Privacy Statement

This page explains our privacy policy and how we use any personal information we collect from you when you use this site.

The Data Protection Act

Under the Data Protection Act, we have a legal duty to protect any personal information we collect from you.

What information do we collect?

We may collect several kinds of information from visitors to our site:

• Enquiries (collected through our general contact form)
• Feedback (collected through email you send to us or when you take part in surveys and polls on the Website)
• Usage information (collected through cookies and log files).

What do we do with this information?

Enquiries

If you make an enquiry, we may share your enquiry and personal information amongst appropriate Londonforum members in order for them to respond to you. We will not share it for any other purposes.

Feedback

We value and welcome your feedback.

If you send an email to us seeking advice or information that we are not in a position to give, we may forward your email to appropriate Londonforum members for a response. If we do this we will send you an email informing you of our actions.

Normally any survey and poll information we gather will be used in an anonymous way. If we intend to contact you about your responses to a particular survey we will say so when we ask you to take part in it.

Site usage information: Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are often created when you visit a website, and which are stored in the cookie directory of your computer. Several cookies may be created when you visit Londonforum. We use both permanent cookies and temporary cookies (called session cookies). Permanent cookies stay on your computer between visits. Session cookies disappear when you leave Londonforum and close your browser.

Our Cookies may be used for the following purposes:

• to count the number of times you return to the site and the pages that you visit. This helps us improve our site and identify redundant material
• to store persistent settings. For example a cookie is needed to let us know you have voted in a poll or taken part in a survey.

The information stored in our cookies is kept separate from your User Information and will never be used with it.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies. If you do not know how to do this, contact us, giving details on the type of browser you are using, and we will do our best to help.

Site usage information: Log files

Log files record visitors' use of the site. We can collect information about site usage from the data contained in these logs which we obtain from third parties. Log files do not contain any personal information and they are not used to identify any individual person's use of the site.

What happens when I follow a link to another site?

Londonforum contains links to other websites and to other organisations including our member societies' websites. This privacy policy applies only to this site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement of any other site(s) which collect personal information about you.

We do not pass on any personal information you have given us to any other site.
