This information is used by The Brooklands Centre for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the The Brooklands Centre website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through The Brooklands Centre public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: The Brooklands Centre does not read any of your private online communications.

The Brooklands Centre encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from The Brooklands Centre so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. The Brooklands Centre is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside The Brooklands Centre website.

Use of your Personal Information

The Brooklands Centre does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. The Brooklands Centre may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.

Use of Cookies

The Brooklands Centre website uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise The Brooklands Centre pages, or register with The Brooklands Centre site or services, a cookie helps The Brooklands Centre to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same The Brooklands Centre website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use The Brooklands Centre features that you customised.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of The Brooklands Centre services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

The Brooklands Centre secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. The Brooklands Centre secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

The Brooklands Centre will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. The Brooklands Centre encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how The Brooklands Centre is protecting your information.
