Collecting personal information is necessary if we are to satisfy the expectations and requirements of our users and supporters and to promote our aims, for example, by communicating with you and providing an interactive service.

What information do we collect?

We collect two kinds of information about our users:

• Non-personal information such as IP addresses (the location of the computer on the internet), pages accessed and files downloaded. This helps us to determine how many people use our sites, how many people visit on a regular basis, which pages are most popular and which pages are least popular. This information doesn't tell us anything about who you are or where you live, it simply allows us to monitor and improve our service.
• Personal information such as name, postal address, telephone number, email address, date of birth (where appropriate), card or bank details, information about your interests and hobbies etc. We collect this information only in connection with specific activities, such as newsletter requests, registration or membership requests, product purchases, feedback, donations, competition entries etc. The information is either needed to fulfil your request or to enable us to provide you with a more personalised service. You don't have to disclose any of this information to browse the sites. However, if you do choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services.

How is the information used?

We will use the information you provide to us to:

• Fulfil your requests, for example applications for membership, donations, competition entries, participation in campaigns and provision of information
• Process sales transactions, donations, or other payments and verify financial transactions
• Identify contributors
• Handle orders, deliver products and communicate with you about orders
• Identify visitors
• Provide a personalised service to you when you visit our websites e.g. by customising the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual user
• Record any contact we have with you
• Prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our websites and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf
• In aggregate (and therefore anonymously) to profile your use of the websites and carry out research on our users' demographics, interests and behaviour to help us gain a better understanding of how our users navigate and use the websites, and to enable us to improve our service to you
• Improve our service to our users
• Communicate with our supporters and customers
• Provide you with information which we think may be of interest to you, as explained below
