Privacy Policy

What information do we hold?
We collect information about you when you visit our website for the first time, and when you interact with our pages. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete our contact form.

Website usage information is collected using cookies.

​

How do we use it and why?
We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website. We'll use information you submit through our contact forms to help you with your specific issues. Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we must establish a legal basis for processing your personal data and let you know what this is. It is in CReME’s legitimate interest to process your personal data for the reasons outlined above. This processing shouldn't impact on you negatively and is necessary for our website to function correctly.

​

Who do we share it with?
If we want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this. We always make clear when we collect personal information and explain what we intend to do with it.

We can't take responsibility for the behaviour of sites linked to or from our website. You should consult their individual privacy policies for more information.

Cookies
Cookies are text files placed on your computer to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour information. This information is used to track visitor use of the website and to compile statistical reports on website activity. For further information visit:

www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

You can set your browser not to accept cookies and the above websites tell you how to remove cookies from your browser. However, in a few cases some of our website features may not function as a result.

​

Embedded content
Sometimes we'll embed content in our pages that we don't control or operate. This is common for social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. When you interact with these elements, which are always marked clearly, you've not interacted with our website but instead the service embedded, and we can't guarantee what data is collected.

​

Search engine
Our website search is powered by Cloudflare + Wix. Search queries and results are logged anonymously to help us improve our website and search functionality. No user-specific data is collected by either us or any third party.

​

We use this data to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

​

How long do we keep your data?
Personally identifiable data that's used at a top level for the maintenance and upkeep of the website is held in your browser in the form of cookies, which you have control over. You may delete them at any time.

Data collected through your voluntary contact with us via our contact form will be held for 12 months. If you use our contact form to request membership of CReME, your name and contact details will be added to our membership list, held securely by the Secretary of CReME and not used for any other purpose apart from e-mailing you about CReME conferences, meetings and business.
