Your device should allow you to refuse Cookies if you wish by changing the settings.

We will collect information that does personally identify you where required (this may include your name, email address, home address, telephone number, gender, age, the number of children you have and their ages and gender etc) but only when you voluntarily give it to us. We collect this information to carry out the functions offered on the Websites.

However due to the nature of the Internet, Tiny Tribe cannot guarantee that your personal information will always be secure during transmission or from unauthorised access during storage.  As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us and you do so at your own risk.  Please contact us immediately if you become aware or have reason to believe there has been any unauthorised use of your personal information in connection with the Websites.

The Websites are hosted on an Internet server which may automatically record details about any computer used to access the Websites. This may include the IP address, domain name, browser type, the date and the time of access and details of the information downloaded. These details are not capable of identifying you and are used solely for statistical analysis and research on usage patterns to improve the Websites. Tiny Tribe reserves the right to gather more extensive information about any attempted access to the Websites that raises security issues and, if appropriate, make disclosures to the relevant authorities.
