Privacy Policy
The following statement explains our policy regarding the personal information we collect about you.
1. Statement of Privacy
The MCG is committed to protecting your privacy and using technology that gives you a safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the MCG’s website and governs data collection and its usage. By using the MCG’s website, you consent to the data practices described in this Statement.
2. Statement of intent
You will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g., your name and email address etc) in order to use the forum area on our website. By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable the MCG to provide you access to the members’ only area. Whenever you provide such personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy. The MCG will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current internet best practice.
3. Submitting personal information
When you supply any personal information to us we have legal obligations towards you in the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else. Any information you provide to the MCG will only be used within the MCG.
The MCG may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
The MCG does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your consent.
Personal information will never be supplied to anyone outside without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged by law to disclose it. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met, or, in the case of a personalised service, you no longer wish to continue your registration as a personalised user. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
4. Changes to this Statement
The MCG will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. The MCG encourages you to review this Statement periodically to be informed of how the organisation is protecting your information.
5. Contact Information
The MCG welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that the MCG has not adhered to this Statement, please contact us by email. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
