Privacy Policy

Last updated 2nd February 2010

StandardsForum.org and TradeSites Limited is aware of concerns about how information about their contributors is used or shared, and we appreciate your trust in us to do that carefully. This notice describes our Privacy Policy. By visiting StandardsForum.org you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information: Any personal information provided to StandardsForum.org is controlled by TradeSites Limited.

Collection and Use of Personal Information: The information we gather about our contributors is used to help us personalise and improve the experience of visiting our Website. The information will be used to keep records and profiles up to date, and maintain your account. We may also use it to communicate services and promotional offers. We also use this information to prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our Website and enable third parties to carry out technical and logistical functions on our behalf.

Personal Information you give us, enter in to our Website, or submit in any other way will be stored. You can choose not to provide certain Personal Information; but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some services or features of the Forum. We will also compare our contributor list to any new Personal Information submitted. If you do not want to receive informative or promotional email or other mail from TradeSites Limited, please tell us by contacting the Forum through our Contact page. Please ensure you show the email address to which our emails are being sent, or we may not be able to find and delete you from our database.

Personal Information: Our contributors are the most important part of StandardsForum.org and we DO NOT sell or provide their Personal Information to others. We do however sometimes employ other companies or individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples of this might be sending postal mail and email, analysing data, providing marketing assistance and providing service. They have access to Personal Information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purpose.

As we develop and grow the Forum, we might set up other subsidiaries or businesses; in such cases, contributor Personal Information may be shared within our own group of companies. Also, in the unlikely event that TradeSites Limited is acquired, Contributor Personal Information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

We would release account and other Personal Information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Use, or to protect against fraud and credit risk. This does not include selling, renting, sharing or disclosing Personal Information from contributors to others for commercial purposes in any way that is contrary to this Privacy Policy.

Conditions of Use, Notices and Revisions: If you choose to visit StandardsForum.org, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy, including limitations on damages and application of the laws of England. If you have any concern about privacy at StandardsForum.org, please contact the Forum. Inbound and outbound calls may be recorded for quality monitoring and training purposes.

Our Forum is changing constantly and our Privacy Policy will also change. You should check our Website frequently to view any recent changes. We are committed to your privacy and will not change our policy and practices to make them less protective of your Personal Information.
