Duncan & Toplis, which operates the Internet site located at http://www.duntop.co.uk/, recognises the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about visitors to our sites. As a general policy, no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address or email address, is automatically collected from visitors to our sites. Personally identifiable information about visitors to our sites is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted via registration or contact forms. We may collect certain non-personal information to optimize our Web pages for your computer (i.e., the identity of your Internet browser, the type of operating system you use, your IP address and the domain name of your Internet service provider). We may use such non-personal information for internal purposes, including but not limited to improving the content of our sites.

In those instances when we do collect personally identifiable information, the following policies apply:

Duncan & Toplis will notify you when we are collecting personally identifiable information about you and how we intend to use it. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with information or a product you requested.

Sometimes Duncan & Toplis engages in activities with business partners and sponsors with whom personal information is jointly collected or shared. We will try to make it clear at the time of collection who is asking for and/or sharing your information. In situations where your information will be shared, it is recommended that you also review the privacy policy of our business partner or sponsor.

Use and Security
Personally identifiable information that visitors submit to our sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Duncan & Toplis can not be held responsible for the privacy policies or practices of our business partners.

Please remember that any information posted on bulletin boards becomes public information. You should use caution when sharing information as any of it can be collected and used by people you may not know. While Duncan & Toplis strives to protect and respect your privacy, we can not guarantee the security of any information you disclose in a chat room or bulletin board and you do so at your own risk.

Duncan & Toplis may use personally identifiable information in aggregate form to make our sites better and more responsive to the needs of our visitors.

Personal information may be disclosed in special situations where Duncan & Toplis has reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with Duncan & Toplis' rights, property, users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, Duncan & Toplis may reveal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Duncan & Toplis maintains appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable information submitted to our sites, and periodically reviews and updates its security measures in light of current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. Although Duncan & Toplis strives to protect your personal information, we can not ensure or warranty the security of any information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. This is done so at your own risk. Once we do receive your transmission, however, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Links to Third Party and Co-Branded Sites
Duncan & Toplis has established relationships with reputable business partners that allow visitors to our Internet site to link directly to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites may be "co-branded" with an Duncan & Toplis logo; however, these sites are not operated or maintained by Duncan & Toplis. These sites may collect personal information from you that may be shared with Duncan & Toplis. As noted above, this Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we obtain in this manner.

Duncan & Toplis chooses its advertisers and business partners carefully. However, Duncan & Toplis is not responsible for the content or practices of Web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our sites. These links are meant for the user's convenience only. Links to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement or approval by Duncan & Toplis of the content, policies or practices of such third party sites. Once you have left the Duncan & Toplis site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party site.
