Cookies and privacy on Independent Living

In accordance with the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations), we have an updated privacy policy, which you can download as a PDF here.

It will let you know how we handle any personal information you provide, for example by sending an email enquiry, or commenting on one of our articles.

There is information about the use of cookies on the site, which enable us to provide various facilities to site visitors that would otherwise not function, as well as helping us to understand the way people use the site: how often they visit; how long they stay; which pages they go to; and so forth.

The privacy policy also explains the rights you have under the new legislation, notably:

(a) the right to access any personal information we hold;
(b) the right to rectification of any incorrect personal information;
(c) the right to erasure of your personal information;
(d) the right to data portability;
(g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
(h) the right to withdraw consent that you have given previously.

Please be assured that we do not share data with any third parties

We are an information website – we don’t sell any products or services to site visitors, nor do we share the personal data you entrust to us with anyone else.

If you have any questions about our privacy policy or any other aspect of the way Independent Living operates, please get in touch by email and we will be glad to answer your query.
