SURVEYS
Every now and again, surveys may be run on the site to obtain your opinions
about the site itself or a space-related topic. Currently a number of pages
provide a link to a survey which allows you to give the website publisher an
idea of what you think about the site. To get an idea of the typical visitor

gender. This information is submitted for use of the website publisher only
as a way of analysing visitor opinion and any data from it will not be
published on the site or passed on to third parties. Future surveys may be
hosted with the intention of the results being made public (such as in the
form of an opinion poll) but this will be made clear in the survey itself.
