Billericay Lions Club Privacy Policy

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Privacy Policy

Billericay Lions respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. It provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of its Privacy Policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and how that information is used. We make this notice readily available on our home page and at the bottom of every web page on this site.

What information we collect from you

There are two types of information we collect: information that allows us to identify specific individuals and information of a more generalised nature.

Personal information

Whenever we ask for information that enables us to identify you it will be clear that we are doing so and in every case you will have a choice of how we use the information that is asked for. Information of this type will only be asked for on those parts of our web site that allows transactions to be performed, in contrast to those parts of our web site that are merely informational in their function.

Information of this type will also be collected when you contact us directly by email for any reason or if you specifically request that we send you information.

Anonymised information

This website uses cookies to help you in your interactions with the site. No personally identifiable data is collected. This type of information helps us to enhance the web site and improve its navigability. It also helps us to improve the quality of the online sector and information you can access. In order to facilitate this, we use cookies to identify specific information about your visits to the site.

This website is hosted by TSO Host using cPanel who provide standard metrics out of the box https://cpanel.com. Google Analytics www.google.com/intl/en_uk/analytics is also available but is currently not used. These allow us to track how popular our site is and to record visitor trends over time. Google Analytics uses a cookie to help track which pages are accessed. The cookie contains no personally identifiable information, but it does use your computer’s IP address to determine where in the world you are accessing the site from, and to track your page visits within the site.

From time to time, we may embed external content from third-party websites (e.g. Facebook, YouTube) within our website. These websites may utilise cookies and the Privacy Policy that will apply to such third-party content will be that published on the website of that third-party content provider.

Billericay Lions do not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from the Billericay Lions websites. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The Billericay Lions Privacy Policy does not cover the personal data that you choose to give to unrelated third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any organisation before submitting your personal information.

Children’s Privacy

Billericay Lions are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.
