1: Introduction

Pet Blood Bank UK ("[Company]") takes your privacy seriously. This privacy policy describes how and why we obtain, store and process data which can identify you. We may update this policy from time to time and shall indicate on the web site when changes have been made.

The information we collect is clearly set out on the web page on which we collect it. See for example our registration page. In addition, we may collect your IP address and use cookies unless you configure your web browser not to accept them.

3: Why we collect it

We collect information about you so that we can personalise your use of the site, assist your use of the site and improve the site generally. We collect information to enable your dog to be registered as a blood donor.

4: Who we disclose it to

4.1 We will only pass on information about you as an individual (as opposed to aggregate information) to third parties to enable us to perform services requested by you or with your prior consent.

5: Data Protection

As a not-for-profit organisation Pet Blood Bank UK is exempt from registering with the Information Commissioner in the UK as a "data controller". Pet Blood Bank UK will always follow Data Protection procedures in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. Further details of the registration are available at www.dpr.gov.uk.

6: Security

Keeping information about you secure is very important to us and certain sections of the site may encrypt data using SSL or a comparable standard. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure. As a result, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information which you send to us, and you do so at your own risk.
