We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
Our website uses cookies and related technologies. Read the cookie notice for more information and available consent controls.
What information do we collect?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:
- information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website (including your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views, website navigation and details);
- information you provide through our contact form, such as your name, email address, organisation, country or region, enquiry category and message;
- your email address and subscription information when you sign up for the ICCE newsletter;
- information that you choose to include in your correspondence with us.
Before you disclose to us the personal information of another person, you must obtain that person’s consent to both the disclosure and the processing of that personal information in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy.
Newsletter subscriptions
When you subscribe, we use your email address to send ICCE news, events and initiatives with your consent. We use Mailchimp to manage subscriptions and deliver these emails.
Our website signup form asks for your email address. Mailchimp sends a confirmation email, and you complete your subscription by following its confirmation link. You can withdraw your consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in our newsletter emails or by contacting info@icce.ws. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Your subscription information is transferred to Mailchimp for processing. Read Mailchimp’s privacy information for details of its practices.
