Web Server Protocols (Including IP Address)
Whenever you use our site, or any website, the server on which the web pages are stored requests the network address of your device so that it can send the required web pages to your browser. The unique network address of your device is called an IP address, and is sent automatically each time you access any Internet site. From a device’s IP address, it may be possible to determine the general location of that device but is otherwise anonymous. We do not keep a record of the IP addresses from which users access our site except where you have specifically provided us with information about yourself, in which case we may record your IP address for security purposes.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion and without notice.
