rightHAND.co.za Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the
users of our sites. This privacy policy will advise you about
how we protect your personal information, and about what choices
you have concerning our use of such information. Please read
this policy carefully. We may need to change this policy from
time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes
on our sites. We will post those changes here so that you will
always know what information we gather, how we might use that
information, and whether we will disclose that information to
anyone. Please refer back to this policy regularly.
Scope Of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all of the sites and services
owned or operated by rightHAND designs, and affiliated companies
(collectively "rightHAND designs" or "we," "us," or "our"),
including www.rightHAND.co.za and any other site that we may own
or operate currently or in the future (collectively, the
"rightHAND designs sites"). Unless we say otherwise, all
references to the rightHAND designs sites in this policy include
all such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of
unaffiliated sites to which any of the rightHAND designs sites
are linked.
Personal Identification Information
We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification
information about you as an individual user (such as, for
example, your full name, street address, telephone number,
credit card number or E-mail address) to any third party without
having received your permission. We may request personal
identification information from you in connection with your use
of, or participation in, our contests, surveys, forums,
subscription registrations, content submissions, requests for
suggestions or opinions, visitors' requests for free products or
services or additional information, and in connection with other
activities, services or resources we make available on any of
our sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal
identification information from you only if you voluntarily
submit such information to us. If you do provide us with
personal information, we may use it to conduct the activities
described above. If you identify yourself to us by sending us an
E-mail with questions or comments, we may use your personal
information to respond to your questions or comments. We may
file your comments for future reference, or we may discard the
information after we have reviewed it. We may also contact you
to confirm your subscription, and regarding changes to the
rightHAND designs sites’ Terms and Conditions and this Privacy
Policy. If you give us your permission, we may also use personal
identification information for internal or external marketing
and promotional purposes. On occasion, for example, we may send
you E-mails to introduce a product or service that we think
might be of interest to the users of our sites. For us to obtain
your permission to send you this information, we will give you
an opportunity to "opt-in" at the time our request for your
personal information is made. If you do "opt-in," you may choose
to "opt-out" at any time, even after you have provided personal
information, by following the procedures set forth at the end of
Security Policy. Please note, however, that under certain
circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or if
you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain
benefits for which a name, E-mail address, telephone number or
other personal identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies:
(a) We will release specific information about you or your
account to comply with any valid legal process such as a search
warrant, subpoena, statute or court order.
(b) We will also release specific information in special cases,
such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the
rightHAND designs sites, or a physical threat to you or others.
Please note that if you give out personal information online -
for example, through advertising on rightHAND designs sites -
that information can be collected and used by third parties.
Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot
guarantee the security of information you submit in
advertisements. You disclose such information at your own risk.
Privacy of Children
rightHAND designs understands that young people need special
safeguards and privacy protection. We realize that they may not
understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make
thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available
to our adult users. We urge all parents to participate in their
children's exploration of the Internet and any online services,
and to teach their children about protecting their personal
