We only use this information for statistical, reporting and website administration and maintenance purposes.

In general, we collect your personal information from our website when you provide it to us voluntarily (e.g. when signing up for our newsletter, registering for an event or contacting us including through a message or feedback form or by phone or email). When you send us an email, the contents of your email and personal information (e.g. your name, email address and other information you provide) are collected. We collect, store and use this information including to respond to queries and to provide services and information to members and subscribers. You always have the option to unsubscribe at any time.

Using and disclosing information

We use the information we collect and store for the purpose for which it was collected, and to provide information and services to, and communicate with, you.

Security

There are risks in transmitting information across the internet, so while we strive to protect information transmitted to us online, we cannot ensure or warrant its security and you do this at your own risk. Sending or publishing information to the internet places that information in the public domain, where it can be picked up by search engines, even if removed by us or the website owner or publisher. Once we receive personal information, we take reasonable steps to protect information we collect from loss and misuse and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. In certain circumstances, we may be required by law to provide personal information to third parties (e.g. law enforcement agencies).
