Endometriosis in the UK Privacy Policy

Endometriosis in the UK knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust and want you to feel confident in our services and security as it relates to your personal information. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Endometriosis in the UK, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Visitors Does Endometriosis in the UK Gather?
The information we learn from visitors helps us personalize and continually improve your browsing experience at Endometriosis in the UK. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, improving our website features, and communication with you.

You provide most such information when you search, post on the forum, send us your EndoStory or other methods of communication via our website or email to Endometriosis in the UK. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, age, vague address, and email address. In sending us your 'EndoStory' you agree that Endometriosis in the UK may alter the submitted material (story) so that it is in a readable format both grammatically and in diction and for any other changes or exclusions to be at our discretion before publishing it on the website.
Automatic Information:
For security purposes Endometriosis in the UK sometimes collects and analyzes the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, and to our website. This is done for your protection for tracking purposes in the unfortunate event that someone gains access to your personal information.

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites, we sometimes use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our website.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifier text files that we transfer to your computers hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide us with statistics of how valuable our website is to the public.
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more productive to improve service and your browsing experience, we sometimes send you notifications of changes to our policies, and confirmations.

When you submit your EndoStory you have to include your email address. If somebody wants to contact you after reading your EndoStory, they click on the link under your name on your EndoStory page and they can fill out a Contact Form and agree to have this communication recorded. Once they complete the form, Endometriosis in the UK generates and sends you an email with all the information the original sender wanted to send to you. This means that at this point the sender will not have access to or any record of your email address and you can choose whether or not you want to respond when you receive the email from us.

Whilst this will not stop people communicating with you via your EndoStory, it does mean that Endometriosis in the UK will have a record of the communication, including time/date, location and unique identifiers that can pinpoint the sender quite accurately should we need to hand over this information to the authorities. We do not intend to monitor these communications and will not hand any information out to 3rd parties (this does not include the police). We hope that these measures go some way to safeguarding you against the threat of being exposed to unsavoury emails. If you do receive any communications that you want to bring to our attention, please send us the email that we have sent you by replying to it and including any other useful information. This will have the information we need to tie it up with the records we have already if it needs further investigation.

Always be careful when communicating with others that contact you and do not send them any emails if you suspect a suspicious claim or activity. If it seems too good to be true, then it usually is!

Does Endometriosis in the UK Share the Information It Receives?
We respect your privacy and appreciate your contributions on the website. At no time do we ever provide your contact information to any third party, vendor, associate or service provider (this does not include the police authorities).

Which Information Can I Access?
Endometriosis in the UK gives you access to a broad range of information about your forum account and your interactions with us for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit Endometriosis in the UK, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of our local state. If you have any concern about privacy of your personal information as used and collected within our website, please send us a thorough description by contacting us, a link can be found on the ContactUs page and we will try to resolve it.

Our website changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of visitor information collected in the past without the consent of affected visitors.
