Privacy Statement

This statement covers the services provided by the PPP Arbiter's web site: www.ppparbiter.org.uk. The Data Controller for this web site is the PPP Arbiter.

Data Protection Act 1998

The Data Protection Act 1998 establishes rights for individuals who disclose their personal information - where personal information is widely defined - to any organisation for any purposes involving processing of that information. Any organisation which processes information about living individuals is a data controller for the purposes of the Act; that is a person who determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed. A data controller is required by the Act to ensure that the data subject has, is provided with, or has made readily available to him certain specified information, including the data controller's identity, the identity of any other person to whom he may disclose the information, and the purpose or purposes for which the data are intended to be processed.

The data controller in relation to this web site is the PPP Arbiter. The purposes for which the data are intended to be processed are as follows:

1. Comments, questions and feedback

If you send an enquiry by e-mail to either a specific contact or a general enquiry address identified on the PPP Arbiter's web site, we will only use your personal details obtained from your enquiry to respond to your query or improve the site. In some instances, it may not be possible for the PPP Arbiter to provide the information requested directly. In such circumstances we may pass your enquiry to a government department, company or agency so that they can fulfill your information request. In either case we shall delete your personal data once we have acknowledged your comment, responded to your request or passed it on to another body.

2. E-mail alert services sign up

If you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, such as our press notice alert system, we will use the information you give us to provide the service(s) you have requested. We may occasionally contact e-mail alert subscribers to help us evaluate and improve the service that we offer. We will hold the information you have provided for as long as you require access to the service requested. If you inform us that you wish to cancel a subscription, we will remove you from our mailing list and your details will be deleted from our records.

3. Site usage information - Log files

Log files allow us to record visitors' use of the site. The PPP Arbiter puts together log file information from all our visitors, which we use solely to make improvements to the layout of the site and to the information on it, based on the way that visitors navigate around it. Log files are records of the visits made to the site from e-mail addresses and thus effectively contain personal information about you, areas in which you have expressed an interest, and so on. We do not make any other use of this personal information, nor do we pass it on to any other organisation.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a data subject, you have various rights under the Act, including a right of access to any personal data being held about you by the PPP Arbiter as data controller. The PPP Arbiter will supply you with details of personal data we are holding about you if you submit a request to enquiries@ppparbiter.org.uk.
