You may give us your credit card details to buy something from us or a description of your education and work experience in connection with a job opening at DIYwebmastery that you wish to be considered for. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.

This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and to help us provide a better service.
Use of Suppliers
In some cases DIYwebmastery uses suppliers to collect, use, analyze and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is DIYwebmastery’s practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner consistent with DIYwebmastery’s policies.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, DIYwebmastery decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is DIYwebmastery’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.
Cookies and Other Technologies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our websites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on DIYwebmastery websites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. DIYwebmastery or others on DIYwebmastery’s behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in an non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called “cookies”. A cookie is a piece of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some DIYwebmastery pages use cookies, sent by DIYwebmastery or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the website. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some websites may not work properly.
Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. See Online Advertising below
Service Quality Monitoring
Certain Web transactions may also involve you calling us or our calling you. Please be aware that it is DIYwebmastery’s general practice to monitor and in some cases record such calls for staff training or quality assurance purposes.
Online Advertising
Certain companies help us deliver interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers. After it is collected the information is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual. If, however, you would prefer that these companies not collect such information, please visit www.networkadvertising.org and follow the “opt-out” instructions.
