Updated December 2019

This Privacy Policy lays down the rules of protecting Supply Chain Sustainability School members, Fellows and website users in connection with the processing of their data. We value your trust and we do the utmost to help you feel in control of your data. Below we have described, as transparently as possible, the scope of the data we process in connection with the use of our services and website, the purposes and methods of the processing, the data security rules and your rights related to the processing.

We take your privacy seriously and make five simple promises to you:

  1. We promise to keep your data secure unless you have given permission for your data to be shared.
  2. We promise to ensure that the services we offer on this site are free at the point of use.
  3. We promise never to sell or release your data to any third parties, except key funding stakeholders, as part of the evidence we require to access this funding.
  4. We promise to ensure that any funding stakeholders we share data with have entered into a non-disclosure agreement and will not share your data.
  5. We promise that if you want to change your details or unsubscribe from membership of the School you can do this at any time.

Our privacy policy explains in more detail how we use any personal information we collect about you when you become a member of the School.

We call people who attend our training events or access our online learning resources, members. Membership is free of charge. As a member, you have joined a unique collaboration of like-minded people and organisations striving for a more sustainable built environment.

What information we collect about you

We collect information about you when you register with the School or sign up for School related activities or services. We also collect information when you voluntarily complete surveys, provide feedback and participate in events. Website information is collected using cookies.

We use your information collected from the website to personalise your repeat visits to our website to provide you with valuable information to help you learn through the School.

The Supply Chain Sustainability School will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies outside the organisation.

Marketing

We want to send you information about the School, its learning resources and events which may be of interest to you and that can help complement any learning you are undertaking within the School. If you have consented to receive communications from the School, you may opt-out at a later date via your account settings under your profile.

You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you.

If you no longer wish to be contacted by us, please contact [email protected]

Access and correction to your information

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please email us at [email protected].

We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate.

You are entitled to view, amend, or delete the personal information that we hold.  You can do this by logging into your School account.  Should you wish to delete your account completely or have any other questions, please email your request to [email protected].

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.

Other websites

Our website contains links to other websites. This privacy policy only applies to this website so when you link to other websites you should read their own privacy policies.

Google Analytics

When someone visits the School website, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, 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 the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Mailing lists

As part of the registration process for membership, we collect personal information. We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about School resources, training events and anything that is related to what you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider to deliver our communications. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry-standard technologies to help us monitor and improve communications to you. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us at [email protected].

Our relationship with industry bodies

We may share anonymised personal information with other organisations who use this to analyse our School resource usage and plan funding, to understand the impact of the investment made in the Supply Chain Sustainability School.

Many of the resources in the School are presented in partnership with other companies.  We will let them know about your resource usage and event attendance and share your name and contact details with them but they can’t contact you unless you have agreed to do so with them. We have non-disclosure agreements with our website delivery partners, and you can view their privacy notices on their own websites:
