P R I V A C Y	Privacy Policy Statement (as at 21 January 2004) Your right to Privacy is very important, and I recognise that when you choose to provide me with information about yourself and/or your own family or associated members of the Powditch family, you trust me to act in a responsible manner. I believe that such information when freely given by yourself, and without any restrictions being placed on the dissemination of same at the point of your providing to me such information (in whatever format you choose) should only be used to help me to provide the Powditch family, its descendants and associated families, with a better knowledge of its history, both past and present.

Before any personal information regarding present-day (or, in certain other instances, past-) members of the Powditch or its associated family, is added to the Powditch website, I will contact all known living members of the immediate family and seek permission to reproduce such personal information on this said website.
