Collection of your

When you provide us
with your personal information via the Capon & Hubert web site, we
will inform you of how the information will be used. We value your
trust in the Capon & Hubert web site. In all cases, your information
will be held in strict confidence. The types of personal information
that we collect from you will depend on how you use the Capon &
Hubert web site.
Whenever a page is
requested from our web server, Capon & Hubert records the time, date
and URL of the request, along with information on the browser
software that is being used. We also anonymously track the pattern
of visitor usage across the Capon & Hubert web site. Capon & Hubert
will do this by issuing an anonymous user ID. This anonymous ID uses
a feature in your web browser called a Cookie. This cookie
identifies and recognises the computer (but not the person using the
computer) when you visit Capon & Hubert web sites. Cookies are
pieces of information that a website can transfer to an individual's
computer hard drive for record keeping. Cookies can make using Capon
& Hubert easier by storing information about your preferences on a
particular website. This will enable you to take full advantage of

The use of cookies
is an industry standard and you'll find most major websites use
them. Most Internet browsers are pre-set to accept cookies. If you
prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser
to disable cookies or to warn you when cookies are being used.
We will not collect
any personal information from you revealing racial or ethnic origin,
political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union
membership, or details of health, disability or sexual activity or
orientation. Exceptions to this include:
-
where you have given express consent to Capon & Hubert to do so;
-
where there are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is
necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;
-
the use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce
the law;
-
or
when the information is necessary for the establishment,
exercise or defence of a legal claim.

Personally identifiable characteristics are removed and the user
remains anonymous, unless you have given prior specific consent for
Capon & Hubert to recognise your usage. Additional data provided to

may use this personal information or data for a purpose other than
these purposes (specified above) if :

you would reasonably expect us to use the personal information
for that other purpose; and
-
that other purpose is related to these purposes (specified
above). For example, sending you emails providing essential
information.
Capon & Hubert will
only send emails to you if you have elected to receive such emails
or if they are in response to an email we have received from you. If
we wish to use any of this personal information, information or data
for any purpose other than those specified above, we will not do so
unless we have your express consent to do so. Exceptions to this
include:
-
where there are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is
necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;
-
where Capon & Hubert suspects that unlawful activity is or has
been engaged in and uses the personal information, information
or data to investigate the suspected unlawful activity;
-
or
the use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce
the law.
These uses may
include where Capon & Hubert is required to provide information in
response to subpoenas or warrants or other legal processes.

reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or
disclose is accurate, complete, up-to-date and stored in a secure
environment accessed only by authorised persons. Transmissions sent
