Nowadays it is increasingly easy for personal
information to be gathered on people: people like you. Sometimes
this may be in ways - such as those described below - which
you may not be aware of. Web Publishing Board wants to treat
your personal information with the respect, which it deserves,
as well as treating it in accordance with the law.
During the course of any visit to Green and
White Online, our server downloads the pages which you wish
to see along with something called a Cookie to your computer.
Most, if not all, web sites do this, and that's because cookies
allow the web site publisher to do useful things like find
out that the computer (and probably its user) has visited
the site before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking
to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
Cookies do not identify the user of a computer
and by themselves only record what areas of a site a computer
has been used to visit. It is possible for anyone to set his
or her computer so that cookies are not downloaded from the
web site server, but most people do know about cookies and
do not block them out. Obviously, if you object to Green and
White Online - or anyone else - using cookies you should set
your computer to block them.
Any information that is supplied by cookies
can help us to provide you with a more tailored service and
assist us to analyze the profile of our visitors. For example:
if on a previous visit you went to, say, the news pages then
the server might find this out from your cookie and highlight
news information - which you would probably find interesting
- to you on a second visit.
The legal complications start when you submit
personal information to us in the Registration of the Interaction
section. First of all, we will ask for your consent to Web
Publishing Board holding this personal information. To be
sure that we start off with correct information, when you
submit personal information to us, we ask you to check through
the information in the cookies in your computer to ensure
that it is accurate.
Once we are holding your personal details
on our database then we have an obligation under the law to
hold accurate information, and to let you know what we're
holding if you want to know. We also need to collect the information
fairly - which is one of the reasons why we're telling you
all this.
What we will do is keep a record of your
information. We will not pass your information on to third
parties.
However your information will be exposed
to other people when it comes to the Interactive Contact List.
Other registered users will be able to read your information
entered.
You should read any rules carefully and check
the necessary box if you are happy for us to share your details.
We will not pass on your details without your consent.
