We take Privacy very seriously and would like to explain how your data is sent and received around this website.

The Brain Tumour Action website does not send or receive any private data from your computer until interaction takes place. This includes the contact form, the poll and the surveys.

How do we collect information?

Once a user submits a vote on a poll or answers a survey their external IP address is sent to a secure database. This is checked against to stop multiple voting or submitting of forms.

Your IP address for the poll is never shown publicly nor can it been seen by the administrators, only deleted.

The survey however collects your IP address, and stores in on a secure database, but can be seen by the administrator to flag inappropriate comments submitted on the survey forms.

When submitting information using the contact forms your IP and email address is sent along with the form. The email address is of course optional but if you’re expecting a reply it's essential. The email is sent directly to the webmaster or chair of Brain Tumour Action and only they have the power to view your IP address and email.

Your IP is logged to allow inappropriate submissions to be chased up and your email is of course used as a means of reply.

How is our information used?

The information collected is never sold or shared with any other organisation or persons. The information is used as a means of contacting you and to chase the submitters of inappropriate submissions on the contact forms and/or surveys.

Do we use cookies?

Yes, the Brain Tumour Action website does used cookies but they are not essential to run the website. If you have cookies switched off you will still have no trouble browsing this website.

Cookies are sent to you when you vote in a poll or submit a survey. They are used along with your IP address to make sure you do not vote or submit a survey more than once. Your private information such as email and IP is NEVER stored in a cookie.
