Privacy, cookies, and the use of personal information


• When you supply any personal information about yourself (e.g. name, Email address and Contact Address) in order to receive or use services on our website which include newsletters, discussion forums and Community Health Global Network membership, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy.

• When using your personal information we will act in accordance with current legislation and aim to meet current Internet best practice.

Use and storage of your personal information

When you supply any personal information communityhealthglobal.net we have legal obligations towards you in the way we use those data. We must collect the information fairly, that is, we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular web pages that let you know why we are requesting the information) and tell you if we want to pass the information on to anyone else.

We will not forward your personal details to any other body without your consent.

Any information you provide to the Community Health Global Network will only be used within the Community Health Global Network . Your information will be disclosed only where we are obliged or permitted by law. Also, if you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to communityhealthglobal.net or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour, the Community Health Global Network can use whatever information that is available to it about you to stop such behaviour.

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 the Community Health Global Network membership you no longer wish to continue your registration as a Community Health Global Network member. We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

If you are notified on a communityhealthglobal.net site that your information may be used to allow the Community Health Global Network to contact you for "service administration purposes", this means that the Community Health Global Network may contact you for a number of purposes related to the service you have signed up for. We will not contact you for promotional purposes.

Access to your personal information

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information the Community Health Global Network holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests.) Please address requests to the Community Health Global Network London office.

We use cookies on this site.

• A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computer and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

• Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

• Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users have the opportunity to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time.

• Information supplied by cookies can help us to provide you with a better online user experience. For example: if on a previous visit you selected French as your preferred language, we might find this out from your cookie and assume you’d like to commence browsing in French on your second and subsequent visits.
