We respect the privacy of every individual who visits the Sites and every individual who registers as a Member with us. We set out below what information we learn about you when you visit the Sites, what we do with that information, and how you can change the information we have collected about you.

Information collected
We collect personal information from you through the use of registration (and in the future feedback forms and online surveys) as well as every time you send us an email. We also collect information about you each time you visit our Sites. The information obtained in this way, which includes demographic data and browsing patterns, is only used in aggregate form (so that no individual user is identified).

When you visit the Sites, we recognise only your domain name and not your email address. We will see your email address only if you fill out a form or send us an email message. If you provide personally identifiable information about yourself such as your name, address, telephone number ("Personal Information") by registering on a page by completing the online registration form, by filling out a survey, by emailing us or otherwise by voluntarily telling us about yourself or your activities, we will collect and retain that Personal Information.

When you register as a Member with us we need to know your name, email address and any other details that are set out on the registration forms. This Personal Information enables us to process your application to become a Member, to note your involvement with Genderquake Limited and its Sites and, as mentioned below, to provide you with information we think may be of interest to you.
