Recipients of the personal data we may hold on you may include

You do not have to register to use the FCO Services website, but
you do need to register if you want to receive updates about the
site or to view the full text of certain documents.
The registration information we require as mandatory for you to
register is: your name, address, your organisation, position within
that organisation, telephone number, password, and e-mail address.
This information is stored securely on our database. Until such
time as you choose to delete your account, your details are stored
so that you do not need to re-register when you come back to the
site.
You can change your registration preferences, e-mail address and
login details through the website at any time. If you wish to amend
your personal profile, log in to your account, and check/uncheck
the options available. If you are no longer interested in receiving
FCO Services email alerts and wish to be removed from our database,
click on the 'Unsubscribe' link on the same page and simply enter
your username and password.
You can send a message to FCO Services using the Contact Us page. If you are asking for information we do not already publish on the site, we will deal with your query. If your question is technical, we may need to pass it to our technology supplier. In such cases we will only pass on personal data if it is necessary to do so, and we will not keep your personal data or records of our correspondence longer than necessary.
