Woodbridge Cruising Club

Statement of privacy

Woodbridge Cruising Club(referred to in this document as ‘WCC’) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This WCC Privacy Statement applies to the WCC website (www.woodbridgecruisingclub.co.uk) and governs data collection and usage at all WCC sites and services worldwide. By using the WCC websites, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

This privacy statement applies to all WCC sites and services. Please read the complete WCC Privacy Statement below.

Collection of your personal information and the Data Protection Act 1998

At some sites, the WCC collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. At other sites, the WCC collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you. Some sites collect a combination of the two types of information. Information collected at one of the WCC’s websites may be shared within the WCC as a whole including the WCC’s group of websites. Personal and demographic data may be stored and processed outside your country (if outside the United Kingdom) and by using the WCC’s website, you consent to any such transfers being made outside your country.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by the WCC and may be shared with other websites within the WCC’s group of websites. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by the WCC for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the WCC websites.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the WCC’s website, you are encouraged to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from the WCC’s website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. The WCC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the WCC and the WCC’s group of websites.

Use of your personal information

The WCC’s websites collect and use your personal information to operate the WCC websites and deliver the services you have requested. The WCC may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

The WCC does not sell, rent or lease its membership lists to third parties. The WCC may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the WCC, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The WCC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race or religion, without your explicit consent.

The WCC keeps track of the websites and pages that our customers visit within the WCC, in order to determine what WCC sites and services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content within the WCC to customers whose browsing behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

The WCC will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the WCC or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the WCC and its group of websites and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the WCC, its websites, or the public.

Use of cookies

The WCC’s websites may use "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the WCC pages, a cookie helps the WCC to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, delivery addresses, and so on. When you return to the same WCC website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the WCC features that you customised.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the WCC services or websites you visit.

Security of your personal information

The WCC secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. The WCC secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

Changes to this statement

The WCC will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect member feedback. The WCC encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how the WCC is protecting your information.

The WCC welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Statement. If you believe that the WCC has not adhered to this Statement, please contact the WCC by e-mail. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
