special manner (such as receiving queries by email or receiving information necessary for the "E-card" or "Tell a Friend" services or "E-mail Distribution Services" in the case that you desire to receive such services), the Company will collect and use the information provided to it to, as appropriate, respond to your queries and requests and provide the "E-card", "Tell a Friend" or "E-mail Distribution Services". We will only hold information for the "E-Card" or "Tell a Friend" services until those services are completed when we delete the information immediately.
   
   Without collecting your personal information, the Company would not be able to provide the services you may seek.
3. 3. If you, as a user of this Website, give us personal information about another person (for instance in connection with the "E-card" or "Tell a Friend" services) you represent that you are authorised to do so and agree to inform that person who we are and how to contact us should they wish to gain access to any information we may hold about them.
4. 4. The Company will not disclose or otherwise share the information which the Company receives in relation to the "E-card" and "Tell a Friend" services.

The Company may share this personal information with the Company's related bodies corporate and affiliates for these and other internal purposes and, where appropriate, with our agents and contractors who may provide services to the Company in connection with the provision of products or services that you may seek from this Website.
   
   The Company may also let other non-affiliated third parties use your personal information for the joint marketing and promotion of products, services or events that may be of interest to you. However, if you do not want us to let other non-affiliated third parties use your personal information, you may opt-out by notifying the Company.
