Website Privacy Statement

This page explains how this site, which is managed by HORSTEAD CENTRE, uses any information you give to us, and the ways in which we protect your privacy.

Cookies

We use cookies on this website. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by the websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, or enhance the user experience, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site (ie for making customer-focused improvements to the site).

The law that applies to how cookies are used for storing information on your equipment (such as your computer or mobile device) changes on 25 May 2018. In general, you must provide specific, informed consent to the use of cookies or comparable tracking technology. However, under Recital 66 of the GDPR where cookies are strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service that you have requested then your consent to processing may be expressed by using the appropriate settings of a browser or other application.

So we will now provide you with clear information about how our site uses cookies, and how to disable them if you wish.

We use cookies on the HORSTEAD CENTRE website for collecting website usage data (via Google Analytics). Any information we collect via these cookies is used anonymously simply to improve and enhance your experience of our website. We will not use the information to identify individuals or share it with anyone else.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. This may, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, and may prevent you from accessing some services available on this website.

Data Protection

Under the General Data Protection Regulations 2018 , we have a legal duty to protect any personally identifiable information we collect from you. We do not pass on your details to any third party unless you give us permission or if HORSTEAD CENTRE is legally obliged to do so. Our website contains a copy of the HORSTEAD CENTRE Data Protection Policy.

What information do we collect?

If you are a user with general public and anonymous access the HORSTEAD CENTRE website does not store or capture personal information, but merely logs the user's IP address that is automatically recognised by the web server. The IP address is considered personal information so it will not be used for profiling or marketing purposes without gaining informed consent from you.

We do not use cookies for collecting user information and we will not collect any information about you except that required for system administration of our web server.

We collect information from visitors to the HORSTEAD CENTRE website in the following way:

• Requests for information or services via email and online form

Contacting us

You can ask for information or request services in 5 ways: by requests and questions sent by an online form, e-mail, phone, post or in person. You can make comments and give us your feedback in the same way.

If you send an e-mail or complete a form on the website asking for information or a service, or sending a comment that requires a response, it will be passed to the appropriate department who will respond to you. We do not pass on your details to any third party unless you give us permission or if the Trust is legally obliged to do so.

Storage Limitation

After we have replied to you, we will keep a record of your message for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. Therefore, unless the personal data contained in the message is being processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest (e.g. safeguarding a child or a health and safety issue) the message will be deleted immediately upon the resolution of your enquiry or request for information.

Site usage information - Log files

Log files allow the owners of a website to record visitors' use of the site and put together log file information in order to make changes to the layout of the site and to the information in it, based on the way that visitors move around it. Log files do not contain any personal information or information about which other sites you have visited. Currently the HORSTEAD CENTRE website does not use log files.
