Terms and conditions

This website is owned and operated by PARC (Pembrokeshire Against the Radar Campaign). During the course of these terms, PARC shall be referred to by ‘we’ and ‘us’, and www.parcagainstdarc.com as ‘this website’ or ‘the website’. By using this website, you agree, without exception and in full, to the terms and conditions set out forthwith. We advise you to review these terms and conditions periodically in order that you remain aware of any changes to the website’s service.

In using this website, you agree not to upload any malicious programs, attempt to decompile or reverse engineer the website’s code, or otherwise attempt to breach the security of the website, its domain server, its hosting server or any other online entity involved with its operation. We reserve the right to take measures to terminate the usage by any user of the site, at any time and for any reason, without notice.

While every effort is made to ensure that information published on this website is accurate, complete, up-to-date and free of errors, we provide no guarantee that it is accurate, complete, up-to-date or free of errors. All reliance on the part of users of this website upon the information published within it is undertaken at the sole risk and responsibility of the user.

All content produced exclusively by PARC that is made available on this website is the sole intellectual property of PARC. While we encourage reproduction of said content inasmuch as we, in our sole discretion, deem it to be conducive to the positive promotion of our services and campaigns, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal measures against any party engaging in any usage which, in our judgement, falls outside of the aforementioned case of reproduction, brings PARC into disrepute, is defamatory, or is in any other way illegal. All content produced by PARC which utilises in part third-party content that PARC is permitted by relevant licenses to publish should be treated in the same manner as content which is the intellectual property of PARC, and will be enforced by us as such.

You agree that any content you upload to this website shall be content you have the appropriate legal rights to upload, and content that is free from malicious code of any kind.

Our website may from time to time include hyperlinks to other websites. We are not responsible for the content published by any external website, and make no guarantee about its fitness or safety. All terms and conditions and privacy agreements on websites outside of the domain of this website are separate from PARC’s terms and conditions and privacy policy, and PARC makes no guarantee about their fitness. All external links included on this website shall be visited by users of this website solely at their own risk.

You agree that your usage of the website and all its associated services are undertaken at your sole risk. PARC will in no case be liable for any injury, damages, inconvenience or other losses that arise as a result of any user’s usage of the website.

Privacy policy

We take the privacy of our website users and supporters very seriously. By using this website, you agree to the conditions set out in this privacy policy.

Our website automatically collects information from your browsing device, including but not limited to technical device information, referral headers and the IP address from which you are connecting. We do not share this information with third parties for commercial purposes. We reserve the right to share it if obligated to by law, to combat illegal activity, or to protect the security of our website and safety of our users.

We may place files on your device, including cookies, in order to enable you to browse and use our website more effectively. While PARC itself does not place files generated by us that are intended to track your activity on websites outside of www.parcagainstdarc.com, certain third-party web technologies used by our site to facilitate its core functionality do place such files or other data (such as cookies) on your device. Such technologies may play a role in tracking your device outside of this website.

Our website uses some third-party web-based services and scripts, such as Google Fonts. While we at present do not allow advertisers to place advertisements on this website, users should use their discretion to determine the privacy implications of the presence of the third-party web technologies used as part of this website.

If you choose, you may submit to us personally identifying data, including but not limited to your name, email address, address, postcode, telephone number, or other personal data. Where we invite you to submit such data (for example when we invite you to subscribe to an email-based mailing list), you are asked to explicitly confirm that you agree your data will be handled in accordance with this privacy policy.

All personally identifying data obtained and held by PARC, whether by physical, verbal or online means, will be treated strictly in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All data handlers within the organisation of PARC are signatories to PARC’s data handling standards with respect to the GDPR. As such, we, and they, agree to use your data only for the legitimate purposes of campaigning, to not share it with any other party other than if compelled to by appropriate court order or at a request by law enforcement, and to observe reasonable due diligence in keeping your data safe and transferring it securely.

Data you have agreed for us to handle may be shared with the relevant targets of our campaigns, such as Pembrokeshire County Council, the Ministry of Defence, or other decision-making bodies or individuals, when we, for instance, submit a petition on your behalf.

Your personally identifying data may be shared with third parties in order to fulfil some technical functions we deem necessary for our campaigns, including but not limited to MailChimp (a mass emailing service) and PayPal (a payment handling service). Users are encouraged to review the relevant privacy policies and terms and conditions of MailChimp, PayPal and any other third-party service indicated as being involved within the operation or our website or web store before submitting relevant personal data to PARC.

With respect to our campaigns, we retain your personally identifiable data for a duration reasonably appropriate to the legitimate purposes of our campaigning. With respect to any purchases you make through our web store, we retain your payment data (which may contain personally identifying data) for a duration appropriate for us to be able to reasonably exercise our legal duties.

If you wish for us to remove certain personally identifying data you have chosen to submit to us from our possession, you may do so by contacting our Data Guardian either at theteam@parcagainstdarc.com, or at the following mailing address:
