8. Privacy Policy
8.1 Introduction
Bookmark Content is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We believe that the best way to protect the privacy of users of www.patekphilippebiography.com (the ‘Site’) is to tell you what information we gather and ensure that you understand and consent to Bookmark Content’s uses of information you provide. We may occasionally modify the Privacy Policy and will post the revised Privacy Policy on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we use or disclose it.

You remain responsible for the security of your computer at all times.
