Privacy Policy
Devon County UNISON regards privacy as a serious issue.
This Privacy Policy describes how we use any identifiable information regarding any feedback from respondents, such as name, address or e-mail address.
We only collect such information for our internal purposes. Devon County UNISON does not sell, rent or share such information with third parties.
By using our feedback forms, you consent to the collection and use of information in the manner described below. If we decide to change our privacy practice, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.
In this Privacy Policy, you will find the answers to the following questions:
- How does Devon County UNISON use feedback form information?
- With whom does Devon County UNISON share feedback form information?
- Does Devon County UNISON use 'IP Addresses' and cookies?
- Other information about privacy
How does Devon County UNISON use feedback form information?
Our aim in collecting your feedback form information is purely to capture your opinions or reactions to various topics likely to affect Devon County UNISON members.
We may use feedback form information to communicate with you.
We may in the future use your e-mail address to inform you of matters likely to be of interest, or have impact on branch members, site improvements, announcements and newsletters. Only Devon County UNISON will send you these direct mailings.
With whom does Devon County UNISON share feedback form information?
Devon County UNISON may share feedback form information with the national body of UNISON if they ask us. However, information will never be personally identifiable when used for these purposes. Otherwise your information will only be used within the Devon County UNISON branch.
For these purposes, 'Devon County UNISON' means the officers, staff, and stewards, health & safety reps and union learnings reps, as appropriate. If you do not want your feedback form information shared you have the option of telling us not to.
Other than mentioned in the paragraph above, Devon County UNISON will not share, sell or rent feedback form information with a third party.
There is one exception to the privacy policy described in this section: if Devon County UNISON is required by law (or to protect its rights or property), we will disclose feedback form information to the extent so required.
Does Devon County UNISON use 'IP Addresses' and cookies?
Devon County UNISON uses IP Addresses and Cookies in limited ways, as follows:
- IP Addresses: An IP address is literally your computer's address and is a unique identifier. At present we do not, but may in the future, if appropriate, use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. We do not intentionally link your IP address to your personally identifiable information.
- Cookies: Contrary to popular belief, cookies do not extract private or personal information from your computer's memory. The only instance of us using a cookie when you visit this web site is when you choose a preference for a particular colour background for the pages and / or change the size of the text on the pages. The job of a cookie is to record only your preferences. A cookie is a tiny file placed onto the hard drive of your computer that records or 'remembers' this preference. Currently, Devon County UNISON only uses the one cookie; this is not tied to personally identifiable information. The cookie is also time-limited to record your preference for no more than 28 days, after which time it expires.
- Advice on Limiting Cookies: You always have a choice with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you can accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set or reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies, you will be unable to use the background colour and / or text size choice. Please consult your browser instructions for information on how to modify your choices about cookies.
Other information about privacy:
Does Devon County UNISON use Clear Gifs (Web Beacons / Web Bugs)? The third-party 'Site Meter' probably comes under this description. It can be found at the bottom of the left-hand column of every page.
Does Devon County UNISON use Affiliate Programs? No.
Links from the Devon County UNISON Site: If you click away from Devon County UNISON to visit the site of any third party link, you may be asked on those sites for personal information. These sites should have their own privacy policy and practices and Devon County UNISON has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies. You should therefore review their privacy policies carefully if you have concerns about how your information may be used.
Notification of Change:
If we make any material changes in our privacy practices we will post a prominent notice on this web site notifying users of the change.
