Privacy Policy

The privacy policy for the Lancaster Conservative Future website as a whole is that any information you give us or that we obtain about you will not be given to any third parties.

We do not, and will not, gather any personal information about you such as age, sex, location, etc. without your permission. If we do seek this information, it will be done by questionaire and will be optional.

Forum, Feedback and Join Us forms

The information you send us through these forms is not passed onto any third parties and the information received is treated in confidence. Nobody other than Lancaster Conservative Future will have access to the information and data you provide us.

TreeBoard Forum

In order to use this forum/message board, you must have read fully and agree to abide by the message board disclaimer and message board code of conduct, as listed seperately. If you do not agree with it, then you must immediately refrain from using the forum and you must not log in at any time.

Guest accounts will expire after a period of inactivity. The moderation team have the right to refuse access to anybody at any time.

Since forum content is covered by the above stated regulations, permission must therefore be explicitly granted in order for any material to be reproduced elsewhere, online or offline. The reading of content is not a right to reproduce it without permission.

Surfing the site

All requests for pages on the website are logged. The information that is logged includes the browser you are using, the type of computer you are using, where you are connecting from and the page you are requesting. All of this information is passed to our server by your web browser. The browser cannot send personal information about you. This information is primarily used to see how busy the site is and which times of the day/week are busiest. In addition we can use this information to decide what functionality we can safely include on the site.

At some point in the future we may gather additional information, using cookies (see definition below), to determine which, and how many, pages each user is viewing. This will be used to see how the website is being viewed and, therefore, enable us to improve it in a more effective way.

Cookie
A cookie is a piece of information that a website asks your browser to store on your computer. The website can then request this information back to provide you with a customised page. It is used to link the current surfing session to an earlier one. The ticket you get from a cloakroom in a nightclub is a perfect mundane example of a cookie; the only thing it's useful for is to relate a later transaction to this one (so you get the same coat and scarf back).
