a. Introduction:
We, ILAG, are committed to safeguarding your privacy. We believe that
the best way to protect the privacy of users of www.ilag.org.uk (the
"Site") is to tell you what information we gather and ensure
that you understand and consent to our uses of such information. We
may occasionally modify the Privacy Policy and will post those changes
on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it. We may
let you know via the homepage when this happens but you should check
the policy frequently to read the changes. Please note that the Site
contains links to and from other websites. We are not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of other websites and the
information practices of those websites are not covered by this Privacy
Policy. We set out below answers to frequently asked questions regarding
our Privacy Policy.

provide you with information you request from us. We may also use
your personal information to track activity on the Site. We do this
in order to serve you better as we understand how you and other
visitors use the Site. Whenever we collect personal information
we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that
page.
We will only use your information for the purposes set out below
if you have indicated that you wish us to use your information in
this way when submitting the information. Additionally, if at any
time you wish us to stop using your information for any or all of
the below purposes, please let us know. We will stop the use of
your information for such purposes as soon as it is reasonably possible
to do so. From time to time we would like to use the information
you supply to us for:

we have your prior consent or unless required by law, local regulators
and law enforcement officers. However, in order to provide an efficient

- It is our policy to virus check documents and files before
they are posted on this Site. However, we cannot guarantee that

information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. You remain
responsible for the security of your computer at all times.
f. Worldwide transfer of your data:

outside of the country where you originally entered the information.
In addition, that information may be used stored and processed outside
the country where you entered that information. While there is a
risk that countries to which information is transferred will not
be subject to an information protection regime as rigorous as that

in the EEA and you do not want your information to be transferred
outside of the EEA please do not send us personal data.
