David Dexter Associates recognises that
data protection and privacy are an important
issue, particularly with regard to the
World Wide Web; consequently we take your

the principle of data protection and privacy
and endeavour to implement it within the

Accessing David Dexter Associates website
As a general rule the website employs
the notion of 'public access' and does
not require you to login. Consequently,
when you access the website you are not
required to submit any personal information;
however, in common with most web servers,
certain anonymous data is gathered. For
each visitor, our web server collects Usage
Data* which is analysed and presented in
statistical form; the type of information
obtained includes: the number of page requests
per week, domain names (e.g. .com, .ac.uk,
.net), referring sites (e.g. Google.com,
Yahoo.com), Browser summaries (e.g. the
number of visitors using Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape) and Operating System
reports (e.g. the number of page requests
made using Windows NT, Windows 98, Macintosh
or Unix).
On occasion summary statistics may be
disclosed to third parties, however, it
is important to understand that the data
doesn't provide any personal information
(e.g. email addresses) and cannot be attributed
to individuals. The primary purpose for
collecting the information, which is used
on an aggregate basis, is to improve the
content and functionality of the website.
*Note: This data is protected
from public access and can only be viewed
and disclosed by authorized personnel.
