USE OF IP ADDRESSES
BenMartyn uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with its servers and to administer the quality of the BenMartyn Website. BenMartyn does not use IP addresses to personally identify users and does not track the usage patterns of individual users, but rather how well each page on the BenMartyn site performs overall.

Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. BenMartyn uses cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. Cookies can allow the BenMartyn Website to remember you when you return so you do not have to enter your registration data at each connection.

SECURITY
The BenMartyn Website uses industry standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, BenMartyn will take reasonable steps to protect the safety of your personal information. If you have created an account with BenMartyn, we urge you to keep your password in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also, remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place such as a library or Internet café.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (UNDER THE AGE OF 13)
BenMartyn takes children's privacy seriously and wants children and parents to understand that the Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use this Website. BenMartyn does not permit anyone under the age of 13 to open an account here. BenMartyn does not seek to collect personal information about children through our Website. If BenMartyn becomes aware that a person submitting personal information to us through any part of our Website is a child under the age of 13, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties. Since BenMartyn does not seek to collect any personal information about children, and delete information collected inadvertently as soon as it is discovered that a child has submitted it, BenMartyn typically retains no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before BenMartyn has discovered and deleted the information, BenMartryn will of course honor that request. Please contact us at sales@benmartyn.com.
