Privacy Policy

At Word on the Streets, we recognize that privacy is important. This privacy policy applies to the site and the use of emails to communicate with  contacts. 

We hold contact information on the basis of 'legitimate interest' - one of the legal reasons for doing so. The legitimate interest is a mutual connection with faith-based organisations. In addition, some contacts have registered for email updates and so in effect have opted in. An option is given in each mailing to unsubscribe.
 

Our principles

We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others.
 

What information do we collect?

We collect information through sign-ups on the site.

The information we hold is your first and last name, email and Town (in case we need to create a specific email for a location).
 

We collect information through publically available information on websites.

The information we hold is your first and last name, email and details of the church or faith organisation you are linked to.

We collect information through referrals by your work colleagues.
The information we hold is your first and last name, email and details of the church or faith organisation you are linked to.

We are given information through personal meetings.
The information we hold is your first and last name, email and details of the church or faith organisation you are linked to.

We collect information about site visits.
So we can improve the website and the type of articles we put on the site, we need to see what areas of the site are used and what articles are read. We therefore collect certain standard information about visits to the site so we can analyse usage. This is not linked to your identity but rather shows that a visit by someone to the site happened at this time and what article was read.

Who will have access to your information?

Only Word on the Streets personnel.
 

What else you should know about privacy

Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of, and access to, your own computer.
 

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the internet that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your usernames and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the internet.
