1. LINDEMANS® is committed to best-practice privacy standards
We are committed to protecting your personal information
and letting you know the type of information we collect and
how this
information is used. Our Policy is based on the National

2. Collecting information about you
The amount of information
we collect about you depends on your use of our website.
The only personal information we
collect
is what you tell us about yourself, for instance through
surveys and newsletter registrations.
We use your personal information for research or to improve
our site and the services we offer you. We analyse the
data for certain
trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site
users are visiting and how long they spend there. This
information
is compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis. We may
share this aggregated information with our content providers
to
assist them in understanding our services but we do not
give our content
providers aggregated information that would allow them
to identify you personally.
We also use your personal information
to notify you of updates to the web site via email or our
newsletter (if
you have
subscribed to one of our services). Please contact us if
you no longer wish
to receive emails or newsletters from us.

This lets us know what you

improving
our web site
and provide you with a personalised service.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. If you
do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your
browser
to refuse
them,
although this means you may not be able to use certain
features on our site and you may be required to re-enter
your password
more frequently during a session.
