Website privacy policy
What is this statement and what does it cover?
This statement explains what information we gather when you visit the Asset Transfer Unit website and informs you how this information is used and protected. This privacy policy, and the ways in which personal data may be gathered and processed via this website, are subject to review and development and any such changes will only be notified by this page.
What data is collected?
- It is standard practice for webservers to collect data automatically about all requests for files (web pages, images, etc). Data gathered by ATU includes
- your IP address
- details about your web browser
- details about the files requested
- date and time of requests
- for each file requested, the referring page, if any, from which you may have followed a hyperlink
- search terms and search results
- the domain from which your request originated
- your username, if you have authenticated with the webserver
If you visit our pages via a proxy server, some of the logged data will be obscured; for instance, the IP address collected will be that of the proxy server rather than that of your computer
In addition to data collected automatically by the webservers, some of our pages request additional information; for instance, the enquiry form asks for contact and other details.
All personal data is collected and stored in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
What about cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer. They relate to a specific site, and can be used to enhance that site's functionality and your interaction with it; they may also be used for usage tracking, research, targeting, etc.
You can control the use of cookies on your computer by adjusting your web browser preferences, choosing to allow them, block them, only allow them from selected sites or only allow certain types of cookies. Restricting cookies for a site may interfere with some of the functionality of that site, though.
What do we do with the data?
Data relating to webserver requests is used for completion of the current activity (eg a request to view a web page), and are subsequently stored in log files, which are subsequently processed to provide statistical information about usage, load on servers, traffic patterns, troubleshooting, incident investigation, etc. Analysis of web usage may be used for: systems and performance monitoring; research; marketing (eg analysis of demographic information and user behaviour). Information gathered will not be used to contact users, except where consent has been explicitly given or where security incidents are under investigation.
Do we share the data?
Personal data will not be passed on to third parties and will remain confidential, unless explicitly stated (eg if a web form is gathering data to be passed on to an external partner).
Where data is passed to third parties, it is done so in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
Anonymised usage data may be provided in publicly-available web statistics; any such data cannot be traced to individual users.
