SouthernAstrology.co.za strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet
technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number)
subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell, barter, or rent your
email address to any unauthorized third party.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example,
you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain
portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you
make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes
and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our
site. Like most Web sites, our company also collects information automatically
and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors.
For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie
technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other
things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having
to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of
times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we
adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means.
In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example
by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable
to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not
share your information with anyone. Aggregated Information (information that does
not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine
information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited
most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does
not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected
on SouthernAstrology.co.za to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and
products offered by SouthernAstrology.co.za and other topics we think you might find
of interest. Personally Identifiable Information collected by SouthernAstrology.co.za
may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration,
troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes
and contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example)
may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell,
buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user
information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information
in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required
to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or
to law enforcement authoritie
s whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
SouthernAstrology.co.za expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect
the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners,
advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible through our site,
may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example,
during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame of content
that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through our company web
sites you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. SouthernAstrology.co.za is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy
policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party. While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third
parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences
or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third
parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have
seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer
services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
SouthernAstrology.co.za does not control the use of this technology by third parties
or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of
such third parties. You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result
in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond
the control of SouthernAstrology.co.za and this policy.
Children
SouthernAstrology.co.za does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover
we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we
will delete that information immediately. If you believe SouthernAstrology.co.za has
any information from or about anyone under 13, please contact us at the address listed

Changes to this Policy
SouthernAstrology.co.za reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please
check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following
the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information
collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules
and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of this Site are governed by in our personal jurisdiction
and city, province and country where we are physically located. If a dispute arises
under this Policy we agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually
agreed-upon mediator in our personal jurisdiction and city, province and country
where we are physically located. Any costs and fees other than attorney fees associated
with the mediation will be shared equally by each of us. If it proves impossible to
arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to submit the
dispute to binding arbitration in our personal jurisdiction and city, province and
country where we are physically located, under the rules of the Cape Law Society.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court with
jurisdiction to do so. This statement and the policies outlined herein are not intended
to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
