Visitor Privacy Statement

Thank you for visiting www.chvc.co.uk and reviewing our privacy policy. The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you of what kind of information is gathered about you when you visit the website and how we may use that information. Should you have any questions or concerns about the privacy statement and use of personal information, please feel free to contact us by e-mail.

Automatic Data Collection
Like most web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including: the name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet. For example, your host computer's name and its numerical address; the date and time you accessed the site; the Internet address of the web page that you came from; the page you requested from our site; the information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system, screen resolution and colour depth. We periodically summarize and analyse these log files to learn how visitors use content on the site. This information is used to improve the content, organization and performance of the site.

Collection and release of gathered information.

We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personal identifying information about you when you visit the website, unless you choose to provide such information to us.

Electronic Mail
When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We do not retain or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties. Information collected via e-mail will be retained at our discretion in a directly readable form as long as necessary to complete our response.

Cookies
A cookie is simply a small piece of information that a web server asks your browser to store on your local computer, and then later your browser presents this information to the web server. In its simplest form, a cookie is just an identifying number. Our site uses cookies for anonymous visitor tracking. We can determine how many unique visitors used the site. We do not know the identity of a person. The cookies used on our website do not contain any personal information about visitors, nor are they used to look up personal information about visitors. Even if you have entered information about yourself in one of our forms, we do not relate that information to the cookie data.

By using this site, you signify your agreement with this privacy policy. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this policy at any time. Your continued use of this website following changes to these terms means you accept those changes.
