Information We Process

We may process information you provide when contacting CIS, engaging with the Society or using membership services. This may include your name, contact details, professional information, correspondence and information required to administer a membership or event participation. When the website is accessed, technical data such as IP address, browser information, access time and requested pages may be processed by the hosting infrastructure for secure delivery and operation.

Purpose of Processing

Personal information is not sold or rented to third parties for marketing purposes.

CIS Connect

Links to CIS Connect lead to the private member platform. Login, membership and platform activity may be processed within that separate service. Members should also review the privacy information made available within CIS Connect.

Embedded Video

This website embeds a video through YouTube using its privacy-enhanced domain. Loading or playing embedded content may establish a connection with YouTube or Google and may result in technical information being transmitted to those providers. Their own privacy terms apply to that processing.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website and embedded third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies required for functionality, security or media delivery. Available cookie controls and browser settings can be used to restrict optional technologies.

Service Providers and Third Parties

Technical service providers may process information where necessary to host, secure and operate the website or connected services. Our website may also contain links to third-party websites. CIS does not control the privacy practices of those external services and recommends reviewing their respective privacy policies.

Security and Retention

We use appropriate organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Information is retained only for as long as required for the relevant purpose or applicable legal obligations.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable data protection law, you may request information about your personal data and ask for inaccurate information to be corrected or for data to be deleted where no overriding retention obligation applies.
