Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy covers what we collect and how we use, disclose, transfer and store your information.

What information do we collect when you use the Body Project website?

When you use the NHS website, we use various technologies to collect information automatically – such as your IP address. This is commonplace across all internet services to enable the investigation of issues such as service availability and the identification of malicious use. This information is then kept in our internet access logs.

How do we use the information we collect about you?

We analyse information to see what is most effective about our website and associated services to help us identify ways to improve it and to make it more effective. We may also use information for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point when we collect the information.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small files saved on your phone, tablet or computer when you visit a website. They store information about how you use the website, such as the pages you visit.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies we need your permission before we can use them on your device.

We use cookies to:

  • make our website work, for example by keeping it secure
  • remember which pop-ups you’ve seen
  • measure how you use our website, such as which links you click on (analytics cookies)

Some cookies, like those used to measure how you use our website, are not needed for our website to work. These cookies can help us make our website better, but we’ll only use them if you say it’s OK.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

E-mail subscriptions 

If you sign up for one of our email subscription services, The University of Gloucestershire will hold the information you submitted (such as your email address) for as long as they are providing you services.
