This site is owned and operated by Menufeast Pty Limited. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us.
Because
we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you
should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture
and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what
information we gather and how we use it.
Personal Information
We
gather two types of information about users: Information that you
provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary
submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our
message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in
polls and surveys. This information allows us to better tailor our
content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors
better understand the demographics of our audience. Because we derive
our revenue mainly from sponsorships and advertising, providing such
aggregated demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to
users.
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by you:
1. Electronic newsletters
We
offer a free electronic newsletter to you. We gather your email address
of users if you voluntarily subscribe. You may remove yourself from
this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter
that points you to the subscription management page.
2. User Reviews
Users
of the Review System must register separately for the services in order
to post reviews. During registration the user may be required to supply
one or more of the following: a username, password, and/or an email
address.
3. E-mail to a friend Service
You
can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to
someone else by clicking "e-mail this to a friend". You must provide
your email address, as well as that of the recipient. This information
is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let
the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for
any other purpose.
4. Polling
We
may offer interactive polls to you so you can easily share your
opinions with others and see what our audience thinks about important
issues. We may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so
they can vote only once on a particular question.
5. Surveys
We
may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to
our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners.
Usage tracking
We
track user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do
not correlate this information with data about individual users. We
break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name,
browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser
string (information contained in every user's browser).
We
sometimes track and catalogue the search terms that users enter in our
Search function. We use tracking information to determine which areas of
our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies
We
may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your
computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie
files created by other sites. We use cookies to track user traffic
patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a
one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates. You can
refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser however this means
you may not be able to access the site.
Use of Information
We
use any information voluntarily given by you to enhance your experience
in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalised
elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on your
interests.
We create aggregate reports on user demographics and
traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our
advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to
receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.
From
time to time we may disclose your information to our advertisers,
service providers and contractors to help us to provide and market
our/their goods and services to you. We may also share your information
with third parties who provide prizes for competitions or special
offers. If we do this we generally require these parties to protect your
information in the same way we do.
Security
We
operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall
and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are
periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorised
individuals have access to the information provided by you.
Opt-Out Policy
We
give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include: Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users
For Further Information
Please contact us to ask for access to any of your information or if you have a complaint concerning your privacy.
