   The first thing to remember about privacy is that there is only so much information that any website can collect without your answering of specific questions. LondonIndie.com logs IP addresses (in other words, the location of your computer on the Internet) for system administration, troubleshooting, and to examine overall traffic trends. (For example, IP addresses help us determine the percentage of people coming from various online gateways, such as Yahoo! or America Online.) This information, in aggregate form, is recorded for administrative purposes only. IP addresses are not linked to any personal information.

   You can browse LondonIndie.com and read our content without registering or providing any personal information. However, in order to take advantage of our personalized services, you are required to provide us with information such as your name, email address, and real-world address. We always let you know before we collect any personal information from you. LondonIndie.com uses a cookie, a small data file stored on your computer, to customize portions of our site to your preferences. For example, LondonIndie.com uses a cookie to identify you as a registered LondonIndie.com user and to make sure that only you have access to special features, such as personal profile editing. The cookie by itself doesn't tell us, or anyone else, who you are, what your email address is, or anything else personal. You provide that information when you register with LondonIndie.com, and only LondonIndie.com has access to that information. If you choose set up your browser to reject all cookies, please understand that you may be limited to some the areas or functionality within our site.    

   Information we collect from your registration helps us to improve our content, customize certain pages for you, and update you about LondonIndie.com. We do not share names, postal addresses, and demographic information with other organizations that have specific direct mail product and service offers.

   LondonIndie.com contains link to other websites. We cannot be responsible for their content or for private information that you may choose to share with them. Please note: Information you release directly to parties who provide services to LondonIndie.com, such as any vendors, or other sites you encounter on the Internet (even sites that are associated with LondonIndie.com) may be subject to different rules of use or disclosure. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing personal information to third parties.

   Your privacy is very important to us, but due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. Under certain circumstances, the government or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can disclose any information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

   Finally, we use industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers (SSL) where appropriate. We also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only the site curators who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a Member Services representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected code to access all information.

We hope this policy clarifies our procedures regarding your personal information. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email info@LondonIndie.com.

Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.

   If at some point in the future, there is a change to our information usage practices that affect your personally identifiable information, we will notify you by email of the relevant changes. At the time of this message, you will be able to opt-out of this information usage by sending a message to info@LondonIndie.com. We will also post the changes in our privacy statement 30 days prior to a change. You should also check this posted privacy statement for changes.

   LondonIndie.com encourages you to learn as much as you can about your privacy on the Internet.
