RSPB Images is committed to protecting your privacy and security. Whenever you provide personal information, we will treat that information in accordance with this policy, current UK Data Protection legislation and Internet best practice.

Data protection
You can view the content of RSPB Images without disclosing any personal information. If you wish to order images, you will be asked to provide some personal information (eg name and address, e-mail address). Any information you supply to us will be used only by RSPB Images and RSPB Sales Limited. We never sell your details to anyone else. We will analyse information gathered from the website in an effort to determine which communications are most effective and relevant to you. If we wish to use your personal information for an additional purpose, we will always ask you to agree at the point of collection. If you have already supplied us with personal information, you can change your instructions at any time.

Cookies
A cookie is a very small text file placed on your computer's hard drive (by the website server) when you visit certain web pages. It is associated with the computer you use, not you personally, and it cannot deliver viruses. The RSPB Images website uses some cookies. For example, cookies are used to save you time filling in certain forms, by automatically entering some details for you (if you want to change any details which are automatically inserted, you can simply type over any text). If you disable the use of cookies in your browser, we cannot guarantee that all parts of the site will work. In the future, we may use cookies to help you personalise the site in the way that suits you best. We do not use or honour third party cookies.

Financial security
All RSPB Images forms which request credit card or bank details use the SSL(secure sockets layer) protocol for encryption. Most browsers (including current versions of Microsoft Explorer and Netscape Navigator) support SSL. The link between your browser and the server is secure if your browser displays a small padlock or key symbol somewhere in the frame, or the address bar shows a web address beginning 'https://' (rather than http://).
