We collect personal information from visitors (both private individuals and companies) to our web sites. This is done by using online forms and also when you e-mail us or phone us. We may also collect information about your visit to our web site using 'cookies'.
We collect information that is necessary for us to provide you with use of this website as a private individual or company. For example, if you choose to sign up as a user and store your favourite websites, we hold your name and email address.

If you list your website with us, we will store any information that you provide for inclusion in the directory and your contact details so that we can contact you if we need to.
Our cookies do not harm your computer, they are small pieces of information sent by a web server to a web browser, which enables the server to collect information from the browser. Our web site can send cookies to your browser only if your browser's preferences allow it.
You can decide if you want to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser: to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set.

This enables us to understand our users browsing patterns (how often you visit and what you look at when you are on the site) and build up a demographic profile. The information gathered through the use of cookies allows us to understand the usage of our websites and improve them for your benefit.
We also use cookies to enable you to login to your account (as a user or company) and to subsequently move around the website whilst staying logged in. If you block cookies then you will not be able to do this.
We may also keep track of your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address may also be used to gather broad demographic information about you, such as your location and ISP.
Third party sites listed on our websites may use their own cookies and other analysis tools and may track and record your activity using policies and practices which differ from ours. In linking to a third party website we cannot make any representation that they adhere to acceptable standards of data protection and we cannot be held liable for any breaches of your privacy by these third parties. We recommend that you read the privacy policies of these third parties to ensure you are comfortable with them.
If you have allowed us to contact you in your contact preferences, we may contact you from time to time with a newsletter, to let you know about other websites which Really Useful Websites Limited launches, to ask you for your views about our websites or possibly to ask if you would be interested in participating in one of our surveys. We will not share your details with third parties without your consent, unless we are required to by law.
When you sign up as a private individual you can opt out of receiving contact from us other than when you request that we do so, for example if you forget your password.
If you change your mind about being contacted by us then you can change your preferences within your user account by logging on or by contacting us, via the form in the 'Contact Us' section, stating your full details and that you no longer wish to receive contact from us.
If you are a company who lists your website with us, then it is a condition of your inclusion that we may contact you at any time to confirm that the information we are publishing about your website is correct, or for any other queries we may have about your account.
