Your privacy is important. Accordingly we take every measure to ensure that your anonymity is protected.
Introduction
We have developed this policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and make use of personal information. When accessing the Cicada website, we collect insensitive information about you during your visit. Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilises a standard technology called ‘cookies’ (see explanation below) and server logs to collect information about how our site is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.
Use of Cookies
A Cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. We use Cookies to ensure you get the best experience with our website, we do not use Cookies for any purposes other than those which are materially consistent with the use of our website.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of our collected “traffic data” so that we can send you data you have requested, such as the web pages you request.
Email Privacy
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, mail and telephone. This also applies when you register for our website, sign up through any of our forms using your email address or make a purchase on this site. For further information see the email policies below.
Use of Personal Information
We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will any such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the end-user at the time of collection. We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it, for the protection of our legal rights. We capture some limited personal information during checkout, which may include your full name, email address, payment details (obfuscated and secure), as well as information about your order.
Email Policy
We are committed to keeping your email address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and we will not provide your personal information to any third party individual, government agency, or company at any time unless strictly compelled to do so by law.
