provide certain Personal Information to
us when you (a) register at christo.co.za
and register your email address with us;
(b) enter sweepstakes or contests
sponsored by us or one of our partners;
(c) sign up for special offers from
selected third parties; (d) send email
messages, submit forms, use some of our
on-line tools, or send other
information. We may collect Personal
Information from you at other points on
our site that state that Personal

We
do not wish to obtain Personal
Information from individuals under the
age of 18. |
 Disclosure
Of Information |
|
Unless
we tell you otherwise, we do not give, sell
or rent your Personal Information to any
third parties without your approval.
However, we may give, sell or rent
aggregated (anonymous) information about our
users generally. If you expressly indicate
that you would like to receive information
about products and services from third
parties, we may disclose your name and email
address to these parties. In addition, in
order to provide you with certain features
of the Web Site that will be provided by our
third party partners in the future, we will
need to disclose some of your Personal
Information to these third party partners.
You should note that Personal Information
that you voluntarily disclose in any chat
rooms, forums, message boards and/or news
groups that are offered on the Web Site may
be disclosed to and used by third parties. |
 Use
Of Information |
|
We
use Personal Information, among other
things, to anticipate and resolve problems
with your service, to personalize your
service, to investigate activity that may
violate our Terms of Service, to analyse
site traffic, and to develop and market
services that may be of interest to you. In
some instances, we use third party service
providers to assist us in these activities;
however, we require that these service
providers maintain the confidentiality of
your information. If you sign up for an
email newsletter or other correspondence, we
will send the email newsletter or
correspondence to the address you provide
us. We will use Personal Information about
you to deliver information to you that
targets your interests. However, unless you
tell us otherwise, we will not use Personal
Information collected from the Web Site to
send unsolicited mailings to you. |
 Third
Party Sites |
|
This
policy only addresses our activities from
our servers. Other sites (including those
third party sites or services which we
co-brand) may have their own policies and
practices, which we do not control, and thus
are not addressed by this policy. |
 Review
And Removal Of Your Personally Identifiable
Data |
|
If
you provide us with Personal Information
during your use of the Web Site, we will
provide you with a way to review the
information we have on file and either
change or remove such data from your
Profile. If you delete such information, it
cannot be used by us or disclosed to third
parties in the future. Users who register on
christo.co.za will be given the opportunity
to choose whether or not to receive email
correspondence and newsletters from Christo
at the time of registration. If you do not
make a choice, you will automatically
receive email correspondence and newsletters
from Christo. All users may also cancel any
subscription that may no longer be of
interest at any time.
We
will use all reasonable efforts to ensure
that your information is removed from our
records as quickly as possible.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should
understand that Personal Information
previously disclosed by us to third parties
before you delete or change such information
in our database will be used according to
such third parties' privacy policies. |

 Cookies
And Other Tracking Methods |
|
When
you view our Web Site, we may store some
information on your computer. Our servers
automatically collect information about
which pages you visit, your browser type,
your IP address, your most-recently visited
URL, your preferences, and in the future, we
may save your password and other Personal
Information so it doesn't need to be
re-entered. This information will be in the
form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies
are small pieces of information stored on
your computer hard drive, not on our site.
Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise
invade your privacy, and they cannot invade
your hard drive and steal information.
Rather, they help you navigate a website as
easily as possible. Cookies can help us
provide information that is targeted to your
interests, and they allow us to better
understand how you like to use our Web Site,
which in turn helps us focus our resources
on features that are the most popular. You
are always free to decline our cookies if
your browser permits, but some parts of our
site may not work properly in that case. In
some cases we may track or collect
information about your use of our service by
the numeric address assigned to the computer
you are using (your IP address) or by the
URLs that you come from or leave to. These
methods allow us to resolve server problems
or administer your service. Generally, we do
not associate this information with any
other Personal Information that you have
provided to us. We may also automatically
collect and store statistics and other
information about you and your use of the
Web Site both on an aggregate,
non-personally identifiable basis and in a
manner that may allow us to associate such
information with other Personal Information
about you. |
|
 Security |
|
We
use industry-standard methods to protect
your Personal Information from unauthorized
access. Among other techniques, we store
such information on a computer in a secure
location, and we restrict the number of
employees internally who can access such
data. We are not responsible if some other
third party gains access to the database by
evading our security measures or otherwise
obtains access to the database. |
 Amendments |
|
Amendments
to this policy will be posted at this URL
and will be effective when posted. |
 Further
Information |
|
We
cannot ensure that your private
communications and other Personal
Information will not be disclosed to third
parties. By way of example, without limiting
the foregoing, we may be forced to disclose
information to the government under certain
circumstances, or third parties may
unlawfully intercept or access transmissions
or private communications, or we might
disclose your information to other sites as
part of offering additional functionality to
you. Additionally, we can (and you authorize
us to) disclose your Personal Information to
private entities, law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our sole
discretion, believe necessary or
appropriate. Therefore, we do not promise
that your Personal Information or private
communications will remain private.
You
acknowledge that this privacy policy is part
of our Terms and Conditions of Use and you
agree to be bound by all of its terms and
conditions. |
 Disclaimer |
Christo
and his contributors accept no
responsibility or liability for articles or
extracts which have not been attributed to
their rightful author/publisher, or
incorrect bibliographies. However, if such a
matter arises and is brought to our

effort to remedy the situation, and if no
satisfactory solution can be found, the
article will be removed.
We
accept reader contributions in good faith.
We
also accept no responsibility or liability
for the accuracy of any of the information
listed. Content 'accuracy' is a very hard

(as notified to us by a professional body
governing that area of expertise) we will
consider removing it.
The
opinions expressed in the articles are not
necessarily those of the Site Owner.
If
a typographical error has been made in your
listing, especially any affecting your
contact details, please notify us as soon as
possible for rectification. |
