Please take the time to read how we work to ensure your privacy:-

Site and Server log files
We collect data and HTTP protocol elements through site and server access logs. This is standard with any web server and most content management systems, is not personally identifiable, and is used for Web site development and system administration. The type of information collected includes browser type, IP address, date and time of visit, where you came from, where you went and what you downloaded while visiting the site. The information is stored on a secure server, and in a password-protected database.

Computer Security
We minimize the risk of your details being accessed by malicious users/software, by maintaining up-to-date antivirus and anti-hacker software on our system. We also avoid use of email software commonly targeted by virus programs.

Retention of Records
Being a registered business with quality assurance and other legal obligations, we retain an electronic file system of all emails sent and received, as well as other electronic documents such as receipts/invoices. Once the matter you contact us about, or the type of documentation filed has passed the legal period we are obliged to keep it for, your details are permanently deleted from our system.

Email contact form
Your email address will only be used in relation to the matter you write to us about. It will not be sold, rented/leased to or otherwise given to others without your express permission - unless required to by law. Due to the nature of email, sending information via the internet remains entirely at your own risk, and we will not be responsible for any unauthorized interception, use and disclosure of this information. We use a mail-form as it affords some protection against spam bots and malicious users.

Newsletter subscribers
Subscribers to our newsletter are assured that their details will not be sold, rented/leased to or otherwise given to others without their express permission - unless required to by law. Minimal personal details are required to subscribe, and these details are stored in a secure database accessible only by the owner of Nexture. Receipt of our newsletter is a voluntary opt-in choice, and subscribers may cancel at any time using the unsubscribe button on our website. We do not purchase subscriber lists, nor do we engage in spamming activities.

Client confidentiality
Client confidentiality is extremely important to us, therefore we do not provide any personal names/email addresses for the purpose of referee reports, nor do we list website names/URL's or images of client sites in a "portfolio" of work - unless we have permission to do so. Clients always retain the right to withdraw this permission at any time, without reason - by simply contacting us. We may provide an overview of the work we've done in broad, non-identifying generalizations - eg. large international construction company.

Cookies
The software that runs this site uses cookies rather than sessions to manage member logins. Their job is to keep you logged in for a pre-set amount of "inactive" time. They should then log you out of the site automatically and expire if no browser activity has occurred during this period. The cookies used by our site do not transmit information about your internet activities, and they can be easily be cleared from your computer by selecting Tools > Internet Options > Delete Cookies. Doing so while logged in to the site will log you out though!

This site may have 3rd party advertising that may result in tracking cookies being placed on your computer. These are for the purposes of tracking affiliate program memberships, and while we make every effort to ensure we deal only with reputable organizations, we cannot be held responsible for their inappropriate use of cookies.

Any pop-up ads responsible for cookies when visiting this site are time-delayed exit consoles associated with the previous site you visited, or have been triggered by browser enhancements such as HotBar.

Favicon
Some webmaster sites have recognized that visitors may have concerns that the favicon.ico file is a way for webmasters to detect if you have bookmarked a site that has this file located on it, and that bookmarking such a site can be exploited in some way. The icon file itself is harmless, and is simply a substitute for the default HTML page icon that normally appears next to the page name. When a site is bookmarked, if no favicon.ico file is present an error report occurs in the server's log files, and if a favicon.ico file is present when the site is bookmarked, then an entry in the access logs shows that this file was called. Please be assured that we don't exploit this feature of the browser, as we're tickled pink that you think enough of our site to bookmark it!

Other security measures
The software used to run this site is kept updated and patched for any security weaknesses identified. Of course, this is no guarantee against malicious attackers.

Can you be traced?
Effectively, yes you can - and unfortunately there are some nasty people out there who will try to abuse inherent weaknesses in internet technology. Through our log files we could possibly trace you to your IP address, based on when you visited this site or sent an email - but we don't know how to do this, and we've got better things to do with our time. Based on your web site's address, you could also be traced via the internet's whois search facility - but that's something we all accept when registering a domain name. Tracing anyone who visited this site would only ever be done when required by law, and would be conducted by the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
