Introduction
Minelabowners.com ("MLO") is a joint venture between Gary Brun and Gordon Heritage. As a commitment to promote the hobby of metal Detecting and a great place to meet and interact with others around the world.

This statement sets out MLO's policies relating to the collection and use of your personal information. It applies to your conduct on the MLO network of websites (the "Forum"). These policies are in addition to MLO's general Terms of Use governing the Forum and should be read in conjunction with such Terms of Use.

Please note that separate privacy policies apply to the use of the sites that are available through the Forum but are not operated by MLO directly ("third party Forum sites"). Before disclosing your personal information to any third party Forum sites you should read the relevant policy or terms of use. In addition, any information that you provide under services provided by Microsoft through our site are governed by specific MLO privacy policies. Those policies can be found on Minelabowners.com Forum and Websites.


............................................................................

1. Your personal information is important to us
MLO recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policy will govern how MLO handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy. MLO is committed to protecting your personal information and giving you choice in who can use your personal information and how it can be used. We believe that our privacy policy not only complies with relevant laws but represents industry best practice.
.......................................................................................................................................

2. MLO Membership
MLO has implemented a membership system, designed to offer users a more rewarding and personalised customer experience ("Membership"). To obtain the full benefits of Membership, users are required to register with MLO and login as members each time they visit the Network. However, even if you don't you sign up for Membership or log onto the Network as a member, you are still able to access many of the Forum sites and much of the MLO content. .......................................................................................................................................

3. Collecting personal information about you
There are two main ways we collect information about you:

If you do not log in as a MLO member
Whenever you visit our site, our servers automatically record information about your usage of the Forum such as the time of the visit, its duration and the pages which you visit. This is intended to help us to understand what parts of ourForum our users enjoy the most, and to help us to ensure that any advertising is most directly relevant to your interests. The information we collect about you remains anonymous, and we do not link it to any other personal information. Therefore if you have not identified yourself on the site, such as by registering for Membership or logging on as a member, we will not link a record of your usage of our Forum to you personally.

If you do not want us to retain any information at all, even in an anonymous form, you can use the Preferences on your browser program to remove all cookies and set the browser not to accept cookies in the future.

If you log in as a MLO member
Once you have become a MLO member, we collect personal information about you in order to provide you with the full benefits of Membership. When you first register for Membership, we collect information from you directly and also from time to time thereafter if you provide us additional information.

Once you have logged on as a member, we keep a record of how you use the Forum. This helps us to build a profile of what interests you, so that we can personalise your experience of the Forum and publish you information which is directly relevant to your interests.

Any further collection of your personal information than that explained above will only occur with consent from you. MLO only collects information from your use of our Forum. We do not collect information about you from other organisations or from websites outside the Forum that you may visit.
.......................................................................................................................................

4. Preserving your privacy
Surveys show that most internet users are concerned about their privacy, want to keep control of their personal information, and do not trust many of the web sites which they visit. In fact, research shows around a third of internet users give false information online rather than saying who they really are.

MLO understands that even with our privacy policy, some people still will not feel comfortable disclosing their personal information in order to become a MLO member. So if you don't feel comfortable with disclosing your real identity, but you still want to take advantage of MLO Membership, then you can register for Membership using a pseudonym (or "nym") - a different name. This way, you choose your own nym, which might be "Mickey Mouse" or "Blinky Bill" and that's what we will call you. We won't know who you really are, but we will still be able to find out what you like most on our Forum and therefore give you the most enjoyable and customised experience of the Forum possible. This also helps us to match the advertising on our site to the people most likely to be interested in those ads (which help to pay for the cost of operating the Forum). However, the advertisers on the Forum are never given information that identifies you as an individual (such as your name or your email address), unless you have given us your express consent to disclose such information.
.......................................................................................................................................

5. Our use of cookies and applets
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies. However, if you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. In some instances this may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of parts of the Forum.

The use of cookies can enhance your enjoyment of what is offered by MLO, because they can help personalise your experience of our website. They can make it easier for you to shop online and can ensure that information provided to you is most relevant to your interests. Cookies can provide us with aggregated information on how people use our websites, and which advertisements are effective, which helps us to keep improving our Forum. We also use cookies to operate the Membership system, as they help us to identify visitors to the site who have previously registered.

Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's browser. The cookies simply contain a unique identifier which help us to know what our customers find interesting and useful on our website, almost like a continuing questionnaire.

.......................................................................................................................................

6. Using and disclosing your personal information
MLO will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, or access your communications on our websites, unless:
Required by law.
We believe it necessary to provide you with a service which you have requested.
To implement our terms of use.
To protect the rights or property of MLO, any MLO user, or any member of the public.
To lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety.

We will not give any of your personal information to advertisers or any other organisation without your express consent.
.......................................................................................................................................

7. "Spam" (promotional email)
We will not send you "spam" (advertising information) without first asking you whether you wish to have promotional information sent to you. If you are receiving promotional information about MLO or its affiliates and do not wish to receive this information any longer, you may remove your name from our list either by visiting the website from which the communication was sent and following the instructions on how to withdraw your information from that site (where that facility is available), or emailing us on our privacy feedback form and asking to be removed from our mailing list. Please allow seven days for this request to be processed.

.......................................................................................................................................

8. Storage and security of your personal information
MLO will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities.

You can also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure, by maintaining the confidentiality of any password and accounts used on the MLO website. Please notify us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account by any other Internet user or any other breach of security.
.......................................................................................................................................

9. MLO and links to other websites
MLO provides links to websites outside of the Forum. These linked sites are not under the control of MLO, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using their websites.
.......................................................................................................................................

10. What to do if you have a problem or question
If MLO becomes aware of any ongoing concerns or problems with sites on our Forum, we will take these issues seriously and work to address these concerns. If you have any further queries relating to our privacy policy, or you have a problem or complaint, please contact us via email at postmaster@minelabowners.com .......................................................................................................................................

11. Future changes
Our commitment to make MLO one of the internets best Web network means that we are constantly adding new sites and features to the Forum. Because of this, from time to time, our policies will be reviewed and may be revised. MLO reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time and notify you by posting an updated version of the policy on its website.
.......................................................................................................................................

12. Specific conditions: MLO sites
These principles apply generally to the MLO Forum. As mentioned above, different policies apply for MLO sites and services.
