    As set out above, tribe.web.com is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Whenever you provide such information, we are legally obliged to use your information in line with all laws concerning the protection of personal information, including the Data Protection Act 1998 (these laws are referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as the "data protection laws").

    The website contains hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies, including cookies, and we urge you to review them.

  2. What information will this website collect about me?

    When you sign up to participate in or receive a service from any website, such as newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards or register with the single universal online registration system used across different parts of the internet called "Single Sign-On", we may ask for personal information about you. This can consist of information such as your name, e mail address, postal address, telephone or mobile number or date of birth. Different web pages may ask for different personal information.

    By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable tribe.web.com and its service providers to provide you with the services you select.

    tribe.web.com may also use cookies and collect IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet). We use analysis software to look at IP addresses and cookies for the purpose of enhancing your user experience. This information is not used to develop a personal profile of you and the log files are regularly purged.

    We also use your IP address to determine whether you are accessing the services from the UK or not.

  3. How will tribe.web.com use the information they collect about me?

    Tribe.web.com will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

    • for "service administration purposes", which means that tribe.web.com may contact you for reasons related to the service you have signed up for, as set out in (e.g. to provide you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular service has been suspended for maintenance);
    • to contact you about a submission you have made to the website, including any content you provide.
    • IP addresses are used to identify the location of users, the number of visits from different countries and also to block disruptive use; and
    • to analyse and improve the services offered on tribe.web.com e.g. to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience.

    Where tribe.web.com proposes using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for your use other than as listed above.

  4. When will tribe.web.com contact me?

    tribe.web.com may contact you:

    • in relation to the functioning of any service you have signed up for in order to ensure that the website can deliver the services to you;
    • where you have opted to receive further correspondence;
    • in relation to any contribution you have made to tribe.web.com, e.g. on the message boards;
    • to invite you to participate in surveys about the website services (participation is always voluntary); and
    • for marketing purposes where you have specifically agreed to this.

  5. Will I be contacted for marketing purposes?

    tribe.web.com won't contact you for marketing purposes, or promote new products to you unless you specifically agree to be contacted for these purposes.

  6. Will tribe.web.com share my personal information with anyone else?

    We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies). Generally, we will only use your information within the organisation. However, sometimes the organisation uses third parties to process your information. The organisation will require these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and also will require that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes.

  7. Offensive or inappropriate content on the tribe.web.com website

    If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to tribe.web.com, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on tribe.web.com, the webmasters may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

    Where tribe.web.com reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any of the laws of England or Wales (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), tribe.web.com may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

  8. What if I am a user aged 16 or under?

    If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission beforehand whenever you provide personal information to the website. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

  9. How long will tribe.web.com keep my personal information?

    We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant service, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us within a corporate retention database (this is a database that defines which documents should be kept and for how long). In the case that you wish to cancel your registration with us, once an account is deleted a red flag goes on the database and, while people cannot use the personal information, it stays on the system for a period of one year for administration purposes before being deleted automatically.

    Where you contribute to tribe.web.com the organisation will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted.

  10. Can I find out what personal information tribe.web.com holds about me?

    Under the Data Protection Act you have the right to request a copy of the personal information the organisation holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge �10 for information requests and will require you to prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved photographic identification.) We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.

  11. Changes to tribe.web.com's Privacy Policy

    This privacy policy may be updated from time to time so you may wish to check it each time you submit personal information to this website. The date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page.

  12. Cookies Policy -Information tribe.web.com collects from you
    1. What is a cookie?

      A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device'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 website 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 and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the websites features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

      During the course of any visit to this website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Most websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

    2. How does this website use cookies?

      Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.
