Security

Like all who publish information on the web, we are concerned that we can trust our users AND that our users can trust our web site.

This web site includes many security features, all of which are designed to safeguard the information in our database. No system can ever be entirely immune from penetration by 'the baddies' of this world. However, our web site includes countermeasures that will protect it from attack by all but the most determined of attackers.

Your own computer system should therefore be unaffected by your use of this web.

However, it is possible that 'baddies' could try to send you malware via an email that claims to come from this web site. Please treat all emails with suspicion - particularly if they include an attachment or links to web sites that you don't know about. We normally only send emails to those who register with us and, if we do send you an email, the visual style and the content should make it recognisable as ours. If an email which claims to come from us doesn't seem to be right, don't open any attachments or follow any links. You may, if you wish, contact us to check whether we have sent you a message. We'll be happy to co-operate with you.

Our web site includes contact information about businesses, voluntary organisations, clubs etc. We must check that this inforrmation is up to date and intend to contact each business, club or organisation at least once a year. If you would prefer not to discuss this information by phone, you can instead opt to send us an email or complete a form on our site.

We do not store any information about non-registered users. If you have not registered with this web site, we will never normally contact you. The only way that we would be able to contact non-registered users is if we are invited by another organisation - e.g. a club that you belong to might invite us to send emails with details of forthcoming events. This would be unusual and we would always state why we were contacting you. Thus, if anyone ever does approach you to gain personal data under the guise of this web, you can be sure that they do not represent us. Please be careful not to disclose any information that might prejudice your security.

We do store some personal data about registered users. If you have registered with this web site, we may contact you, but only using the email address that is registered with this site. Thus, if anyone ever does approach you in any other way, you can be sure that they do not represent us. There is no charge for using this web site, and there never will be. So, even if we do contact you, we will never ask for personal data or any other information relating to your property, finances or similar. Please be careful not to disclose any information that might prejudice your security.
