How do we use your information? When personal information is collected from you it may be used by us to corroborate your identity and to enable us to provide you with the services we offer through this site. The personal information that we collect from you may also be used to process and fulfil requests for information or advice. We may also use the personal information collected from you to develop this site further so that the site is more useful to you and to enable us to provide further services on this site in the future.

If you have a particular interest in, or concern regarding the way your data will be used then you are advised to read the Privacy Policy on the relevant site. We will try to provide you with links to high quality, reputable sites which we believe will be of interest and relevant to you, but please note that such third party sites are not under our control and we do not contribute to the content of such sites.
