However, should you send us an email via the contact form or any other means, your name, email address and message will be emailed to us. This information is kept private and we store this information in our own email system so that we are able to respond to you.

Should you comment on a blog post or similar on this site or any of our other sites, then your name, email address, IP address and message will be stored in our website database. In consequence, your name, website address and comment (but not your email address) will be viewable by visitors to this site.

HOW THIS INFORMATION IS USED:

We will use your email address to contact you in reply to your message, or to send you our newsletter or an invitation (such as to an event). If you have entered your email address to leave a comment on the blog, it is used to identify your comment; however it will not be displayed on the website or shared with any third party.

We may also use your email to help resolve issues or disputes. For instance, if you are unable to view posts on the website, we would probably search our database using your email address to help diagnose the problem.

PROTECTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

Clarke Associates uses its best endeavours to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information but we do not use encryption (such as SSL) or firewalls to further protect the information as it travels across the Internet. We do not believe that the personal information we collect warrants this level of security. It is important to be aware that there is no such thing as “perfect internet security”.

HOW TO CORRECT INACCURATE INFORMATION

Once posted, you cannot change or remove any comments you have submitted on our website pages and/or posts. However, if you would like to have this information removed please contact us and we will do this for you.

You should know that because of technical constraints, all information is never completely removed from our databases. Therefore, you should not expect that all of your personally identifiable information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests that it be removed. We will aim to remove all publicly-facing information.
