Website Privacy Policy
Lancashire Resilience Forum’s website does not store or capture personal information, unless voluntarily offered (for example via the Get in touch contact form and the Sign up for alerts), but merely logs the user's IP address which is automatically recognised by the web server.
We do not use cookies for collecting user information from the site and we will not collect any information about you except that required for system administration of the web server.
Where the provision of personal data is required to enable us to provide a specific service to the user, the details collected will only be used for the stated purpose.
Certain sections of this site seek personal information on a voluntary basis; for example, to give feedback on our website or to register to receive news and information about risks in your area. The provision of this information is optional, and this will be made clear at the start of each relevant section, as will the intended use of any such information provided.
When visiting and using our site you may also receive cookies from other sites. These are known as third party cookies. You may find cookies from YouTube which enables us to embed videos hosted by YouTube. You can disable third party cookies in the settings on your web browser.
This website uses Google Analytics to measure performance and monitor usage.
