Terms & Privacy Policy
Policy under ongoing development
Your details
The basic details required to operate the services you access will be held for as long as they may be needed. Any additional information you enter, for example content on a profile page, is under your control and you are responsible for managing it. Members also control whether or not the information on their profile is publicly available or hidden.
Should a membership lapse, the profile information is archived and will no longer be publicly accessible. It is retained so a former member can choose to reactivate their membership and access their previously set up details. Should you wish to have your profile page information permanently deleted rather than archived you can do this by a) deleting your profile page yourself whilst you have a current membership, or b) if your membership has expired (and you no longer have access to manage your information yourself) requesting it be deleted by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
When your details can be shared with a third party
As a professional organisation we will do everything we can to eliminate fraud.
We will comply with any reasonable request from law enforcement or statutory authorities to provide information relevant to an investigation of alleged fraud.
Any fraudulent use of member benefits (which includes facilitating the use of a member benefit by a non-member) will not be tolerated. The identity of anyone involved will be disclosed on request to anyone reasonably shown to have been the victim of the fraud. Specifically, this includes that if a member benefit has been used to falsely obtain financial or other benefit from a partner, we will if requested, confirm the identity the person(s) involved to that partner.
reCAPTCHA protection
This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy applies to your use of the features it enables access to.
reCAPTCHA is essential to our ability to prevent spammers and others from misusing the features to disrupt the site and our ability to provide the services you are here to access.
Accuracy of information
The content on member listings and member profile pages is not under our direct control. Members enter their own information and have the ability to update it themselves.
Whilst we require our members to be honest and not to make any false or misleading claims (and they will be subject to sanction or expulsion if we find they do) we cannot absolutely guarantee they have not. You must satisfy yourself that any claims made are credible, as indeed you should when finding any provider from any source.
Proficiency is not and cannot be deemed liable for any information entered or managed by a member on its website; unless Proficiency has previously been notified about said content and has failed to act within a reasonable period of time to address it.
Member benefits
Prices for services offered by members
Members are not permitted to display prices for their services on any page hosted on the Proficiency website. If a breach of this rule is observed it should be brought to our attention by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Overall policy
We intend to operate in a profesional and transparent manner. The features being built into this website will be configured to ensure that happens and this policy will be updated to describe them once they are resolved.
