Equality Bill portal terms and conditions

This consultation site has been designed, built and hosted by Lime House on behalf of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. By using or accessing any part of this website you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

Copyright

The copyright and material on this website is owned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and protected by the copyright laws of the United Kingdom. Users will be entitled to copy any such information for their own personal use but may not republish, transmit, store, reproduce, communicate or make available to the public any such information in any manner.

Personal data

Personal data will be collected from you when you register online and your personal data will be used to manage your registration. Lime House and the Equality and Human Rights Commission will use your information for the purposes of administering the services in connection with this site.

We do not pass on any personal information you have given us to any other site. The system will record your email address, and other information if volunteered by you to us. Any such information will be stored in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and will be treated as proprietary and confidential. It may be used to respond to your query or to notify you about updates from the Commission. However, the internet is an open system and neither Lime House nor the Equality and Human Rights Commission can guarantee that the personal information you have submitted will not be intercepted by others and decrypted.

No information provided by you through this site will be made available to third parties.

By submitting your personal information, you consent to the use of your information as set out in this Statement.

Privacy

This statement covers the services provided by the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s consultation website. This policy does not cover any external websites which may be reached from links within this site. You should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement of any site which collects personal information.

This website does not automatically store or capture personal information, but merely logs your IP address, which is automatically recognised by the web server.

Amendments to the privacy statement

If this privacy statement changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. By reviewing this page it ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties. 

Links to other websites

We may include links to a number of external websites where appropriate to help users find other related information. However, the Equality and Human Rights Commission cannot guarantee the reliability of those links nor the accuracy of information on other organisations' websites. A link from us to another website does not imply endorsement of that organisation nor of their information.

Virus protection

We make every effort to check and test material at all stages of production. It is always wise for you to run an anti-virus and anti-spyware program on all material downloaded from the internet. We cannot accept any responsibility for any loss, disruption, or damage to your data or your computer system which may occur while using material derived from this website.

Disclaimer

Whilst considerable effort is made to ensure that the information in this website is accurate and up to date, a website is limited in its ability to convey the complexities of information of a legal, policy or procedural nature.  In addition, the legislation referred to is still going through the parliamentary process and could change as a result. The draft guidance is based on the version of the Bill brought from the Commons on 3/12/2009 which can be downloaded here, and any amendments made since that date will not be reflected in the draft guidance.  Final versions of the guidance will of course be based on the version of the bill that receives Royal Assent and becomes an Act of Parliament, including any amendments agreed by Parliament since December.  

The Equality and Human Rights Commission makes no representations or warranties, either express or implied, as to the accuracy of the information on this website or its fitness for any purpose whatsoever. In no event will the Commission be liable for any direct, indirect, special incidental, or consequential damages arising out of the use of the information held on this website.
