Personal Data

When visiting www.friendsexpress.co.uk, Friends Express will not collect any personally-identifiable information about you unless you provide it to us voluntarily. If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not submit it.

When users register with Friends Express they provide their name, their name on leaving school, the year when they left school, their email address and some optional information about themselves. All of this data can be modified after registration.

Once collected data will only be used for the specific purpose for which it was sought and to which you consented. It will not be used for any other purpose whatsoever. Any personal data we hold on you will be deleted or updated upon request and any inaccurate or misleading data held will be changed or deleted upon your request.

If you wish to have your registration details removed from our website for any reason email us with your request.

The personal information held by Friends Express is held on and processed by computers located in the United Kingdom.

Sharing of your Personal Data

On registration some of the data held for a member, except for the email address, will be available at the listing for the school at which that member registered. Friends Express do not directly make email addresses available to anyone on the site. The only legitimate way of making contact with a friend found on Friends Express is for member to send a message through the site. This email will include the sending member’s full email address so that the recipient can respond to the sender directly. This means by sending a contact email message, the sender is disclosing their email address. Information about members must not include their email address.

For each visitor to www.friendsexpress.co.uk, our Web server automatically recognizes your domain, the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, and the domain name of the Web site from which you linked to our site. This non-personally identifiable information is collected automatically and only used for internal review. Friends Express may include advertising for other businesses, and we may use demographic data provided by users to target this advertising more appropriately.

Security

It is the duty of every member to protect against unauthorized access to their password and to their computer by ensuring they log off when finished visiting Friends Express using a shared computer.
