This Global Internet Privacy Policy (this "Policy") describes how China Stone protects your privacy when we collect personal information on China Stone Internet websites.

This Policy applies, in general, to all Internet websites operated by or on behalf of China Stone and its business units worldwide (each a "China Stone Internet website").

2.Website privacy statements

Although this Policy applies to all China Stone Internet websites generally, each China Stone Internet website has a different purpose and different features. If additional or different disclosures are required with respect to a specific China Stone Internet website, we will provide those disclosures on the website itself or in a separate web website privacy statement ("Web website Privacy Statement") posted on that website. Each individual disclosure or Web website Privacy Statement supplements and amends this Policy, but only with respect to the China Stone Internet website on which it is posted.

4. Information collected and how it may be used

When you access and use our website, there are 3 ways we may collect information about you:

4.1 China Stone collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as Macintosh or Windows ) and the name and version of your browser. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.

The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our websites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our Internet visitors.

4.2 Information collected by placing a "cookie" on your computer

China Stone may obtain information about you by installing a "tag" on your computer's hard drive. This tag is known as a "cookie." All of our C websites use "session cookies." A session cookie is used to tag your computer with a computer-generated, unique identifier when you access our website. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use our websites – which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyze this information (known as "clickstream data") in statistical form to better understand our visitors’ interests and needs to improve the content and functionality of our websites.

4.3 Some our websites also use "persistent cookies." These cookies do not expire when you close your browser; they stay on your computer until you delete them. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we are able to create a database of your previous choices and preferences, and in situations where these choices or preferences need to be collected again, they can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort. For example, after you make a purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address will have been retained and will only need to be confirmed.

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit a China Stone Internet website, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of the website if your browser rejects our cookies.

5. Information you knowingly and voluntarily provide

China Stone collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use a China Stone website. For example, the information you provide when you sign up to receive email alerts, when you complete a survey, or when you ask us a question or email us with feedback. In many cases this information will be personal information.

China Stone uses this information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, we use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail alerts you request.

We may also use the information we collect on our websites for various business purposes such as customer service, fraud prevention, market research, improving our products and services, and providing you with information and offers we believe may be of interest to you. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes.

Many of our websites permit you to make choices about the use of your personal information. In most cases, we ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your personal information.

6. Sharing personal information

China Stone will not sell personal information collected from its websites to mailing list brokers without your express consent.

China Stone may share your personal information with other China Stone business units. When we do so, these other China Stone business units will use your information in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under this Policy, any applicable Country or Web website Privacy Statements, and all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

China Stone may also share your personal information with third parties we hire to perform support services for us. These third parties are required to use the personal information we share with them only to perform services on our behalf and to treat your personal information as strictly confidential.

In some cases, China Stone may share your personal information with third parties who partner with us to provide products and services to our customers. When we do so, we will require our business partners to use the personal information we share with them in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under this Policy, any applicable country or website Privacy Statements, and all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

In certain, limited circumstances we may share or transfer personal information to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to a third party (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (iii) to investigate a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of China Stone or a China Stone business unit; or (v) under similar circumstances. If such an event occurs, we will take appropriate steps to protect your personal information.

Many of our websites permit you to make choices about the disclosure and/or transfer of your personal information. In most cases, we ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your personal information.

7. Security of personal information

Your personal information will generally be stored in China Stone databases or databases maintained by our service providers. Most of these databases are stored on servers located in the United Kingdom. To the extent required by law, if your personal information will be transferred outside your country an appropriate notice will be provided.

China Stone maintains reasonable safeguards to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personal information. For example, we use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to transfer personal information over the Internet. Although we use security measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure, misuse or alteration, as is the case with all computer networks linked to the Internet, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet and will not be responsible for breaches of security beyond our reasonable control.

8. Data encryption and physical security

All our websites secured using a SSL certificate. This ensures that in certain areas we use industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions via the World Wide Web and provides many security features, including: authentication, encryption and data integrity. If any other Internet user intercepts the communication he/she will only be able to see it in an encrypted (garbled) form. Certificate technology allows us to decrypt the information, and view it in plain text form.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information offline. All of our user information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers information is protected. And finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.

9. Controllers of personal information

All our customers have the right to know what information we keep about them and how the information is used. Customes have the right to have any inaccurate information corrected or deleted. If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact our customer service department.
