Privacy Policy


Care4US understands the importance of protecting your personal information


Overview

Visitors to our website are not required to register or provide any personal information to access the available resources.

No personal data is stored by or captured through the site without users' prior knowledge and consent.

Occasionally we may ask for some personal information to answer your queries. This may include your name, age and e-mail address. This information may be stored electronically or manually.

Any personal information that is provided will be used only for the purpose stated at the time we request it. All personal data supplied is held in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We do not sell or otherwise transfer personal data to any third parties.

Website Traffic & Analytics

Care4US uses Chartbeat to monitor real time traffic. This system is completely anonymous and does not use cookies.

We also use Google Analytics which does not record any personal information. We are using Google Analytics to help us improve the website in the future. For more information about the cookies that Google Analytics uses, see What do the cookies contain? further down the page.

Cookies

Care4US does not use any cookies that store personal or sensitive data. 

The site occasionally uses 'caching' which means it stores some of its less frequently updated pages in an optimised way to make them faster to download to site visitors.

Care4US is protected by WP Cerber, a leading website security solution that protects the site against hacker attacks, spam, and malware. WP Cerber sets several anonymous browser cookies with the sole purpose of securing the website by detecting and mitigating malicious activity.

These cookies have randomly generated names and contain randomly generated values. No personal or sensitive data is stored.

What's in those cookies?

The cookies used by WP Cerber contain randomly generated alphanumeric values. No personal data is used. WP Cerber’s cookies are strictly necessary and no natural person is associated with them. 

The cookies used by Google Analytics do not contain any personal information and your IP address is anonymised. The cookies are used to distinguish individual site visitors. They contain a unique set of numbers that show whether you are a new visitor to Care4US or a returning one. They form a unique, persistent, and non-personally identifiable 'number string' that represents you as a site visitor.

This information lets us know how much traffic we get to which pages, how long people spend on those pages, how people actually find the Care4US website, and helps us learn how to improve the site in the future.

*Note that the cookie_notice_accepted cookie (!) stores a value of true or false so that we know whether you have been notified about the location of our terms and conditions.

So who made this website?

This website was built and developed by One to One Development Trust for the Children in Care Council. Any queries about the website should be sent to the Children in Care Council.

Your rights to personal information

You have a right to request a copy of any personal information that we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies in this data corrected.
