THE FUTURE

We
rate your privacy as highly as we rate
our own. For full details, please read
our privacy statement. In brief: like
all website operators, we collect information
about the use and users of our site, so
that we can understand our business better.
But we strictly limit the way we use this
information; our purpose is not to know
about you individually, but to have AGGREGATED
information that tells us how our users
are made up. So, we never ask you for
exact location details (address, phone
number, etc), only for your postcode.
We
ask you to give your correct name, because
pseudonyms are often the resort of people
who want to do silly things in the Forum
pages and other areas where direct access
to the site is accessible. And, of course,
we ask you for your email address so that
we can talk to you, as you can talk to
us.
Your
safeguards:
* We comply with and support the Data
Protection Act, which has recently been
rewritten to be more stringent.
* We NEVER pass information about our
individual users to any other party.
* If you are a member of the site, you
can change or permanently delete any records
of yourself from our database at any time,
by clicking on your name at the foot of
the page.
THIS
SITE IS FAMILY FRIENDLY, and suitable
for children.
