From
time to time, you will be asked to submit personal
information about yourself (e.g. name and email address
etc) in order to receive or use services on our website.
Such services include newsletters, information release
notification, etc. By entering your details in the

service providers to provide you with the services
you select. Whenever you provide such personal information,
we will treat that information in accordance with
this policy. Our services are designed to give you
the information that you want to receive. The owners
will act in accordance with current legislation and
aim to meet current Internet best practice.
Visitor
Information
During
the course of any visit to the site, the pages you
see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded
to your computer. Most, websites do this because cookies
allow the website publisher to do useful things like
find out whether the computer has visited the site
before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking
to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the
last visit.
Use
of Personal Information
When
you supply any personal information to the site we
have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal
with that data. We must collect the information fairly,
that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell
you if we want to pass the information on to anyone
else. In general, any information you provide to the
site and/or owners will only be used within the site
and by its service providers. It will never be supplied
to anyone outside the site without first obtaining
your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by
law to disclose it. Also, if you post or send offensive
or inappropriate content anywhere on or to the site
and the owners considers such behaviour to be serious
and/or repeated, the owners can use whatever information
that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour.
This may include informing relevant third parties
such as your employer, school or e-mail provider about
the content and your behaviour. We will hold your
personal information on our systems for as long as
you use the service you have requested, and remove
it in the event that the purpose has been met, or,
in the case of site membership you no longer wish
to continue your registration as a site member. We
will ensure that all personal information supplied
is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection
Act 1998. If you are notified on the site that your
information may be used to allow the owners to contact
you for "service administration purposes",
this means that the owners may contact you for a number
of purposes related to the service you have signed
up for.
