Option One recognises that individuals with whom we conduct business value their privacy.

However, in order to conduct business in this increasingly electronic economy, the collection of personal information is often necessary and desirable. It is Option One's goal to balance the benefits of e-commerce with the right of individuals to prevent the misuse of their personal information.

Personal information

To receive some of the services on the site, Option One will request personal information from you, like your name, e-mail address, company name, or telephone number. Your response to these inquiries is completely voluntary. Option One uses this information to customise your experience on our web site. Option One will only contact you when you have requested contact and provided your contact details. Once we receive your details, your personal information is immediately isolated on a secure server, behind our firewall, not accessible from the internet. We will not sell, lease, or give your personal details to any third party without your consent.

Domain Information

Option One also collects domain information as part of its analysis of the use of this site. This allows us to gather broad demographic information only, such as what country you are from or what ISP you use. Your computer's IP address does not provide any personal details. This data enables us to become more familiar with which stakeholders visit our site, how often they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often. Option One uses this information to improve its web-based offerings. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on your part. In general, you can visit our site without telling us who you are or divulging any personal information unless you choose to do so.

Cookies

Some pages on this site use "cookies," which are small files that the site places on your hard drive for identification purposes. These files are used for site registration and customisation so the next time you visit us the site can recall your previous selections. You should note that cookies can not read data on your hard drive. Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function and you may not be able to access certain information on this site.

Option One reserves the right to change, modify, or update this statement at any time without notice.
