Security Policy

• We use cookies. We use cookies to track how our website is used (for example, we may use Google Analytics, or an analytics tool from another organisation), and we use cookies to power the shopping cart.
• Our website is SSL enabled. That is, you can (and should) access the site using https. That means that data sent between your computer and our server is encrypted.
• We do not store (or even see!) your credit card details. When you complete a purchase, we send you to PayPal’s website – where the transaction is completed.
• We follow best practice techniques to ensure that the data we do store is safe. We keep regular backups, and we conduct regular audits.
• Even though we do our best, we cannot guarantee that your data will be secure. Some of the worlds biggest and richest companies have suffered data breaches.

Privacy Policy

• We store all the information that you give us in our database.
• We also store your memberships and subscriptions – including type and expiration.
• The database is accessible by trustees of Wendover Swimming CIO, and by trusted organisations and individuals as required to maintain that database. For example, we may allow a trusted volunteer or employee to access the database for the purpose of administering it; or we may allow our accountants or other providers of professional services to access the database for the purpose of auditing it. These reasons are examples, and are not exhaustive.
• We will not sell (or otherwise share, rent or make available) the database to any third party (except where required by law). We have never been asked by any law enforcement agency or organisation for access to our database.
• We will use the database to keep in touch with our members. For example, we will try and email members to let them know that a subscription to a membership is about to expire. We may also contact members to let them know about changes, special events or other information about the pool.
• We may occasionally use the database to tell our members about something unrelated to the swimming pool – but which may be of interest to our members. For example, if a local organisation is promoting a fitness event we may share that information with our members. These messages will always come directly from us, and not from any third party. We will not share your contact details.
