Privacy on our website
All of Somerset &
Wessex Eating
Disorders Association's
services are completely confidential (see our Confidentiality Policy
for more information) and this, of course, includes our website. We
do not require any personal information from you in order for you to
use our site. SWEDA does not pass on any information whatsoever
to third parties but please be aware that the internet and consequently
the SWEDA site is a public place so do not place any personal
or contact information from which you could be identified on the site
(e.g. in the forums,r Guestbook or mailing lists)!
SWEDA will treat any email you send us in complete confidence
as if it were a written letter or telephone call. However it is important
to realise that email is not a secure medium and may be read or intercepted
in transit; PGP encryption is available to alleviate this problem.
Bear in mind too that if you include your email address in a message
in our guestbook or forums it will become generally available to all
(not just other users of our site) and that some advertising/bulk mailing
companies routinely scour the internet for email addresses to target.
You may feel safer setting up a web based email account (which can be
cancelled at a later date) such as Hotmail
or use an email redirecting service.
In any event, you are not required to leave an email address with any
message you leave and feel free to use a nickname or pseudonym if you
prefer (this is very common on most websites anyway). Somerset
& Wessex Eating
Disorders Association
will not pass any information it receives to 3rd parties.
Certain of the Somerset & Wessex Eating Disorders Association website facilities which are managed by 3rd parties may place cookies on your computer.
Are website is hosted by SiteHQ and we use the facilities that they provide for our forums and any information
and as such the privacy of information whilst using these aspects of
the site are dependant on SiteHQ's own Privacy
Statement.
