Privacy and User Statement
This page explains how Ballyholland Community Centre (BCC) uses any information which is given to us, and the ways in which we protect your privacy. It covers the website at www.BallyhollandCC.org.
Legal Compliance
We aim to comply at all times with any relevant legislative requirements:
1. The Data Protection Act.
Under the Data Protection Act, we have a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you. The personal data you give BCC will be used exclusively for providing you with the information or service which you have requested. We do not pass any of your personal data to outside organisations and/or individuals, except with your express consent.
2. The Distance Selling Regulations.
The Distance Selling Regulations give protection to consumers who shop by phone, mail order, the Internet or digital T.V. This means that you have:
- right to receive clear information about goods and services before deciding to buy;
- the right to have this information confirmed in writing;
- a cooling off period of seven working days during which you can withdraw from the contract; and
protection from credit card fraud
What Information do we collect?
We collect information for the following purposes:-
1. Feedback
If you send us an e-mail or letter, we will not pass on any of your personal information when dealing with your query or comment, unless we have your permission to do so. Once we have replied to you, we keep a record of your message for six months for audit purposes, after which it is deleted. Email monitoring policy: The use of BCC’s email system may be monitored and communications read in order to secure effective operation of the
system and for other lawful purposes.
2. Information Updates
If you subscribe to our E-zine facility, your personal information may also be used by us to occasionally notify you about important events or new Centre services which we think you’ll find valuable. We do not give our email lists out to other third parties.
3. Online Purchasing and Security
Information submitted will be stored by the relevant department and used to process any requests. Once we have processed your payment, we will not store your credit card details.
We use encryption software to protect your data, and maintain strict security safeguards to prevent unauthorised access to it. Encryption means converting data such as your payment card number or home address, into coded data to make it unrecognisable. When you enter the secure area of our website, you will see a padlock icon appear in the bottom right hand corner of your browser window and the beginning of the website address will change from “http” to “https”.
Where a business transaction takes place, commercial records may be retained for up to seven years. Since no authentication of visitors is provided on this site BCC cannot be held responsible for any acts of impersonation and will assume all information submitted is genuine unless there is reason to doubt its authenticity. Should you suspect that a false entry has been made using your identity please advise BCC and appropriate corrective action will be considered.
If the goods received by you are for any reason either faulty or damaged, you should contact us within seven days from the date on which you have accepted delivery of the goods, on +44 (0)28 3083 3082. We will either replace the goods, or repair them within your home, if either of those courses of action is acceptable to you. You have the right, in the event that the goods supplied are either faulty or damaged, to have the goods returned to
us and to have a refund of the purchase money paid by you, provided that you notify us of the defect or damage within a reasonable period of time after delivery, and provided that the damage or defect has not arisen following the date of delivery to you. Alternatively, you may agree to accept the supply by us of replacement goods, subject to the same terms and conditions as in the supply of the original goods. None of these remedies mentioned in any way affect your statutory rights as a consumer under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended), or otherwise.
4. Site Usage

This is automatically recognised by the Web server and is used only for system administration, and to provide statistics which are used to evaluate the use of this site.

What is a PDF?
PDF stands for Portable Document Format and is a common internet file format. It’s used for electronic distribution because it keeps the look and feel of the original document, including the fonts, colours, images, and layout.
It also can be used across many different types of computers and browsers and is commonly used for government publications, leaflets and forms.
Opening PDF files
You can download a program called Acrobat Reader and install it onto your computer. The program is available free of charge from the Adobe Acrobat site. Because the download is large – typically between 70MB and 76MB – you may find it easier to find a copy of the program on one of the CDs distributed by computer magazines.
