Our web site is about information about the badger, it's lifestyle and its environment. To do this, we provide freely-accessible information pages, which you can read as you wish without the need for prior registration. You can visit our website without revealing any information about yourself.

Where you send or we request specific information, we will always respect the security and the privacy of the personal information you send us. We follow the principles set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 and we take all reasonable steps to ensure your personal data is protected against unauthorised access.

However, if you post or send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to Badgerland and Badgerland considers such behaviour to be illegal, serious and/or repeated, Badgerland can use whatever information that is available to us about you to stop such behaviour. This may include informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school, email provider or police about any illegal content of your communications and your behaviour.

Buying On Line

If you buy goods from any third-party advertiser who advertises on our web-site, you can do so without us knowing who you are or what you are buying. Simply click on the advertisement and browse or buy whatever you are interested in.
