Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us, and we understand that it is important to you. Consequently we would like to let you know how information we collect about you through this website is used.
  • The only information we will collect is that which you supply when you register. As a minimum that is your email address and your chosen username.
  • We will only ever use any of the information you supply to service your account (specifically, to provide you with the website and forum services), and to answer questions you may ask us. We won't share your information with advertisers, merchants or other third parties.
  • Notwithstanding the above, if TheGreenLivingForum.net receives a legitimate request from a police force or other such authority to disclose information about a particular user in order to facilitate an investigation into a criminal matter, then TheGreenLivingForum.net will co-operate with such a request and release the requested information.
  • Any additional information you choose to publish about yourself by posting it on this forum is considered to be in the public domain and is therefore beyond the scope of this policy. This includes information in "personal messages".
  • If you think that any information we hold about you is incorrect, please get in touch as soon as possible so we can make relevant amendments.
  • The information you provide to TheGreenLivingForum.net is stored in a password protected database on a webserver which is connected to the internet. The webserver is the computer which holds the website and forum.
  • We will make every effort to protect the information you provide to us from being accessed by anybody not entitled to view it. However it is a fact of life that no computer system is 100 percent secure and can under certain extreme circumstances be compromised. By using this site, you agree to indemnify the owner of this site and its agents against any liability should such a situation arise, and for any subsequent use of such information.
  • Log files: We keep log files of the way visitors use the site which allows us to view and analyse trends, track user movements, and gather data for demographic locations. This is entirely anonymous and not attached in any way to visitors' personal identification.
  • Cookies: A cookie is a piece of data stored on the visitor's hard drive containing information about the visitor. At this time, TheGreenLivingForum.net uses cookies only for login and browsing convenience. You may set your browser to reject the use of cookies, but this may have an adverse effect on your browsing experience.
