However if you were to register as a member of our community, we will require you to provide us with your email address, a self-created username and your country of origin. Of these, your username and country of origin will be displayed to allow other users to identify you and know where you are from.

We use a small data file, "cookie", which will be sent to your browser, to store and track information about you when you enter our websites. The cookie is used to confirm that you are logged in and to customize our services for you when you browse our website. We do encourage you to enable our cookies when you are on our website because this will enhance your experience with us, but if for any reason you need to reject this, you can do so by changing the setting of your browsers.

Security

Phlook takes all appropriate precautions to protect your information by providing our services via a secure server. All orders placed and information provided by you is collected by us via the Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”). The SSL encrypts all information provided by you before they are sent to us. However it is important for us to highlight to you that it is technically impossible to have a 100% secure system on the internet. Therefore you have to understand that your private information may not always remain private because there may be occurrences where, for example, an unlawful third party intercept or access your data. On our part, we will take all appropriate precautions to protect you against such intrusions.

If you have signed up an account with us, you have to be responsible for all actions you have taken with your email address, username and password.

All information you have provided, except your username, can be edited any time after logging in.

If you were to close your member account with us, due to technical constraints, your information may not be completely removed from our database. However such information will generally not be available for user’s viewing after you close the account.

Modification of Policy

We may change or modify this Policy from time to time to accurately reflect our services. For any changes, we will post a notice of policy change prominently on our website, and thereafter the changes will become effective, with the effective date displayed within this Policy. Therefore we encourage you to check this policy regularly. Whenever you visit our website or provide us information, you are accepting the privacy policy at that time.
