Disclosure of Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information to Third Parties
We may use certain information about you (such as the age bracket that you belong to, or the postcode that you live in) for demographic analysis.

Salonline gives you the opportunity to give Reviews and Ratings for local businesses. Your User Name may appear next to your user reviews and ratings as they are posted on The Site. We may also use and disclose your user name, reviews or portions thereof and ratings in any other manner, including in marketing materials.
Aggregated General Information
In addition, we may share aggregated general information about our Site with our business partners or the general public. Aggregated data does not contain any information that could be used to contact or identify you. For example, we may count the number of users who have made a review that belong to a particular postcode.
Cookies
We use a feature of Internet Web browsers called a "Cookie", which is a file that a Visitor's Web browser places on a Visitor's computer's hard drive, to assign an identification code to the computer and to collect and store Information. We associate the Information obtained about a User to the User's Personally Identifiable Information. We do not and cannot use Cookies to retrieve individual Personally Identifiable Information about Visitors from a Visitor's computer. Cookies do not contain any credit card information. The Cookie technology we use cannot obtain information from a Visitor's hard drive or pass on a computer virus.

Linked Internet Web Sites
The Site provides hyperlinks, which are highlighted words or pictures within a hypertext document that, when clicked, take you to another place within the document or to another document altogether, to other web sites not controlled by us.

SPAM
The Site has a strictly Anti-SPAM policy. We have minimised the likelihood of a business receiving SPAM through the use of electronic forms that hide a business's e-mail from potential SPAM search engines.
If in the event an e-mail address is posted by a user or a business on Salonline, it is not to be inferred as consent by the user or business to receiving unsolicited commercial electronic messages or SPAM.
