The online environment provides an unprecedented access to information, but the convergence of communication and information technologies also brings a range of information privacy issues to the centre of public concern. We have taken great care to create a web-based environment that ensures your privacy.
Should you have any questions or complaints about privacy issues please contact the Webmaster at info@linearg.com

Mandatory personal information needed for us to provide a service to you. |

Non-personally identifiable (specific or aggregated) information, to improve our services. |

Personal information voluntarily provided by you – for Linear G surveys, at Linear G sites, and in conjunction with third party offers. |
Specific or aggregate information may be collected to help maintain accurate accounts, assist in marketing our products and services and to help make our web site useful to you. For example, our server recognises your domain name and the pages that you visit. This data is gathered in an aggregate manner for quality control and improvement of our sites.
We do not reveal, disclose, sell, distribute, rent, license, share or pass on to any third parties your personal information without your consent.
From time to time Linear G may form relationships with other organisations to bring you special offers, competitions and subscriptions. For any third party offer or subscription, we require as a matter of policy that the third party clearly states their intentions with any information gathered, and attaches their privacy policy as a hyperlink to the offer or subscription.
The terms and conditions of the offer should also be clearly stated.
Please read this information carefully, and understand that it is your own choice should you choose to disclose your personally identifiable information to the third party. The information that you offer to the third party is voluntary.
If the third party offer involves an ongoing communication such as a newsletter, we require as a matter of policy that there be an easy-to-use unsubscribe function, so you are able to opt-out when you want to.
Linear G enters into third party business relationships with care, and will not share, disclose or sell any personally identifiable information collected at our site with third party companies or organisations without these conditions being met.
If you call Linear G by telephone, before any customer personal information is revealed or discussed you must correctly answer the verification of identity questions as a security measure.
Whilst Linear G undertakes all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, sending and receiving information over the Internet is always at your own risk. As with the real world, no guarantee can be given that information sent over the Internet is completely and 100% secure. Linear G assumes that you have taken precautions to ensure the security of your Internet connection and the data sent via that medium (security settings are available in most web browsers).
Your personal password is confidential and is encrypted to ensure its secrecy. With your password, you are able to edit your personal details via the Customer Services pages.
We have configured our mail servers so they cannot be directly used by a third party to send unsolicited commercial email or used as a staging post for an email attack on Linear G members or any other group.
We require our customers to do the same to prevent their mail gateways being abused in a similar fashion. Our Acceptable Use Policy, states that we will not allow our service to be used by you for the purposes of sending such unsolicited email.
Marketing mail from Linear G will generally be "opt-in" / "opt-out". This means that you should not receive any commercial or marketing email from us unless you have requested it, that is, you have opted in. When you opt in, every piece of commercial email will contain an opt-out option, or unsubscribe function. You can send us a message telling us you would prefer not to receive the mail again and we will respect your wishes.
Emails relating to a pre-existing business relationship such as billing and service communications are not spam. These communications include but are not limited to, general Linear G customer news, updates & announcements, welcome letters and any billing information we forward to you by email.
These communications are an essential part of providing our service. Please review our terms and conditions for more information on this topic.
A person must be over the age of 18 to join the Linear G service.
Children should always ask for a parents consent before sending any transmission over the Internet.
