Site usage information - log files
Log files allow us to record visitors' use of the site. Lumison puts together log file information from all our visitors, which we use to inform changes to the layout of the site and to the information in it, based on the way that visitors move around it. Log files do not contain any personal information.
External links
www.leaps-bounds.co.uk is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
Credit card transaction and security
For your security, authorisation for purchases will be handled by online payments provider www.protx.com and checked with the credit card company before confirmation of any bookings are made. In addition to our credit card policy, our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.
Changes to this privacy policy
If this privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.
