Our website collects names, email addresses, and other personal
information from customers and visitors only when submitted via one of our
online forms, such as our evaluation form. This data is used solely by
The British Institute of Embalmers and is not shared, traded, or sold to third parties.
Our website also collects non-personal data through the use of
server-based "session variables," which we use to achieve important
site functionality, including the recognition of logged-in users and
the secure passing of contact form information.
Our web-server also records IP addresses from all visitors to our site. An
IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems
with our server, to administer our site, to analyse trends, to track user
movement, and to gather broad demographic information—all for the purpose
of continually improving our website and delivering personalized, custom
content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable
information, and their collection is standard procedure in most web-server
environments.
Our website contains links to other websites. Please note that when
you click on one of these links, you are entering another website,
for which The British Institute of Embalmers is not responsible.
By using this web site, you signify your agreement to our privacy policy
as stated above. Note that this policy may be revised periodically without
notice. Please re-read this policy prior to submitting any personal
information if you have concerns about how your information is being
collected and used.
