Your Personal Information
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide to us through the Website.
Protecting your personal information is one of our core responsibilities and of paramount importance to our online business.
At the KipperTree site, we realise the importance of protecting the privacy of any information collected by our team regarding the users of our site, in particular, any information that is capable of identifying an individual via their personal and financial information. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website and how we use this information. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Internet Privacy Policy is in addition to the other terms and conditions applicable to our website that come under the category Site Terms of Use. If you have not read these, we strongly recommend that you do so.
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
This Privacy Policy affects only the KipperTree site and not any third-party websites that advertise within the site.
Like most website operators, KipperTree collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website. From time to time. KipperTree also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on KipperTree Wanted Adverts. KipperTree only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Personal Information
Certain visitors to the KipperTree website choose to interact with KipperTree in ways that require KipperTree to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that KipperTree gathers, depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a profile at http://www.kippertree.com to provide a username, email address and password.
Personal information is collected only from subscribers who have knowingly agreed to such an act and occurs at registration. We do not collect or use information about you from publicly available websites such as Facebook or Twitter. Subscribed users can remove their information by deleting their account within their profile.
You have the right to ask our organisation, whether or not we are using or storing your personal information, for a copy of your data. This is called the right of access and is commonly known as making a subject access request or SAR.
You may request information held about you, with the exception of information required by law, to be permanently deleted from our servers by emailing us with the title Request Data Deletion.
Non-registered users placing wanted adverts on our site will have their information automatically deleted after 180 days. Should you wish to delete a wanted advert prior to 180 days you can do so by emailing us with the title Request Delete Wanted Advert.
Use of Information
Personal information that visitors submit to our website is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.
