What's this all about?
The idea of the UK trader locator is to enable our members to meet face to face with other traders who live nearby. We've set ourselves the goal of doing everything possible to open up the active trading community and this is one more step towards achieving that goal. While the internet and the T2W website opens up a wealth of possibilities to help bring traders together we recognise the limitations of communication via the internet, and how invaluable it is to be able to meet up with like minded people and share ideas and experiences.
The idea is simple, just enter your postcode and we'll store this information in our database, the more people who register their interest the more chance there is of finding someone who lives close to you. When the Locator goes live in January 2003, it will search through the database and return the names of the members who live closest to you (in miles distance). You are then free to contact that member through the Private Messaging service which is already available through the website.
Who's this for?
This service is open to anyone all registered members of T2W and will be of use to anyone living in the the UK.
What do I need to do?
All you have to do is enter your postcode - it's the easiest way for us to locate where you are in the UK. With this information we can accurately tell where you live in relation to other traders. Simply submit this on the front page of T2W.
Do I need to enter my full postcode?
No. If you would rather not give your full postcode, you can still add just the first part of your postcode, although it will not be as accurate, we will be still be able to locate your approximate location.
For example Trade2Win's full postcode is: CV1 2TT. If you did not wish to enter the full postcode you could enter the first part: CV1 instead.
What do we do with the information we collect?
This information will be stored in our database, and will be used solely for the purposes of the trader search facility. Neither your postcode or any personal data such as email address supplied to T2W will be given out during any part of the search process. Your privacy is guaranteed. The only information that is viewable on the search facility is the distance of the nearest members to you - you can then use T2W's private messaging facility to send a message to those people you wished to make contact with.
Can I remove my postcode if I no longer wish my name to come up on the searches?
Yes. Simply email us at [email protected] with your member username and we will immediately remove your postcode for you.
