Why we require your information
Madinatuna provides a variety of on-line material, including information about Madinatuna products and services, business information and publicity. Madinatuna collects personally identifiable information when you register with us and use our services. We ask you for personal data only when it is needed to provide goods or services you have enquired about or asked us to provide or to respond to your request for information. You do not need to provide us with personal data simply to browse our site. Madinatuna uses this information in order to customise the content you see on our pages, to fulfil your request for certain products and services, to communicate with you generally and to contact you about special offers, promotions or new events and services.
