Our commitment to privacy

The Crosspool Forum respects your privacy. The information that you provide us with, or that is gathered automatically, helps us to monitor our services and provide to you the services that you are entitled to as a resident of Crosspool or visitor to our website.

Is my visit to this web site anonymous? Yes! Your visit to our site is anonymous (no personal information about you is recorded or gathered) unless you, fill in a survey, or other form requesting information. If you have provided us with your email, postal address, telephone number or any other data and do not want us to contact you in the future, please write to us at our email address or call us on 07713 687 955.

Links

Our website contains links to other sites. Crosspool Forum is not responsible for the privacy practices within any of these other sites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements on other websites you visit which collect personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected on our website.

Your rights: the Data Protection Act 25 May 2018

Our privacy statement covers the Crosspool Forum and its website. Under the Data Protection Act 25 May 2018, we have a legal duty to protect any personal information we collect from you. We do not pass on your details to any third party or government department unless you give us permission to do so or the law requires/permits it. We will only keep such information whilst we have a legitimate reason to do so.

The Crosspool Forum is committed to respecting your privacy. We have structured our website so that, in general, you can visit it without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to provide us with any information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be used for the purpose for which it was originally collected or compatible purposes.

Please be advised that any information, unless stated otherwise, will be sent to us via the open internet and is therefore not secure during transmission to us. This is because your information may pass from your contact pc to an internet service provider and then via other providers to The Crosspool Forum, much in the same way as most e-mail correspondence.

Notification of changes to policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post details of any changes on our homepage. This will help ensure that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we share it with other parties
