Data collection and use
The Lambeth Conservative Group strives to meet 'P3P' standards (the 'Platform for Privacy Preferences Project') on data privacy. We are the sole owner of any information we collect. We never sell, share, or rent this information unless we first disclose the fact in this privacy statement. We collect data in seven different ways.
Site registration
We collect your name and contact information (including postal & email address). At your option, we may also collect your gender and date of birth. This information is used for site customisation and contacting visitors (you may opt out of this usage). This data will be used by ourselves and our agents.
Keep up to date
We ask for your name, postcode and email address if you subscribe to our email newsletters. We use this information to contact you about www.conservatives.lambeth.com and let you know what Conservatives are doing throughout the borough.
Volunteer
We collect your postal address and volunteering preference. This information will be used by ourselves and your local Conservative Association.
Feedback
To send us a message using our feedback forms we collect your name, email address and comments. At your option we may also collect your postal code. This data will be used by ourselves and our agents for contacting you. You may opt out of any future mailing.
Log files
We may use IP addresses, URL's of requested resources, timestamps and HTTP user-agents to analyse trends, administer the system and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Cookies
Cookies are a technology which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a website. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
Links
Our website links to other sites. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites: make sure you read their privacy statements if you are concerned about the information they are collecting about you. This statement only applies to our website.
Security
We take every precaution to protect your details. When you submit sensitive information via the website, it is secure both on its way to us and once we receive it.
If you use Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you can tell whether a page is secure by checking whether there is a locked padlock or key in the right corner of your browser. The URL of the page you are viewing will also begin with https://.
We also do everything in our power to protect your information once we have received it. Our staff can only access your details if they have a specific job to perform, such as dealing with a membership enquiry. They also have to keep up to date on our security and privacy practices.
Supplementing information
We take our responsibilities to protect you from fraud very seriously.
We recognise that details such as your post code or email address are bound to change over time. We will do what we can to ensure that you can change the information we hold about you.
Choice/opt out
You will always be able to opt out of having your information used for any purpose other than that specifically related to the page where we ask for it.
If you ever want to stop us getting in touch, you can opt out by following the instructions at the foot of every email we send.
Notification of changes
If we change our privacy policy, we shall post a link to those changes on our homepage so that you always know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
When we collect information from you, we tell you what we intend to do with it; if we later want to use that information for a different purpose, we shall first send you an email setting out our plans - and it will be up to you whether or not we do so.
