Privacy Statement

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

Our website uses cookies to assist volunteer login.  By using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

(1)      What information do we collect?

We may collect, store and use information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation);

(2)      Cookies

A cookie consists of a piece of text sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We use “session” cookies on the website in connection with volunteer login.  We will use the session cookies to keep track of your logged-in status.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website.  Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers until they leave the site.  The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information.  Google's privacy policy is available at:

http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies.  For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.  Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.

Where you submit personal information for publication on our website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the licence you grant to us.

(3)      Policy amendments

We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website.  You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes. 

(4)      Your rights

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you.  Provision of such information will be subject to:

(a)      the payment of a fee (currently fixed at £10.00); and

(b)      the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your passport certified by a solicitor or bank plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).

We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.
