Personal data is only collected on this site if you post a message in the Forum or contact us by email.
If you post in the Forum you are asked to supply your real name and a valid email address. Your name will appear on the Forum page with your post. Your email address will not appear: it will be kept secure and not passed to anyone else (subject only to the usual disclaimers about legitimate law-enforcement agencies and court orders). We do, though, reserve the right to contact you at the address you give for the purpose of verifying your identity or querying your post. Please see the posting guidelines for more details.
If you send an email using one of the links on the website your email address will only be retained for the purposes of responding to your message. A separate list of email addresses is kept solely for the purposes of the email alerts system (see Alerts). Group members are automatically registered with this system, but can unsubscribe at any time. Non-members will only be added to the system if they specifically ask to be registered for alerts.
The names of participants in the Oxon 40/20 walks appear in the pages of results for the event. The results pages are blocked to search engines and web crawlers that operate under the robots.txt and robots <meta> conventions so your name should not be picked up by responsible search engines.
The only cookie used is a temporary cookie serving a technical purpose. It is automatically deleted by your browser when you close the browser.
Our web hosting service records various statistics about the usage of this site, including the number of visits, search engine terms, entry page, originating IP address, etc. None of this data is cross-referenced, and none is traceable back to any individual.
