Collection of your personal information
FitChips collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. FitChips also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your postcode, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.

 There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by FitChips. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by FitChips for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the FitChips Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through FitChips public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: FitChips does not read any of your private online communications.

FitChips encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from FitChips so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.

In addition, FitChips may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to FitChips, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

FitChips does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

FitChips keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within FitChips, in order to determine what FitChips services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within FitChips to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
