Privacy policy
At PiF, we respect the privacy of people who use our web site. When personal information is used we do so in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to administer our web site, provide email alert services and consult on our work, PiF occasionally captures personal data. This is done in two ways:
- PiF Aware E-Newsletter
The PiF web site has an optional electronic newsletter service, known as PiF Aware, which keeps people informed about a range of developments relating to PiF and patient information issues. If you register for the newsletter service your email address and other information given when registering will be held on the system for the purpose of providing this service. It will not be passed on to third parties. If you wish to discontinue with the email notification service please contact admin@pifonline.org.uk. - Site access
The web site monitors access to the site for the purpose of system administration of the web server and statistical monitoring of web site usage. This may include 'cookies'. A cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server. The message is then stored by the browser in a text file called cookie.txt. Every time the browser obtains a page from the server this cookie message is sent back. A cookie can be used to identify users and personalise their visit by customising web pages for them.
