Heart-Scan Privacy Statement

Your privacy on www.heart-scan.co.uk

This Web site is administered by Heart-Scan and its webmaster support partner. The primary purpose of www.heart-scan.co.uk is to promote the activities of Heart-Scan. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of how we protect your privacy during your visit.

What information do we collect?

Information on Heart-Scan website is collected in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of Heart-Scan website).

How do we use this information?

We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor Heart-Scan website to make it more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, but will not sell data for commercial gain.

Will we share this with outside parties?

We do not sell information about individuals and any information we receive will be shared only with our advisers and members as appropriate. There may be other times when we wish to share information, for example, between other members of the organization in complete confidence.

What about sensitive personal data?

We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this notice.

These categories may comprise personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, colour, nationality, political opinions or convictions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or handicap, genetic code, addictions, gender, sexual life (including sexual orientation), pregnancy, property matters or penal or criminal conviction or record (including where a pardon has been granted).

As a national organization with international links, data we collect may be transferred across national borders. While we take steps to maintain the security of Heart-Scan website, you should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.
