3.1 When you register as a user ("Registered User") on the Portal, MIDAS may require certain information from you, including your name, postal address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
4. Use of Personal Information
4.1 This information will only be used: for the purpose for which you provide it; to communicate with you about your use of the Portal; to send you offers and news about the Portal or related products and services which we believe may be of interest to you; and to send you e-mails about changes to the Portal. If you choose to allow us (by opting-in on the Portal), we may also use your information for marketing purposes and to send you e-mails informing you of other companies' services and products. We will never pass your personal data to anyone else without your consent or unless it is necessary to perform services that you have requested. If, at any time you do not wish to receive such information from us, please send an e-mail to midas@midas.org.uk.

5. Other Information
5.1 We may also collect and disclose information to third parties in aggregate (so that no individual members are identified) for statistical analysis and strategic development purposes.
6. Cookies
6.1 We may use "cookies" to collect aggregate information. A "cookie” is a small piece of information sent by our web server to your web browser, which enables us to record anonymous details and allows you to move around the Portal faster. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, for instance to enable us to simplify the logging on process, to help ensure the security and authenticity of Registered Users and to enable traffic monitoring. You can find out more about the way cookies work on http://www.cookiecentral.com.
6.2 Most browsers allow you to turn off the cookie function. If you want to know how to do this, please look at the help menu on your browser.
7. Overseas
7.1 We will only pass on information about you as an individual (as opposed to aggregate information) to third parties overseas to enable us to perform services requested by you.
7.2 Owing to the global nature of the Internet, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we do our best to ensure that your personal information is secure.
8. Security
8.1 As required by under UK data protection laws, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given to us, to prevent unauthorised access. However, the Internet is not a secure environment and we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you send to us.
9. Other websites
9.1 The Portal may contain links to other websites which are outside MIDAS's control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these websites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy practices, which may differ from this Privacy Policy
