Your privacy is vital to us. At The Leisure Time Group, we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

The Leisure Time Group (“The Leisure Time Group”) operates several websites, including The Leisure Time Group.co.za. It is The Leisure Time Group’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, The Leisure Time Group collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Leisure Time Group’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how The Leisure Time Group’s visitors use its website. From time to time, The Leisure Time Group may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

The Leisure Time Group also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. The Leisure Time Group only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The Leisure Time Group’s websites choose to interact with The Leisure Time Group in ways that require The Leisure Time Group to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The Leisure Time Group gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. We collect their emails for those who wish to receive The Leisure Time Group updates via email. In each case, The Leisure Time Group collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The Leisure Time Group. The Leisure Time Group does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

The Leisure Time Group may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, The Leisure Time Group may monitor the most popular pages on the The Leisure Time Group.co.za site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. The Leisure Time Group may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The Leisure Time Group does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The Leisure Time Group discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on The Leisure Time Group’s behalf or to provide services available at The Leisure Time Group’ websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The Leisure Time Group’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The Leisure Time Group will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, The Leisure Time Group discloses potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The Leisure Time Group believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The Leisure Time Group, third parties or the public at large. Suppose you are a registered user of The Leisure Time Group’s website and have supplied your email address. In that case, The Leisure Time Group may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The Leisure Time Group and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The Leisure Time Group takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to. We keep contact information (such as mailing list information) until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems. If you choose to unsubscribe from a mailing list, we may keep certain limited information about you so that we may honour your request.

When deletion is requested or otherwise required, we will anonymize the data of data subjects and/or remove their information from publicly accessible sites if the deletion of data would break essential systems or damage the logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archival records.

If you would like to request deletion of your account and associated data, please visit our Contact Form and submit a request for deletion. We will reply once the process is complete.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of The Leisure Time Group may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
