We at HantsAstro.org are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
(1) What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

website, such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type,

(2) Cookies
We may in the future use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text
file sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser.
The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests
a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track
the web browser.
We
may send a cookie which may be stored on by your browser on your computer’s
hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie in the
administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability
and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognise
your computer when you visit our website, and to personalise our website
for you.
Our
advertisers may also send you cookies.
Most browsers allow you to refuse
to accept cookies. (For example,
in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet
Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using
the sliding selector.) This will, however, have a negative impact
upon the usability of many websites.

(5) Security of your personal data
We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure

Of course, data transmission over the
