Com1 UK Ltd.

Com 1 UK Ltd. was registered with Companies House in August 1997, our Company No. is 3419907.

We are a 'Web-centric' business meaning that all our business is geared towards the Internet and the Web. We have been on-line since November 1997 when our first web site Housingnet went live.

Housingnet is a UK Housing information site covering Private, Social and Student Housing and is currently receiving around 100,000 hits per month on 1800 static and dynamic pages.

26pigs went live in it's original form in May 1999. Back then it consisted of the Comic Library, the largest resource of UK Comic information found on the web. Our goal has always been the site that you see developing before you today but these things don't come cheap so we bided our time until we knew we could do it the way we originally planned.

We also have a Back and Spine resource site, Spine Inc. which has been on-line since July 1998 and is currently receiving around 500 hits per week. Spine Inc. is an evolving site that we add to when time permits.

We have worked hard to make a name for ourselves on the web and hope you enjoy the results.

Chris Green
Managing Director

Privacy

Com 1 UK Ltd. is the company responsible for producing 26pigs.com. We firmly believe that in order to succeed we will need to gain the trust of our visitors so that they feel comfortable with their online experience. We have therefore provided this guide to describe to you what information we take from you, what we will do with it and how this may affect you.

What information does 26 Pigs take from you ?

When registering for 26 pigs you will be asked for several personal details (Personally Identifiable Information - PII). This will include the following.

• Name
• Address
• Postcode
• E-mail Address
• Telephone Number

What will we do with it?

This information will be used to allow you to buy and sell online with us and to provide a more personalised experience. We aim to provide you with a service tailored to your specific requirements so if a collectible appears for sale in which you have previously expressed an interest then we want you to be the first to know about it and will send you an email to this effect.

We may also ask for your phone number which may be used in the event of a problem with your order. In certain circumstances it may be passed onto the courier responsible for delivering any purchases you may have made with us.

None of the PII collected from you is for sale to third party organisations. We do not intend to make details of our customers available to others but if for some reason our policy changes with regard to this you will be informed and will have an opportunity to decline.

Com 1 UK Ltd will carry out studies of information received from its users but this information will be anonymous and will only include information concerning the area in which you live for example which will not be able to identify you personally. This will help us to create aggregated data which will allow us to target our service at a particular area or group.

We may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to 26pigs or to update you with regard to the availability of items you have placed on your 'wants list'. If you would rather not receive this information, please send an e-mail to never@26pigs.com and we will amend our records accordingly.
