EU & UK COOKIE LAW
The EU Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) introduced legislation regarding the use of cookies on websites. This legislation came into effect on 26th May 2012 and is intended to allow users to be aware if a site is using cookies and to be able to approve the use of certain cookies that may be used to identify or track browsing behaviour.
This site does not rely on cookies to operate properly however our ISP’s hosting server logs do collect visitor some data and that is shared with Google Analytics which we use to help us analyse visitor data with a view to enhancing our website and the users experience.
This data is not identifiable to any particular person or machine. If you do not agree to this, please adjust your browser settings or do not use this site.

your consent.
* If you subsequently decide you no longer wish to receive
direct marketing or information from us or our associated
companies or no longer want us to pass your information
to third parties, please notify us by email at the following
address: info@snipef.org
HOW WE ENSURE PRIVACY IS MAINTAINED
* We endeavour to ensure that your data is stored securely
and to
prevent unauthorised access. We have security measures
in place to protect your information which we monitor
regularly. Unfortunately, despite our measures, because
of the nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that
your information will remain at all times 100% secure.
The continuing efforts of hackers to defeat even the newest
of security systems means that we can never make this
promise.
* Please be aware that if you disclose information on
chat areas,
forums or other public services it may be possible for
other people to use this information. We are not responsible
for the disclosure of any information you post in this
way.
* Our policy is to comply with the Data Protection Act
1998 and the
Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and all other
legislation which governs the maintenance of privacy in
your information. We also require compliance with such
legislation by third parties with whom we have arrangements
to offer goods or services through our web sites.
* Our web sites provide a number of links to web sites
not operated by
us or by companies associated with us. We take no responsibility
for the use of any information about you which is collected
as a result of your use of these web sites and this privacy
policy does not extend to any web site operated by anybody
other than us.
DISCLOSING YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

another
regulatory body if we are asked to do so or wish to do
so in order to comply with the law or in relation to any
suspected misuse by you of our web site or any of our
web site services.
* We endeavour to prevent unauthorised disclosures of
your personal
information by other people, but we are not responsible
for any unauthorised disclosures or other breaches of
security or for the actions of others if the information
