This statement relates to personal information which may be collected in the course of you visiting and using this website. The host of this website collects certain information in the course of conducting this website on behalf of Mark Webber.

What information is collected and why?

Generally, personal information is only collected via this website when it is provided voluntarily by you - for example, by sending an email to Mark, you will be supplying your name and email address. Those details will be used if Mark needs to respond to your email. Mark welcomes your good luck messages and questions but please don't include personal information about other people unless they have agreed to you doing so - some things about another person that you consider appropriate to include in your emails may deserve privacy in that person's eyes.

When you subscribe, we will add your details to our mailing list so that we can send you information regarding the particular update you have requested - whether it's news from us or Mark's sponsors regarding Mark's progress (sometimes including press clippings) or our more general update service including items which we or Mark's sponsors think will be of interest to you, such as general motor racing news, details of new information on this website, competitions or special offers. If you prefer that we not use your details this way - or if you need to update your contact details - please tell us by clicking on the 'update or unsubscribe' link on the homepage.

If we make merchandise and other products available online via this website, any financial information (such as credit card details) which you provide in order to pay online will be used only for processing that payment. Your other personal contact details (including your name and email address) will be added to our mailing list so that we can send you details about other offers and information from our general update service which we think will be of interest to you. If you prefer that we not use your details this way - or if you need to update your contact details - please tell us by clicking on the 'update or unsubscribe' link on the homepage.

When you visit this website or download information from it, the following information is recorded:

• your server or proxy address;
• the date, time and length of your visit to this website; and
• any files you download.

This information is collected for statistical purposes and in order to monitor server traffic. Except where required by law, no attempt will be made to identify you or your browsing activities.

What about cookies?

A 'cookie' is a small message given to your web browser by our web server. The browser stores the message in a text file, and the message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This website will make limited use of cookies in the event that we allow you to select photos from the Photo Gallery to send as an E-Card - using cookies will help us to ensure that when you are sending an E-Card as a reply, it is sent to the last E-Card you viewed.

Who is information disclosed to?

We may disclose information about you to Mark and his advisors, agents, licensees and sponsors, including those who are located outside Australia, to assist with handling your emails and questions and, where you have subscribed for a service, to provide you with information or offers (circulated by us or our sponsors) via our mailing list.

Security and access
