Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

This website uses Google Analytics to help us analyse how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log information and information about how people use our site. This information is collected in an anonymous form and does not identify you.
The anonymous information generated by Google Analytics cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to Google. This information includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address for your computer, which is the unique number by which the internet identifies and connects with your computer. This is not the same as your email address and it is not linked to any personal information about you.
Neighbourlink utilise Google Analytics information to determine out how many people use our website and subsidiary websites. This assists us to improve our on-line services and information to better meet your needs. For example, we can identify how many users visit a particular page and what pages of information they may visit. Google provides this data to us without identifying individual users.
We don’t share your personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve the Neighbourlink website and service. We currently use Google Analytics (traffic analysis, SEO optimization).
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
