The data we might ask you to supply to CIE-UK include your contact details for membership, applications for support to attend CIE-related events, and your bank details for payments.
The privacy and security of your information is very important to us. We want you to trust that the information that you have provided to us is being properly managed and protected. We have prepared this Privacy Statement to explain more about how we collect and manage your information.
We are committed to collecting and using your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We will only collect, use and share your information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this.
This may be because:
When you take out membership, purchase something, apply for or receive a grant from us, as part of the process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address, and if you are awarded a grant – bank details. When you browse our website, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address together with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. With your permission, we may send you emails about our news and other updates.
When you provide us with personal information to take out membership or complete a transaction, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us.
We may disclose your personal information only if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms & Conditions.
CIE-UK does not keep records of your credit or debit card information. If you are due a grant from us, we may request your bank account details to make the payment.
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.
Once you leave our site or are redirected to a third-party site or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy policy nor our Terms & Conditions.
When you click on links on our website, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality and security of the information that you provide to us. To do this, technical, physical and organisational security measures are put in place to protect against any unauthorised access, disclosure, damage or loss of your information. The collection, transmission and storage of information can never be guaranteed to be completely secure, however, we take steps to ensure that appropriate security safeguards are in place to protect your information.

We will also retain information if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation.
We maintain a data retention policy which we apply to the records we hold.
