This policy explains what information we gather when you visit the Burley
Church Web site and explains how that information is used.
It is important for you to appreciate that
this web site provides extensive links to other independent sites, both
within the Church of England and elsewhere. This policy applies only
to direct accesses to the Burley Church Web site - URLs starting http://www.burleychurch.co.uk/
As with the vast majority of Web sites, Burley Church automatically
logs certain information about every request made of it (see below for
more details). This information is used for system administration, for
bug tracking, and for producing usage statistics. The logged information
may be kept indefinitely.
Relevant subsets of this data may be passed
to computer security teams as part of investigations of computer misuse
involving this site or other computing equipment within the hosting
organisation. Otherwise the logged information is not passed to any
third party except if required by law. Summary statistics are extracted
from this data and some of these may be made publicly available, but
those that are do not include information from which individuals could
be identified.
Where forms are provided on this site, the
pages containing these forms include information on how data submited
on them will be processed and used.
This site does not use cookies (small files stored on your computer's
hard drive) to track the activity of external users. However, cookies
are used to manage authenticated access to the site by authorized users
within the Burley Church.
The following data is automatically logged for each request:
-
The name or network address of
the computer making the request. Note that under some (but not all)
circumstances it may be possible to infer from this the identity
of the person making the request. Note also that the data recorded
may be that of a web proxy rather than that of the originating client.
-
The date and time of connection.
-
The HTTP request, which contains
the identification of the document requested.
-
The status code of the request
(success or failure etc.).
-
The number of data bytes sent
in response.
-
The contents of the HTTP Referrer
header supplied by the browser.
-
The content of the HTTP User-Agent
header supplied by the browser.
-
Logging of additional data may
be enabled temporarily from time to time for specific purposes.
For the purpose of the UK Data Protection Act 1998, the 'Data Controller'
for the processing of any data collected by this site is Burley Church,
and the point of contact for subject access requests is Helen Carter
(webmaster).
