We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out
how we will treat your personal information.
What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
(a) information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website
(including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version,
operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, website
navigation);
(b) any information that you choose to send to us.
Cookies
A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by
the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser
requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the
web browser.
We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on the website. We will use
the session cookies to: keep track of you while you navigate the website. We will use
the persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognise you when you visit.
Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach
a specified expiry date.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates
statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are
stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to
create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s
privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.
We may publish Google Adsense interest-based advertisements on our website. These
are tailored by Google to reflect your interests. To determine your interests, Google will
track your behaviour across the web using cookies. You can view, delete or add interest
categories associated with your browser using Google’s Ads Preference Manager,
available at: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. You can opt-out of the Adsense
partner network cookie at: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html. However, this
opt-out mechanism uses a cookie, and if you clear the cookies from your browser your
opt-out will not be maintained. To ensure that an opt-out is maintained in respect of a
particular browser, you should use the Google browser plug-in available at:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/plugin.
Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, while some browsers allow you to reject
just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by
clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the
sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the
usability of many websites.
Using your personal information
Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes
specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.
We may use your personal information to:

(c) send you email notifications which you have specifically requested;
(d) send to you marketing communications relating to our business [or the
businesses of carefully-selected third parties] which we think may be of interest
to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar
technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing
communications);
(e) operate the business of Google Earth Anomalies and Satellite Discoveries.
We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third
parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

In addition, we may disclose your personal information:
(a) to the extent that we are required to do so by law;

risk);
(d) to the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which we
are (or are contemplating) selling; and
(e) to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other
competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in our
reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order
disclosure of that personal information.
Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third
parties.
Security of your personal information
We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss,
misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot
