Privacy Policy

• General
  
  Our Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that a user may provide via the Confederation of Indian Organisations (UK) website. Whenever the site is used, consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  
  Ways that we collect information:
  
  Information is gathered both explicitly and technologically, through the use of various methods such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies which do not collect or store personal information.
  An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to enable you to access the internet. It is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information because the IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer).
  We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, and determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and to administer and improve the site.
  
  Cookies
  
  A cookie is a piece of data stored locally on your computer and contains information about your activities on the internet. On our website, we use cookies to track users' progress through the site, allowing us to make improvements based on usage data. The information in a cookie does not contain personally identifiable information submitted to our site.
  Once you close your browser, our access to the cookie terminates. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose not to accept the cookie, this will not affect your access to the majority of information available on our website. However, you may not be able to make full use of our online services.
  
  Monitoring of e-mail
  
  We may monitor e-mail communications with Confederation of Indian Organisations (UK) (including Confederation of Indian Organisations (UK) staff members) in accordance with the law.
  
  Web Statistics
  
  We use log files generated by our web servers to analyse site usage and statistics but the files do not identify any personal information. Log file analysis helps us to understand usage patterns on our website and to make improvements to our service.
  
  Disclosure
  
  Except when otherwise stated, we may use information you provide via this site to improve the content, to customise the site to your preferences, to communicate information, for internal marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. We do not disclose any information you provide via the site to any third parties or other government
  departments except where:
  
  1. Required by applicable laws, courts orders, or government regulations (for example to prevent or detect crime).
  2. You give us permission to do so.
  3. Verify payment details for online donations.
  
  Such disclosures are necessary to fulfill our service obligations to you in which case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  We will take all reasonable steps in accordance with our legal obligations to update or correct personally identifiable information in our possession that you submit via this site.
  
  Security
  
  Confederation of Indian Organisations (UK) takes all reasonable steps to protect any information you submit via our website, both online and offline, in accordance with legislation including, but not limited to, the Data Protection Act 1998.
