Privacy
All information collected on this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be given, sold, leased or rented to parties outside of CDP. We will not use your information for any other purposes, such as unsolicited mailings. However, CDP will, wherever possible, comply with demands for information from agencies with statutory power to require its release. Also, CDP reserves the right to disclose information to our legal, professional or financial advisors.
We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as is necessary and will remove it in the event that its purpose has been met. Correspondence submitted by e-mail or Web based forms to CDP will only be retained as long as necessary. All e-mails requiring our action are printed off and a hard copy is retained on our files for internal audit purposes.
Reasonable steps are taken to ensure security against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure and destruction. Additionally, access to personally identifiable information is limited to individuals needing such access to perform their job function and deal with your situation.

Like most standard website servers we use log files that allow us to record visitors’ use of the site.

Log files do not contain any personal information.
Our Website contains links to other websites. This privacy policy applies only to our site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement of any site which collects personal information.
We do not pass on any personal information you have given us to any other site.
You may occasionally be asked to supply personal information the Website. Personal information is anything which enables us to identify you in some way, such as your name or email address. If you supply such information, we are legally bound by the Data Protection Act 1998 to ensure that it is only used for the purpose for which it was first requested and to ensure that the data is held securely.
We do not currently give visitors the option of using a secure transmission method to send us their personal data.
