Privacy Notice
At Friends of Scolpaig / Caraidean Sgolpaig, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of visitors to our web site and subscribers to our e-newsletter and postal mailing list. Here you’ll find information on how we treat data that we collect from visitors to our website, or when someone subscribes to our newsletter.
Visitors to Our Website
When someone visits www.friendsofscolpaig.org we use two third party services, Squarespace Analytics and Vimeo Stats (for videos we’ve uploaded), to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. You can find more information on how cookies are used on this website in the Cookies Policy below.
If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it.
Email Sign Up
You can opt-in to receive our email communications. As part of the registration process for our emails, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about including upcoming meetings, updates and any pertinent news; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to ask every now and then for feedback about our activities.
You can unsubscribe or update your preferences or contact details at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe or update preferences link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us at friendsofscolpaig@gmail.com.
We don't rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.
