Our website address is: https://refinecreative.co.uk.

Your privacy is very important to us. At Refine Creative we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We’re not keen on services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

Refine Creative. (“Refine Creative”) operates one website. It is Refine Creative’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Refine Creative collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Refine Creative’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Refine Creative’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Refine Creative may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Refine Creative also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Refine Creative only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Refine Creative’s website choose to interact with Refine Creative in ways that require Refine Creative to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Refine Creative gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Refine Creative updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Refine Creative collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Refine Creative. Refine Creative does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Refine Creative may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, Refine Creative may monitor the most popular pages on the www.refinecreative.co.uk site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Refine Creative may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Refine Creative does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Refine Creative discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its collaborators, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Refine Creative’s behalf or to provide services available at Refine Creative’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those collaborators, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Refine Creative’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Refine Creative will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its collaborators, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Refine Creative discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Refine Creative believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Refine Creative, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Refine Creative website and have supplied your email address, Refine Creative may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Refine Creative and our services. We primarily use our website and social media platforms to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Refine Creative takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
