PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy has been prepared to fully inform
you as to how Orange Tree Software Ltd uses information collected on its
website www.yourfreetime.info
Information Collection
Orange Tree Software Ltd is the sole owner of the information collected
on www.yourfreetime.info. Orange Tree Software Ltd collects information
from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Registration
In order to use this Web site, a user must first complete the registration
form. During registration a user is required to give their email address.
We use this information to contact the user about services on our site
for which they have expressed interest
Use of Site
The site is predominantly a tool for the user to store, issue and receive
personal information. The site will store any information the user enters
and saves.
Information Use
The users, and no one else, determine how their data is used. Orange Tree
Software Ltd does not use the information in any way outside of the users
criteria.
Session
A session is defined as the period of time between when a user logs in
and when the user logs out. Each session is given a unique ID. This ID
is used to store what happens in a session. A comparison is made at the
end of a session between start of session data and end of session data.
The purpose is to record changes to the users data to the central database.
The session information is erased once the user logs out by means of the
log out button or after 5-minutes of inactivity if the site is left by
any other means.
Cookies
At yourfreetime.info we use "session cookies" to manage users
and their activities. A cookie is simply a small file which is stored
on your computer. It contains a personal identification code unique to
each user of the site.
The use of session cookies brings the following benefits:
* It allows us to deliver content that is relevant to your interests
* It allows us to authenticate you so you don't have to enter your password
more than once in a given session.
Please be assured that the cookies used at yourfreetime.info do NOT:
* Allow us to track individual information
* Allow us access to your personal information.
* Compromise the security of your computer in anyway.
The session cookie is automatically deleted from your computer when you
log
out of the site or close down your web browser window.
Log Files
Like most standard web site servers we use and analyze log files. This
analysis includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze
trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate,
and gather broad demographic information for collective use. IP addresses,
etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products,
services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy
of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we
provide a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the Choice

Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related
announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for
maintenance we might send users an email. Users may opt-out of these communications.
Please see our Choice and Opt-out section.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email
or phone.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user 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.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers
We partner with other third parties to provide specific affiliate program
services. When the user signs up for these particular services, we share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party
to provide these services. These third parties are not allowed to use
personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services.
Business Transitions
In the event Orange Tree Software Ltd goes through a business transition,
such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion
of its assets, user's personal information will, in most instances, be
part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via a prominent
notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control
of their personal information. If, as a result of the business transition,
the user's personally identifiable information will be used in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given
choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications
may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe
in the subject line in the email or email us at unsubscribe@yourfreetime.info.
The user may contact us at +44 (0) 845 6440987 or Webmaster, Orange Tree
Software Ltd, 14 - 18 Heddon Street, Mayfair,London, W1B 4DA, England
to opt-out.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with services
that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we,
Orange Tree Software Ltd, are not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. The requested information typically includes contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as post/zip code). Contact information will be used/shared with
the contest or survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the usability of this site. Users personally identifiable information
is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice.
Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests,
they may not use users personally identifiable information for any secondary
purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. Orange
Tree Software Ltd will automatically send the friend a one-time email
inviting them to visit the site. Orange Tree Software Ltd stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking
the success of our referral program. The friend may contact Orange Tree
Software Ltd at www.yourfreetime.info to request the removal of this information
from our database.
Security
We take every precaution to protect our users information. When users
submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected
both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number),
that information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just
surfing. To learn more about SSL, follow this link www.rsasecurity.com/standards/ssl/basics.html
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information
online, 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 employees who need
the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk
or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter,
as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified
and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they
can do to ensure our users information is protected. Finally, the servers
that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment,
behind a locked cage in a locked facility that is separately alarmed.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users
can send an email to webmaster@yourfreetime.info
Supplementation of Information
In order for this Web site to properly fulfil its obligation to users
it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information
from 3rd party sources.
Purchasing History
In order for this Web site to adhere to its charging structure we keep
on file a history of payments received in order to make correct charges
relating to a users number of subscriptions.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal
Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip/postal
code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires
our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate
users personally identifiable information. This can usually be done within
the users account or by emailing our webmaster@yourfreetime.info
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection
we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if
users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated
their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal
information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material
changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already
stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site
notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we
will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us,
notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
