Privacy Policy & Copyright Restrictions

The fine print

Your privacy is important to us. We keep all personal information of our customers and potential customers confidential. We take our obligation to you very seriously and value the trust you place in us. The information obtained through the use of our website is treated as private and confidential and we are committed to providing you with secure access to our online services.

How we use the personal information we collect

The Unlimited may, from time to time, collect and use personal information from sources such as our website, conversations with you, third party providers and marketing lead generators. Some information is collected as required by law.

Our website uses cookies to gather anonymous data about your interactions with our websites and services.

Use of technology to monitor your use of our website

We gather and analyse anonymous information on our visitors’ use of this website. We use this information to monitor which areas of the website are most frequently visited to assist us to continue developing a value-added service. This information is pooled so individual personal information, behaviour or patterns cannot be identified.

Use of cookies

On some parts of our website, we use so-called “cookie” technology. Cookie technology consists of small pieces of data or a small text file which is given to your browser by our web server when you visit our website. This data is stored on your browser. The cookie is sent back to our web server each time you visit our website. Cookies are not computer programmes and do not run on a computer like programmes do. They cannot gather information or function on their own. They cannot collect any personal information about you or your machine and cannot gather data or information about what you do on the Internet. Cookies merely enable us to provide a more valuable online experience to you. While you can set up your Internet browser to disable cookie technology, we do not recommend that you do this since some parts of this website and our online services may not function properly, or at all.

Remarketing

This website utilises remarketing services such as, but not limited to, Google AdWords, Facebook and LinkedIn to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example, using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to a website. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy. You may opt out from Google using cookies to advertise to you by changing your ad settings in your browser or downloading a Chrome Extension. Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertising online. It does mean that the companies from which you opt out will no longer show ads that have been tailored to your interests.
