All of the information sent to us is stored securely once we receive it. People working on behalf of the Liberal Democrats only have access to the information they need, and the web servers are stored in a high-security environment. Although this site has been made as secure as we can, it is still advised that any sensitive information is not sent via the websites e-mail forms.
Website statistics
We use traffic analysis tools to analyse website traffic in order to help us continually improve the design, content and layout of pages.

We may place a cookie on your machine to help with the gathering of the above website data. If you choose not to receive cookies, your experience of the website will not be damaged in any way. We do not access any information stored in cookies placed on your machine by other websites.
Affinity partners
Links from our website are provided to a range of organisations with whom the Lib Dems have affinity arrangements, e.g. Amazon and the Co-operative Bank. Any information you provide to such third parties is protected by their own privacy policy. In each case the Lib Dems have reviewed their privacy practices to confirm that they meet acceptable standards. No individual information that you provide to such a third party is passed back to the LibDems, although we sometimes receive aggregate data. For example, if you order a book via Amazon.co.uk the LibDems do not receive details of your individual order. However, the LibDems do receive weekly reports that provide information about the total number of orders placed in the last week.
