bbspy

Our privacy policy, which details how we use the information you provide us, is set out below.

The following privacy statement applies only to this website (www.bbspy.co.uk, referred to hereafter as ‘bbspy’) and all associated websites and subdomains. It does not apply to any other website(s), including any external or third-party websites linked to from bbspy.

The terms ‘Twitter’ and ‘Facebook’ refer to the social networking websites located at http://www.twitter.com and http://www.facebook.com respectively. We cannot be held responsible for situations which arise from the collection of information by external or third-party websites.

User Information

There are some areas on bbspy where you may be asked to enter some of your personal details (e.g. email address). These include, but are not limited to, our comment areas and email form. We will never use such information irresponsibly or pass it on to third parties, except in cases where the law requires us to.

Cookies

A ‘cookie’ is an item of data stored on the user’s device containing information about their use of a website. To the best of our knowledge, the only uses of cookies in public areas of bbspy are as follows:

• Comments – When commenting, we offer users a ‘remember’ option which, if selected, will save their details (e.g. name, email address) in cookies so they don’t have to re-enter them for future comments.
• Polls – Every time a user votes in our polls, a cookie is set to remember their choice(s) and prevent them from voting again.
• Sign in with Twitter/Facebook – see below
• Advertisements – see below

However, our content management system may set cookies our staff are unaware of. We regularly monitor the site to check for such cookies and will take action if we find any.

If you do not want bbspy to save such cookies to your device, most browsers will allow you to block them in their settings. However, if you do, you may not be able to access some features on bbspy.

bbspy uses scripts from third-party or external websites for certain features (e.g. Twitter, to display our latest tweet) which may set cookies to your device. We cannot be held responsible for cookies set by third party or external websites.

Sign in with Twitter/Facebook

bbspy now offers users the option to comment using their Twitter or Facebook accounts. These features employ the companies’ APIs to gain access to their users’ data. Twitter and Facebook never allow third parties (including bbspy) access to their users’ passwords.

As with all other user information, we will never use any data you allow bbspy access to irresponsibly, or pass it on to third parties, except in cases where the law requires us to.

bbspy, Twitter and/or Facebook will set cookies on your device which are necessary for these features. Twitter and Facebook may also set additional cookies which we have no control over.

The bbspy Privacy Policy only applies to bbspy.co.uk – you can read Twitter’s privacy policy here, and Facebook’s here. Further information about how to use these features can be found here.

Advertisements

bbspy features adverts powered by Google. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve adverts based on your web browsing activity.

Google’s ‘DART’ cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to bbspy and/or other websites. To opt out of the DART cookie, and to view Google’s advertising privacy policy, click here.

Log Files

The vast majority of website servers collect log files. These log files typically contain your IP address, ISP, browser types, entry/exit/referrer pages and other information related to the gathering of online statistics. None of your personal information is gathered in these log files.

We reserve the right to update our privacy policy at any time without notice or consent.
