What is this Privacy Policy for?

This privacy policy governs the privacy of this website (trans-mission.org) and the people who choose to visit it.

The policy sets out the different areas where visitor privacy is concerned and outlines the obligations and requirements of visitors, the website and website owners. Furthermore the way in which we process, store and protect visitor data and information is also detailed.

The Website

We recognise the importance of the privacy of visitors to the Trans-MISSION web-site given the sensitive nature of the content and of the visitors to the site itself. We ensure the necessary steps are taken to comply with all UK national laws and requirements in this respect.

Use of Cookies

We do not use cookies to monitor users visiting this website.

We do, however, have sponsored links and adverts. Such adverts may include the use of cookies to track the number of referrals sent from this website, which may in turn be saved on your computer's hard drive. Often these expire after 30 days. Our advertising partners will have detailed privacy policies relating directly to the adverts they serve, and their use of cookies, and we would advise you to take note of these if this is an area of concern for you.

Storage of Information

Information on visitors to this website is only used for the purposes of understanding more about them. The information stored is that which is freely transmitted every time you use the internet and contains, for example, the time and date of your visit, your operating system, your browser type and the site you visited before this website (the referring site). This information is available to all websites you visit.

Contact and Communication

Visitors contacting this website and/or its owners by e-mail do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested at their own risk. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use, as detailed in the Data Protection Act 1998.

Your details will not be passed on to any third party unless we are legally required to do so.

External Links

The Trans-MISSION website contains lots of links to enable you to visit other websites of interest more easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. We cannot, therefore, be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting other sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy policy. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy policies applicable to the website in question.

Chat Room

A separate set of terms and conditions is provided for users of the chat-room, however the privacy policy above remains valid.
