Members: please note that it is a condition of membership that you allow us to contact you by email for notification and news purposes.
We use cookies to:
- remember you when you visit this website to keep track of your browsing patterns and to build up a profile of how you and other users use the website. This information is anonymous as far as we are concerned - it does not identify you.
- make our website work as efficiently as possible.

Third party cookies
Some of the information and news that you see on our website is generated by third parties.
Some of these third parties generate their own cookies (or web beacons) to track how many people have seen a particular item (or use the services of third parties to do this), and to track how many people have seen it more than once. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes.
The third party companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict, privacy policies but we don't have access to these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role to play in these cookies at all.
If you would like to disable ‘third party’ cookies, you can turn them off by going to the third party’s website and getting them to generate a one-time ‘no thanks’ cookie that will stop any further cookies being written to your machine. Here are links to two of the main third party advertising platforms, each of which have instructions on how to do this:
- http://www.doubleclick.com/us/about_doubleclick/privacy/ad-cookie/
- http://www.audiencescience.com/privacy
You can also visit the trade body representing these advertising companies for more information on how to opt out of these cookies: http://youronlinechoices.com/
Security
The password you provide when registering with the website is encrypted to ensure protection against unauthorised access to your personal information.
We do our utmost to protect user privacy. No data transmission over the Internet can be entirely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and/or use of the website. Any information that you send is at your own risk and may be read by others. However once we have received your personal information we use strict procedures to protect the security of your personal information.
BuyOnLine purchases
In order to claim the money for purchases from your credit or debit card, we use SagePay. SagePay is one of the most secure and reliable online payment providers. At no stage in the administration of a purchase do any personnel at ATM or the ATM website have access to your credit/debit card details. These are verified online through an encrypted system. All we know, at ATM, is whether the payment has been approved by your bank and that we can expect to see the funds transferred to us to cover the cost of your purchase thus allowing us to fulfil your order.
Any payments for purchases made through the Amazon aStore are similarly obscured from anyone at ATM. Again we simply are told that a successful order has been placed so that we can fulfil the order.
Disclosing your information
We may disclose your personal information if we required to do so by law or in good-faith believing such action is necessary to comply with the law.
We sometimes share your personal information with third parties who are our subcontractors or providers of various products and services on our behalf.
We never sell personal information, or pass it to third parties for marketing purposes without your permission. The only exception to this is the name, email address and postal address from entrants to free draws where we have made an arrangement with a third party. In this case we always spell out the arrangement on the entry page. It is usually that the third party can use your name, address and email address once and once only to send you a catalogue or promotional material regarding that product. If anyone feels this arrangement has been abused, then please let our Web Editor know as soon as possible. It will be followed up.
Where we store your personal information
The personal information that we collect from you may be sent and stored outside the European Economic Area (EEA) (on servers in other countries) in order to carry out the activities listed above.
Changes to this Policy
If we change our Policy, we will post the changes on this page. Please check the website regularly for any changes to this Policy.
Adherence
If you believe that we have not adhered to this Policy, please notify us by email at webeditor@atm.org.uk and we will try to solve the problem promptly.
