The British Society for Rheumatology is committed to protecting your privacy when you use our on-line, telephone or other services. In this policy we explain how and why we collect your information, what we do with it, and what controls you have over our use of it.

What data do we collect?

We collect personal information from you when you submit your details for conference or education course bookings or enquire about our activities or services, or otherwise provide us with personal information.

How will we use the information we collect about you?

We will use the personal information that you have given us to provide you with the services, enquiries or products that you have requested.

We will not sell or swap your details with any third parties. We may share your information with our service providers and associated organisations who act on our behalf in order to provide you with the services that you have requested. (For example if you contact a member of our staff to obtain your username and password for the website members’ area we will need to provide some of your personal details to our subscription department in order to obtain these details.)

If you are a member we provide other BSR/BHPR members with your details if they request them through us and if you have elected to make your information available to other members.

We will not share your personal information with third parties in any other way than described in this policy, unless required by law.
