Our principles
We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.
We have established the following two principles:
-
We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from Link Up in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for.
-
We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.
What information do we collect?
We collect information on our users through registration and via email to the Link Up Office
The minimum information we need to register a user is your first name, last name, email address and a password. We also ask for some further, voluntary information so we can provide a richer, more useful address book.
Who will have access to your information?
You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your personal information will be visible to other authenticated users of the site. You can change these settings from your personal profile page. Your information will be used to build the online address book and show your birthday in the Link Up calendar.
