Any additional information requested will be to help us improve our services, over and above the basic required information, and it will be clear on the form that your response is voluntary and you are free not to provide us with more information if you would prefer not to do so.

When you visit the Site we may store some information (commonly known as a "cookie") on your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means that they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Passwords and credit card numbers are not stored in cookies. A cookie helps you get the best out of the Site and helps us to provide you with a more customised service. We use cookies for the following purposes:

• So that you will not have to re-enter your details each time you visit the Site

• To track how the Site is used and to improve and update our content

You can block or erase cookies from your computer if you want to (your browser's help screen or manual should tell you how to do this), but certain parts of the Site are reliant on the use of cookies to operate correctly and may not work correctly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.

Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies and you should be able to restrict or disable them if you wish by adjusting the settings on your browser. This will however affect your use of the areas of our site that use persistent cookies, such as the login areas. We do not use 'spyware', that is web bugs or hidden identifiers or other similar devices to gain access to information, store hidden information or to trace your activities. For more information about cookies and instructions on how to adjust your browser settings to restrict or disable cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

We may keep a record of data which is logged automatically by our ISP's servers, and which we analyse. This includes your IP address, the URL you visited before ours, the URL you visit after leaving our site and which pages you visit on our site. We do not store or analyse this data in a way that identifies any individual.

We may use and process your personal information where it is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests as a business, for the following purposes:

• To verify the accuracy of data that we hold about you;

• To correspond or communicate with you as a customer, to let you know about our activities;

• For the management of queries, complaints or claims;

• To fulfil online delivery and security for network and information security in order for us to take steps to protect your information against loss or damage, theft or unauthorised access;

• For the establishment and defence of our legal rights.

We may use and process your personal information where you have consented by providing your details for the following purposes:

• Regular (usually monthly) community e-newsletters, including details of progress on site, works that may affect the local area, consultation activities and/or community events.

• Ad hoc updates advising of any sudden/unexpected changes in construction works which may cause disruption in the local area

• Ad hoc invitations to consultation events and community events (the frequency of which we estimate to be a few times per annum).

You may ask us to remove you from our mailing lists at any time by writing to us at our registered office. You may also contact us in order to exercise your option of correcting your details and of being removed from our mailing lists when we send you email alerts or other information.

If you have any questions about our privacy statement or the information we hold about you, please contact us on the contact details on the Site.

You are entitled to apply to us for a copy of the information that we hold about you (for which we make a small charge) and to have inaccuracies corrected.
