​

We may collect information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

​

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalized service. They enable us:

​

  • To estimate our audience size and usage patterns

  • To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customize our site according to your individual interests

  • To speed up your searches

  • To recognize you when you return to our site

​

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system may issue cookies when you log on to our site.

​

3. Where we store your personal data

​

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a secure destination of our choosing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site or via electronic mail; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

​

4. Uses made of the information

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To ensure that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer

  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us

  • To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service, when you choose to do so

  • To notify you about changes to our products and services

5. Disclosure of your information

​

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our company.

In the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.

​

If Searchlight or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, we reserve the right to transfer personal data held by Searchlight about its customers to the acquirer.

​

We may disclose your personal information to a third party if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce or apply our Terms of Use or Confidentiality and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Searchlight, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies, organizations, or law enforcement agencies for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, and protection of our intellectual property.

​
