Opt-out Consent
In accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act
1998, we provide the opportunity for you to opt out of certain types
of usage of your personal data when supplied to us via registration
and order forms. Should you wish your personal data to be removed
from our records or updated at a later date, you can request this
by contacting Christine Baker. Verification of identity will be
requested from the data subject before data is removed or amended.
Use of data
Any data gathered through the UKeiG web site is usually used for
internal purposes only. UKeI does, from time to time, conduct mailings
on behalf of other library and information organisations. These
are incorporated into the regular hard copy flyers mailings. These
mailings are handled by UKeiG 's distribution agents and no data
is disclosed to other organisations. If you do not wish to receive
this additional marketing material, please tick the appropriate
box on the relevant forms or contact our administrative person,
Christine Baker.
UKeiG does not use personal data for unsolicited marketing activities.
E-mail newsletters
If you choose to receive one or more UKeiG newsletters, or other
communications in electronic form, you will be given the opportunity
with each mailing to opt out of receiving future e-mail communications.
UKeiG does not sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address
to a third party without your explicit consent.

Information collected by Web servers
The UKeiG web servers automatically record general information
on all users who browse the content of the UKeiG Web site. They
