information we collect about you to help us understand more about
how our site is used and to be able to send you communications
about BHF that may be of interest to you, either electronically or
otherwise. The "personal information" is information that enables
us to identify you, such as your email address, name, title and
address.
Please read the following policy to understand how your personal
information will be treated. This policy may change from time to
time so please check back periodically.

BHF uses the information we collect about you to help us with
understanding more about how our site is used and to be able to
send you communications that may be of interest to you, either
electronically or otherwise.
- Who is collecting your information?
When you are in the BHF website and are asked for personal
information, you are sharing that information with BHF alone unless
stated otherwise. For example, when you are using our secure online

As a general rule, BHF will not disclose any of your personally

information is provided to them so that the transaction can take
place.
BHF may make individual identifying information available to
affiliated third parties, including BHF Ventures Ltd our trading

such information to contact you for marketing purposes. BHF does
not sell on lists to others. From time to time, we agree with other
likeminded organisations to write to some of each other's
supporters for the mutual benefit of both.

distribution of my information?
If you indicated that you are interested in receiving regular

may be of interest to you.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, BHF cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at
your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems.
