Single Living is committed to ensure that any personal data it obtains about Members and others who use the site is processed fairly and handled and stored securely in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.

This Policy is intended to explain to users of the site how we treat your personal information.

What personal information do we collect? Why do we need it?
When you become a Member we collect certain personal information about you which we ask for on the Application Form (online and offline); this includes your email address (if applicable) and home contact details. We use this information for normal membership administration purposes, to contact you and to send you information about Single Living / Single Again

This information will always remain confidential (unless we are required by law to disclose it) unless you have elected to make it public (for example by including it on your Profile which is made available to other Members) or unless we have your permission to pass it to others. You can choose when you join whether to give this permission, and if you change your mind later, all you need do is contact us and we will record and act on your changed instructions.

Friendship Club members
If you join the Friendship Club you can decide what information to include on your Clublist entry and this information will be available to other Members who use the website or request a copy by post; this includes your telephone number and email address (we can advise you on how to set up an email address which does not give away your identity). If you no longer wish to be included on the Friendship Clublist, then let us know and (depending on what you choose) we can either suspend your membership (in which case we will keep your details in case you want to rejoin) or terminate it altogether (in which case we will delete your Clublist entry from our system).

Changes to your personal information
Make sure you keep us informed when your address, telephone number(s) or email address changes. You can do this by emailing, telephoning or writing to us at any time.

You are entitled to ask for a copy of any personal information that we hold about you (for which we may charge a small fee) and to have any inaccuracies in your personal information corrected.

Receiving information from Single Living / Single Again
From time to time we will send you information about Single Living's / Single Again's activities, as well as offers from other organisations which we think might be of interest to Members.

We think that receiving this information is an important Member benefit, but if you do not for any reason wish to receive this information please let us know at any time.

Note, we do not pass your name or contact details to other organisations unless we have your permission

Links
We do include a number of links to other websites which we think would be of interest to Members; we never share any of your personal information with providers of these other sites. Single Living / Single Again cannot however be responsible for the privacy practices or content of any linked sites, over which we have no control.

Cookies
