4. Automatically Collected Information
Whenever you access any of the Internet Sites BLIS will, and is entitled to, automatically collect the following types of information from you:
(a) the IP address of your machine when connected to the internet and the domain name from which you are accessing the internet.

6. Further Collection
BLIS also reserves the right to collect more extensive information where it deems such action is appropriate, such as in the case of any security concerns which may arise. Where possible, information will be obtained directly from you. However, you acknowledge that by accessing the Internet Sites information may be collected from you as a result of the workings of the Internet Sites and the attached systems and software.
7. Facebook and Instagram
BLIS’s Facebook and Instagram pages are set to the “everyone” setting in accordance with Facebook and Instagram’s terms and conditions.

8. Use of Information
BLIS uses the information provided by you or generated by your use of the Internet Sites to provide you with any services or goods you may request from BLIS.

9. Cookies
BLIS may also place cookies on your computer. Cookies are alpha numeric identifiers which are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable BLIS to recognise you whenever you access the Internet Sites and therefore better personalise your access of the Internet Sites. A cookie does not identify you personally, but it does identify your computer. The help portion of your browser’s toolbar should tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies, or how to disable cookies altogether. You should note however that if you do not allow the use of cookies or do not wish to provide certain information to BLIS you may not be able to take full advantage of the Internet Sites and the range of services and goods offered by BLIS.
10. Statistics
BLIS may use and publish non-personal aggregate statistics and group data about those people who access the Internet Sites and their usage of the Internet Sites. However, subject to the further terms of this Privacy Policy, BLIS will not share or make public information about you without your prior permission.
11. Data Transmission
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Whilst BLIS strives to protect such information, we do not warrant, and cannot ensure complete security of any information which you transmit to us. Accordingly, any information which you transmit to us is transmitted at your own risk. Nevertheless, once we receive your transmission, we will take reasonable steps to preserve the security of such information.
