Privacy Policy

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" (IP) address. When a visitor requests a page on hytheguide.co.uk our web servers automatically recognise that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic and to investigate use of the Hythe Visitor Guide web site, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement activities and enquiries. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our web servers do not automatically record email addresses of the visitors to our web sites.

Hythe Chamber offers access to or may in the future offer access to some services that require registration. We may use your registration contact information to send notification to you of Hythe Visitor Guide products and services by email and/or postal mail. We will not share that information with any third party, save where we are required to do so by law or other applicable statute.

Hythe Chamber will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Hythe Visitor Guide
• Protect and defend the rights or property of Hythe Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, or visitors to the hytheguide.co.uk web site
• Identify persons who may be violating the law, our terms and conditions of use, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing the hytheguide.co.uk site or the computer equipment on which it is hosted (whether owned by Hythe Chamber or a third party)

From time to time, Hythe Visitor Guide or its advertisers may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas of hytheguide.co.uk you have visited or customised, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. Our advertisers may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. Our advertisers and we may use this information to better personalise the content, banners, and promotions that you see on our site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other web sites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

We employ security measures to protect your information from access by unauthorised persons and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage. We will retain your information for a reasonable period or as long as the law requires.

You also have a right to be informed within a reasonably delay, on request, what information we hold about you, how we obtained it, and to whom we may pass it on. Such a request must be made in writing. Hythe Visitor Guide reserves the right as allowed under the act to levy a fee for this service.

We may from time to time send emails announcing new products and services. Except as stated above, Hythe Visitor Guide will not send you emails that you have not agreed to receive.

Any changes to our data protection policy in the future will be posted to the site.
