To that end, we are disclosing here any issues related to privacy in the collection by Willow of personally identifiable information from users of our websites.

We have adopted a set of information management guidelines that serve as the basis for our customer and advertiser relationships. These have been developed to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998. Guidelines are subject to change and any such changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page without notification.

A summary of the measures taken by Octopus to protect our users' privacy is as follows:

• We do not provide or sell your details to third parties unless you have specifically requested that we do so, in order that these advertisers and/or third parties can offer you information, goods and services that may be of interest to you.
• We reserve the right to disclose information about member usage and demographics to advertisers and partners, but in anonymous aggregate form only. Octopus will not reveal your personal identity in connection with the disclosure of such information.
• We may contact users by email with updates about our website and its services. All our email correspondence includes an unsubscribe option.

What personally identifiable information do we collect about you?

We may collect personal information from you through your use of enquiry and feedback forms and every time you email us your details.

We also log IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We occasionally use IP addresses to track a user's session, but do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.

What do we do with the information collected?

We may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour in order to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or 'clicked' their advertising banners. In performing these statistical analyses, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form. Personal information on individual subscribers will NOT be provided to any third party if you object.

We may periodically send you email updates on our Websites and services offered by Octopus and its advertisers. If you wish to opt out of receiving such information from us, please use the unsubscribe option included in all our email correspondence or send an email to info@octopusmanagement.co.uk stating that you would prefer not to receive such mailings.

We will not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others unless you have given us your permission. With your permission we will only share the information with carefully chosen, reputable and trustworthy third parties. Also, we may provide aggregate statistics on our customers, sales, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
