Privacy Statement
Our Policy
DIPEx respects your right to privacy and this statement is intended to identify the ways in which we collect and intend to use information that you transmit when you visit the site to enable us to provide material that fits your needs and provides a useful service.
Collection of Information
On DIPEx we do not ask you to register or supply information voluntarily. We may, however, to make the site more responsive to your and other users' requirements, use "cookies" (the information sent from a web server to your browser identifying which internet sites you have visited) to enable us to tailor the site's content to your interests. We may also use cookies to track the pages of the site that are most visited to identify which are of most interest. You can set your browser not to accept cookies, but if you do we will be less able to provide a service that most closely matches your needs.
Use of Information
We will use the information provided by you within DIPEx for the purposes specified in this Privacy Statement but will not sell, trade or rent the information we get from you to any third parties. We may, however, disclose such information where it is necessary to comply with the law, or to enforce or apply our Site Terms of Use or to protect our rights and those of other site users. DIPEx complies with the UK Data Protection Act 1998.
All information collected from you is encrypted for storage purposes within a database controlled by us. No encryption technology is completely impenetrable and, like all web-site operators, we cannot absolutely guarantee the security of the database or that the information you supply to us will not be intercepted over the Internet. Whilst, you will not be asked to provide any personal data (i.e. your name, address, telephone number) that could identify you, any information you post in the Forum will be available to anyone with Internet access.
Change of Policy
If we need to change our privacy policy at any point, we will post changes on this page.
