WSN recognises that your privacy may be very important to you and

who may have access to that information. We at WSN take the issue
of information privacy seriously and commit to preserving your privacy
at all times.
WSN is committed to protecting your personal information. We believe
that our privacy policy is both fair and represents sound industry
practice. The Internet Industry Association is developing a Code
which provides a high standard of privacy protection. WSN is committed
to complying with this Code, and building on the high levels of
trust that it enjoys with it's clients. WSN will comply with any
laws introduced to strengthen the protection of consumers' right
to privacy.
WSN does not collect or monitor any personal information about
you without your consent. Only information you willingly provide
directly to WSN is collected and stored. Examples are: through subscribing
to various services such as our newsletter, or identifying yourself
when requesting information to be sent to you. The only personal
information we collect is what you tell us about yourself. For example,
when you fill out a request form, we collect the details you enter
to enable us to post information to you. When you answer questions
about what you would like to see we keep this information so as
to better serve you.

in system logs. This information may include your web-browser version,
date & time of visit & your operating system version.
