We collect a variety of Personal Information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing and improving our business and our products and services. This information is collected from a range of sources including:

• via competitions and surveys;
• by otherwise having some form of contact with us such as such as by mail, telephone, social media, email, internet or intranet; and/or

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our Site. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
