Cookies on the BSLBT site
Cookies are very small text files that automatically get created on your device when you visit a website. 99% of the time they are used to make the internet a more engaging and interactive place. As is the case with most websites, we use Cookies. We use them to track site usage, and to improve the efficiency and usability of the site.
Cookies are used in 2 areas:
- We use Google analytics to track general site usage. This helps us to gain an understanding of how well our site is performing. The vast majority of websites use this type of functionality.
- Cookies are also used as part of the system that runs the site. These are required by the system to make certain areas of the site work properly. They do not store any personal information about you whatsoever.
We do NOT use Cookies:
- For targeting or advertising purposes
- To store any personal details about you
- To pass on any information about you to 3rd parties
If you are unhappy about our usage of Cookies, we recommend that you disable cookies in your web browser. The site will still work, but it is likely that certain areas may under-perform.
You can find out more about Cookies at aboutcookies.org.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries about this Cookie policy.
Parental Guidance
If you are under the age of 16 you should seek the permission of your parent or guardian before providing BLSBT with any personal information.
Third Party Contractors and Service Providers
BSLBT makes use of services provided by contractors; e.g., to play our streamed programmes (Wistia) and to produce and distribute our newsletter (MailChimp). These contractors have their own privacy policies, which will govern the use of personal information you submit. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third parties.
Email Policy
BSLBT does not conduct lotteries, or offer prizes or awards through e-mail. We will also never ask anyone for money. If you ever have any concerns about any email from BSLBT, please email us immediately at info@bslbt.co.uk so that we can take any necessary action.
Making a Complaint
We welcome feedback and comments, both good and bad. This feedback is carefully read by BSLBT staff and passed on to the appropriate person quickly.
How do I make a complaint?
If you have a complaint please send us an email at info@bslbt.co.uk and write to us at 153 London Road, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP3 9SQ. You can also send a video message through our Contact page.
What will happen to my complaint?
We will investigate possible breaches of standards, but we will not reply in detail to other points such as comments, further questions or matters of opinion so that we can put the highest investment into programming. For consistency and to minimise costs, if we receive other complaints about the same issue we will send the same reply to everyone.
We will always aim to respond to your complaint within 2 weeks (10 working days).
What should I do if I am not satisfied with the response to my complaint?
If you are dissatisfied with our reply you should re-contact us in writing within 20 working days explaining why. This will then be reviewed by three BSLBT Board members, including the Chair. You can also contact Ofcom.
What if I have not had a reply?
Please email us at info@bslbt.co.uk or write to us at 153 London Rd, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP3 9SQ.
What happens if I do not ask for a reply?
Your complaint is normally still circulated to BSLBT staff.
