Ways we collect information
Some areas of this site require you to actively submit
information in order for you to benefit from specific features,
such as our range of online services, for example, email or online
forms.
Some of this information may be personal data (information that
can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name and email
address or phone number). We only collect such information when you
choose to supply it to us and it is processed in accordance with
the Data Protection Act 1998.
The information you provide as a volunteer applying for the 2013
World Police & Fire Games will be held by our partner Volunteer
Squared in Canada. Volunteer Now and 2013 WPFG are satisfied
that Volunteer Squared has the adequate safeguards in place to
protect your personal information in accordance with the Data
Protection Act 1998.
Information is also gathered without you actively providing it,
through the use of various technologies and methods such as
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies. These methods do not
collect or store personal information.
IP addresses
An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can access the internet.
Our analytics service collects IP addresses for the purposes of
auditing the use of our site.
Each time you log onto our site and each time you request one of
our pages, our server logs your IP address.
Although we may log your session with us, this is not permanent
and we will not normally link your IP address to anything that can
enable us to identify you. However, we can and will use IP
addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to
enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect
our service, site, users or others.

Information about our use of cookies
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on
your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer's
hard drive.
How are cookie used?
Cookies perform several functions, such as remembering who you
are on a particular site (your welcome message), to keeping you
logged in to your account screen on an ecommerce site (however, you
should always log out if you are using a public computer).
Advertising agencies also use cookies to find out if they have
served you an advert from a particular brand on a site, or if you
have seen a particular advert before. Website owners will use
cookies to follow which pages that you've read so that they can see
what parts of the site are popular or not. In short, cookies are a
way of providing statistics on site visits as well as some limited
functionality that makes your site visit easier. When used properly
cookies are an asset to a site visitor and a site owner. They are
not viruses, but some unscrupulous outfits will use them
maliciously - we follow best practice for cookie use.
