Privacy Policy
This explains how we protect and respect the data we
collect from you.
Privacy Policy
This page explains how BVCB uses any
information you give to us, and the ways in which we protect your
privacy. We are committed to protecting your privacy. We will not
share your information with others without your prior consent.
The Data Protection
Act
Under the Data Protection Act, we have a legal
duty to protect any information we collect from you. We use leading
technologies and encryption software to safeguard your data, and
keep strict security standards to prevent any unauthorised access
to it. We do not pass on your details to any third party or
government department unless you give us permission, or we are
legally permitted to do so.
What information do we
collect?
We collect two kinds of information from
visitors to DiscoverNorthernIreland.com: feedback (through emails
to the Information point) and site usage information, from cookies
and log files. Information is collected to help us improve the
service we offer.
1. Feedback
We welcome your feedback. Please contact
us.
i) Comments and questions?
If you send an email or letter to the
Information Point, asking for information, we may need to contact
other government departments to find that information. If your
question is technical, we may need to pass it to our technology
suppliers. We do not pass on any of your personal information when
dealing with your enquiry, unless you have given us permission to
do so. Once we have replied to you, we keep a record of your
messages for six months for reference and audit purposes, after
which it is deleted. We will respect your e-mail privacy. You will
receive unsolicited mail from BVCB only if you have agreed to
this.
2. Site usage
information
i) Cookies
Cookies are pieces of data that are often
created when you visit a website, and which are stored in the
cookie directory of your computer. Two cookies are created when you
visit BVCB.
Our first cookie stores a random number on
your computer to help us count the number of times users return to
our site. The second cookie is used to store some of your
preferences while you move around the site. This cookie is deleted
when you leave the site. The cookies do not contain any personal
information about you, and they cannot be used to identify an
individual user.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies
but if you do this you should note that some areas of the site may
not work properly.
ii) Log files
Log files allow us to record visitors' use of
the site. We analyse log file information from all our visitors,
which we use to make changes to the layout of the site and to the
information in it, based on the way that visitors move around
it.
Log files do not contain any personal
information and they are not used to identify any individual
patterns of use of the site.
What happens when I link to another
site?
GoToBelfast.com contains links to other
websites, both those of government departments and of other
organisations. This privacy policy applies only to our site, so you
should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read
the privacy statement of any site that collects personal
information.
We do not pass on any personal information you
have given us to any other site.
Changes to this privacy
policy
If this privacy policy changes in any way, we
will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing
this page ensures you are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we
will share it with other parties.
