Site Visits:

Whenever you request a page through your browser, navigation and clickstream data such as:

• your IP address,
• browser and version,
• operating system,
• date and time and
• the site from which you came

are stored in a log file and/or database. Any search terms that you enter into the Silk & Roses Site Search are also logged. This information cannot be used to identify specific individuals, and is only used for:

• Website and system administration,
• research and development,
• anonymous user analysis, and
• to provide accurate statistics to advertisers in the form of aggregated data.

This information is kept on a secure dedicated server hosted within the Silk & Roses offices.

The email addresses collected from subscriptions to the Silk & Roses newsletters are not sold, or disclosed to any third parties. These addresses will only be used by our business to send out Silk & Roses communications (for example, the Silk & Roses newsletters). You will not receive any mailings you did not request.

Your email address will not be disclosed to any third party. Instructions for removal from these mailings are included in each individual email message that is sent to you.

When a contest/survey is run on this site you may be asked to supply some personally identifying information like your name, email address and/or phone number. This information will only be used to notify winners of the contest/sweepstakes. Non-identifying information may be analysed, aggregated and presented to third-parties to provide an overview of the demographics of our Network's visitors.

When a survey appears on the Silk & Roses site, information is collected, compiled and analysed on an aggregated basis. Silk & Roses may share this aggregated data with advertisers or business partners.
