This information is needed to estimate how much usage of the server is made by different categories of users and in the event of a breach of security may be used to aid detection.

Your data is only used to administer your enquiry or application for membership and your data will be passed on to the appropriate department for this purpose, after this time our system will automatically hard delete your stored information within six months that you have submitted via our website.

If you wish to contact us before the six months automated deletion, please contact us here  to request a deletion of your data that’s currently held on our website at (https://fosterwiki.com).

The search engine on our website is designed to be as powerful and easy to use as the popular search engine google. The search is made possible by a piece of hardware (a search ‘appliance’) supplied by google that is plugged into our server and continuously indexes the content on our site. All search requests are handled by the appliance and the information is not passed on to any third party, including google.

If credit card details are requested as part of a transaction between you and us, these details will be encrypted and handled by a secure web server using SSL technology. We do not currently accept payment online.

Banner ads on Fosterwiki websites may be advertising third party services and you may be directed to servers belonging to the third party. Users are encouraged to review the privacy statement of each linked site before sharing personal information. Inclusion of the other sites by links does not imply any endorsement of the material or information on the other sites.

We recognise that many people are concerned about the privacy and protection of information as it is transmitted over the Internet. You should keep in mind that the possibility exists for unauthorised individuals to intercept any e-mail message you send over the Internet. In some cases, information can be encrypted (scrambled or encoded) to make it very difficult to read if it is intercepted during communication.

Certain technology and practices allow websites to provide an increased level of security for your personal information when appropriate. We are not responsible for the privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system.

We use the following practices on our website to enhance the level of security for communication and the transmission of personal information:

We have taken reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personally identifiable information that you may provide.

We use e-mail forms to allow our customers to ask questions about our services. The possibility exists that unauthorised individuals may intercept email messages.

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site.

If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to *.fosterwiki.com, the Fosterwiki may use your personal information to stop such behaviour. Where the Fosterwiki reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any of the laws of England or Wales (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), the Fosterwiki may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
