PRIVACY POLICY

1: DATA COLLECTION

When you become a member of OysterCafe.com we will collect personal information from you, including your name, email address, telephone number, date of birth etc. All of these details are handled in the strictest confidence and we will not release this information to anyone without your explicit consent.

• NB: Please see section 1.5 for exceptions

1.2 Information You Provide Through Optional and Voluntary Submissions
Participating in our message boards or forums, emailing us or other members, and participation in any polls, surveys or competitions are voluntary submissions. Any personal information you choose to share on your OysterCafe.com (or the Oystercafe network) user page, forum or website will be at your own risk. However we reserve the right to use this information to better tailor our content to members' needs. This will also help us, or any current or future advertisers and sponsors, better understand the demographics of our members. Under no circumstances does Oystercafe divulge any personal information about an individual member to a third party.

1.3 Information You Share On Your Profile
You are advised not to post or display personal information and OysterCafe.com takes no responsibility for any information you do choose to display, including profile pictures.

1.4 Website Browsing and Cookies (clickstream data)
OysterCafe.com sometimes tracks and catalogues information to determine which areas of our site members like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We may track the lessons individual members listen to or download and also how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We do not collect personal information about you if you only browse this website (unless you choose to provide it during communications with us). However, this website uses session cookies every time you access the site. Closing your browser after the session will not delete or destroy the cookie (this is so we can identify you in the future in relation to our 'Affiliate Scheme'). You may delete the cookie at anytime by manually deleting it from your browser, or you may choose to let our cookie expire automatically after 72 hours, meaning that you will not be identified when you return to our site.

1.5 Who do we give your information to?
We do not give your personal information to anyone, including, but not limited to government agencies, private organisations, charities, individuals or anyone else unless one of the following applies:

• You have consented
• It is required or authorised by law
• It is believed that it will prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to somebody's life or health or to the security of the state
• The disclosure is thought to be reasonably necessary for law enforcement or governmental officers
• It is believed that you have compromised the integrity of the OysterCafe.com network.
