Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Personal Data
CENTRIC LIMITED will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., your name, address, date of birth, telephone number or email address (“personal data”) through our websites unless you have provided it to us voluntarily.
If you do not want your personal data collected, please do not submit it to us.
CENTRIC LIMITED will only collect and use your personal data in strict compliance with applicable data protection laws. When you do provide us with personal data, CENTRIC LIMITED may use that information in the following ways, unless stated otherwise:

Information Collected Automatically
In some cases, we may automatically (i.e. not via registration) collect technical information when you connect to the Site that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet Browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using and the domain name of the website from which you linked to the Site.
Info Placed Automatically on Your Personal Computer – Cookies
When you view the Site, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “Cookie” or similar file and can help us in many ways. For example, Cookies allow us to tailor a website to better match your interests and preferences. With most Internet Browsers, you can erase Cookies from your computer hard drive, block all Cookies or receive a warning before a Cookie is stored. Please refer to your Browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions.
Other Important Notes regarding Our Privacy Practices
- We have security measures and tools in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. No method of transmitting or storing data is completely secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with the Site. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with “Contact Us,” below (note that physical mail notification will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).
- Other Third-Party Sites. The Site may contain links to third party web sites. These linked sites are not under CENTRIC LIMITED’s control and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the contents of any such linked site, or any link contained in any linked site. We provide such links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site by CENTRIC LIMITED. If you provide Payment Information or other Personal Information through any such third party web site, your transaction will occur on such third party’s web site (not the Site) and the Personal Information you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy policy of that third party. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies and practices of any such third parties.
- We reserve the right to transfer any and all information that we collect from users of the Site to a third party in the event of any merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of CENTRIC LIMITED’s assets (including without limitation in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
