SITE DESCRIPTION

The WYC Website is primarily a static site designed as a web presense, it does however contain a post & comments page we use for feedback which resides in the members area only,  personal details are minimal or at the users discretion. However if a visitor wishes to provide a higher degree of their personal information within the contact form as an example, then we make sure as with all visitors, that they are aware of our privacy policy (This document) and for which a link is always displayed in the footer bar. Any person entering data will be required to have ticked the GDPR box on any forms before submission.

OUR VIEW

1. At WYC your privacy is very important to us and we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
2. We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
3. We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, protect our rights and for the day to day running and administration of WYC.
4. We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
5. We don’t store web gathered information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
6. We respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
The main information we ask for and hold is via our contact form, which also carries a GDPR tick box 

 If you send us media via upload or to our site and viewable by other visitors, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

WHEN YOU VISIT US

Gathering of: Non-personally-identifying information
Like most website operators, WYC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use the website.
WYC may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, we may monitor the most popular pages on the site or use plugins by the Akismet service to help identify spam.

WYC may also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Logged in users of the website will be showing their user names and email to administration staff, also blogs, posts and comments are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of: Personally-Identifying Information
Visitors to the WYC website may choose to provide contact and other contact related information that identifies them, this is normally restricted to Full Name, Contact number and Email address. The amount and type of information that WYC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction but only insofar as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WYC. After a contact has been submitted, ongoing communication will take place by direct email or phone, but again it is stressed that WYC as a body take your privacy seriously. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information.
For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

WHAT WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION

WYC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to members of the Committee who are responsible for the decision making and ongoing dealings with any member or prospective member or Associate member which may be required for the day to day operations. WYC will not disclose it to any others.
If you are a registered member of the WYC Website and have supplied your email address, you may occasionally be sent an email to inform you about something that may be relevant to you as a member or something that you should be informed about.
If you send us a request via email, we reserve the right to include it within our forwarded email communication in order to help us clarify or respond to your request, this would be limited to the subject and subject details only and only to other Committee members.

HOW WE SAFEGAURD THE INFORMATION

WYC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information. Any web related information regarding user ID and logins would be part of our site and kept on the servers at our hosting company, which are protected via our sites security and our hosting company’s security measures.
