Privacy Policy Statement
The following explains our policy regarding the personal information we collect about you.
1. Statement of intent
It is not the intention of Newlins.org to hold any information about visitors to our website unless you specifically give that information to us. Any information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence and will not be passed to ANY third party.
2. Information on visitors
During the course of any visit to any of our sites, the pages you see, along with something called a cookie, are downloaded to your computer (see point 3 for more on this). Most,
if not all, websites do this, because cookies allow the website publisher to do useful things like find out whether the computer (and probably its user) 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. Newlins.org does not use, and will not use tracking cookies. Any cookies should be transitory and should
only be for the purposes of transfering information from one page to another.
3. What is a cookie?
When you enter a site your computer will automatically be issued with a cookie. Cookies are text files that identify your computer to our server. Cookies in themselves do not
identify the individual user, just the computer used. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their site in order to track traffic flows.
Cookies themselves only record those areas of the site that have been visited by the computer in question, and for how long. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies,
to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these, of course, means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that
user.
4. Use and storage of your personal information
When you supply any personal information 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 will only be used internally. It will never be supplied to any third party without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
5. Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information (We charge £10 for information requests.) Please email requests to data@newlins.net).
