1.Introduction
This website is brought to you by Kearsley Limited (“Kearsley”) whose registered office is Royal Trust House, 60 Athol Street Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1JD. We take the privacy of our website users very seriously. We want our services to be safe and enjoyable environments for our audience. We ask that you read this Privacy Policy (”the Policy”) carefully as it contains certain information about how we will use your personal data.

In order to provide you with the full range of services, we are sometimes required to collect information about you. This policy covers the use of personal information that Kearsley collects when you use http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk. The policy also gives you information about cookies; Kearsley’s and third parties' use of cookies; and how you may reject such cookies.

From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name, postal address, email address, membership number, telephone or mobile number, date of birth or payment details) in order to receive or use services on our website. Such services include newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards and http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk membership. For example we will obtain your personal data when you register to use this website, send us feedback, post material, contact us for any reason, sign up to a service or enter a competition
We may also monitor your use of this website. This may include monitoring how many times you visit, which pages you go to, and the originating domain name of a user’s internet service provider. This information helps us to build a profile of our users. Some of this data will be aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not be able to identify you individually. Please see further the sections on Cookies below.

By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Kearsley and its service providers to provide you with the services you select. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. When using your personal information Kearsley will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.
There may be hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies, including cookies, and we urge you to review them. They will govern the use of personal information you submit or are collected by cookies whilst visiting these websites. Cube does not accept responsibility or liability for the privacy practices or such third party websites and your use of such websites is at you own risk.

2.Visitor Information
During the course of any visit to http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk the pages you see, along with a short text file called a 'cookie', are downloaded to your computer. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

Kearsley uses cookies and collects IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet). Information supplied by cookies and IP addresses can help us to provide you with a better online user experience and assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our education pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second and subsequent visits. This information is not used to develop a personal profile of you and the log files are regularly purged.

3.What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk anonymously until such time as you wish to register http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk services.

4.Use and storage of your personal information

We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular webpages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.

If you are notified on a http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk site that your information may be used to allow Kearsley to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that Kearsley may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. For example, we may wish to provide you with password reminders or notify you that the particular service has been suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service or new services on http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk unless you specifically agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such promotional information.

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a http://www.188-rugby-league.co.uk member.

We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2002 (an Act of Tynwald).
