{% blocktrans %} What’s changed? On Thursday 18th October 2012 we updated our privacy policies by consolidating them into one document. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %} Why? We care about your privacy and want to ensure that it is clear what personal information we are collecting from you, when we collect it and what we do with that personal information. By consolidating all of our policies into one place we hope that it will be easier for you to see what we're doing. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %} What's changed? Nothing. We're not doing anything different with your personal information. We're just making things clearer. {% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %} Please read the updated Privacy Policy to find out more. {% endblocktrans %}
