Privacy Statement
This page explains our privacy policy and how we will use and
protect any information about you that you give us when you visit
this website.
The Data Protection Act
Worcestershire County Council is the Data Controller and under
the Data Protection Act, we have a legal duty to protect any
information we collect from you. We use leading technologies and
encryption software to safeguard your data, and keep strict
security standards to prevent any unauthorised access to it. We
will not pass on your details to any third party or government
department unless you give us permission to do so.
What information do we collect?
We collect two kinds of information from visitors to the
Destination Worcestershire website: feedback (through visitors
emailing us) and site usage information, from cookies and log
files.
Feedback
We welcome your feedback. If you send an email or letter to us,
asking for information, we may need to contact other organisations
or government departments to find that information. If your
question is technical, we may need to pass it to our technology
suppliers. We do not pass on any of your personal information when
dealing with your enquiry, unless you have given us permission to
do so.
Site usage information
Cookies are pieces of data that are often created when you visit
a website, and which are stored in the cookie directory of your
computer. A number of cookies are created when you visit the
Destination Worcestershire website. The cookies do not contain any
personal information about you, and they cannot be used to identify
an individual user. You can set your browser not to accept cookies.
If you do not know how to do this, contact us, giving details on
the type of browser you are using, and we will do our best to help.
Please note that if you do set your browser not to accept cookies
many of the enhanced features may not work correctly.
Log files allow us to record visitors use of the site. We
analyse the log file information from all our visitors. We use this
information to make changes to the layout of the website and to the
information in it. Log files do not contain any personal
information and they are not used to identify any individual
patterns of use of the site.
What happens when I link to another site?
We do not pass on any personal information you have given us to
any other site. The Destination Worcestershire website contains
links to other websites, both of government departments and of
other organisations. This privacy statement applies only to our
website, so you should always be aware when you are moving to
another site and read the privacy statement of any site which
collects personal information.
Changes to this privacy statement
If this privacy statement changes in anyway, we will place an
updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing this page ensures
you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it
and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other
parties.
