Our privacy policy is very clear and extremely simple.

Any information you submit to this site will be treated as confidential, as such, you will not be added to any mailing lists, and neither will we send you any unsolicited mails. If you choose to contact the webmaster by using the Contact Button, then you will be providing me with your email address, but this will not be displayed, nor used for any other purpose than responding to your enquiry. If this means passing your address on to a third party to answer, then by providing your email address you will be deemed to have given permission for this to happen. If you do not want me to pass this information over, then please do not provide it in the first instance.

Information is also gathered in a guestbook on this web site. The guestbook is provided by Bravenet Web Tools. The information will never be sold or otherwise disclosed to third parties by the owner of Witheridge Websites. Please be aware of that if you leave your email address in the guestbook, it is possible for e-mail spiders to obtain your address. Many spammers specifically program their harvesters to search for e-mail addresses in guestbook's.

If any links on this site lead to external sites, and I would point out that I am in no way responsible for the privacy policies, of these external sites.

Although this site is not American based, I have chosen to conform to the requirements of The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, effective from April 21, 2000, and which applies to the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. In accepting this legislation this site operates a Policy of not knowingly accepting any communication from anyone under the age of Eighteen.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and Rule apply to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover other types of information, for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms when they are tied to individually identifiable information.
