The information published here applies to the use of your personal information (also known as 'personal data') by the University of Cambridge through the viewing or use of this site.

General personal information collected on our websites

When you visit any of the websites within the Cambridge domain, the University holds certain information about you for service and security reasons. For more information on this, please see https://www.cam.ac.uk/about-this-site/privacy-policy

Specific personal information collected on this website

To sign up to our newsletter, you will need to share your personal data with Mailchimp, a third party service that we use. We require an email address to provide the newsletter service. We also invite you to tell us your name and institution (optional). That information helps us to understand who is a subscriber. Mailchimp also uses cookies to provide us with reports so that we can understand how people engage with the quarterly news; this helps us to review and improve the relevance and accessibility of our mailings. Anyone can review an archive of past newsletters without subscribing and we provide a link to this option as part of the sign-up form. (Mailchimp's main servers are based in the USA. Their data policies require that data is held in compliance with relevant EU and UK legislation. You can read more about how Mailchimp uses personal data and how to opt out of tracking on their website [mailchimp.com/privacy-rights/].)

For some events run by the CCCT (or by third parties), we use Eventbrite to handle registration. Eventbrite will require a name and email address in order to process your registration. This can then be used to confirm your registration and to share messages about the event (e.g., venue access information, amendment to schedule, or a request for post-event feedback). We may also include custom questions as part of the registration process to gather information that assists us with event planning. This information is only available to those directly involved in event delivery, and is normally deleted within 12 months of the event. We may extract anonymised data (e.g., total number of event attendees, sectors represented) to share with funders and partner organisations. This data sharing will not include any personal data. Learn how Eventbrite handles data via their website's support pages (www.eventbrite.co.uk/support/).

For some events run by the CCCT, we use Microsoft Forms to handle registration. Registration normally requires an email address. This can then be used to confirm your registration and to share messages about the event (e.g., venue access information, amendment to schedule, or a request for post-event feedback). For some events, e.g. where catering is offered, we may ask extra information to support attendees’ needs. Data is only available to those directly involved in event delivery and is normally deleted within 12 months of the event. We may extract anonymised data (e.g., total number of event attendees, sectors represented) to share with funders and partner organisations. This data sharing will not include any personal data. View Microsoft’s information about security and privacy of information (support.microsoft.com).

If we ask you to pay for something (for example, a Conference registration fee), we will refer you to the University's online store. Your payment information will be held securely and processed in accordance with the University's rules. The store team will share with us essential information so that we can provide you with the relevant service.

If you are interested in providing financial support for the activities of the CCCT, we may transfer you to webpages managed by the Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations team. These pages comply with the University's privacy policy for alumni and supporters. 

If we need to pay you, we follow the policies and procedures of the University of Cambridge with regard to data handling and retention. Please see link in next section.

The information on this page is concerned with data collected online. It does not cover the collection or use of personal data for research projects. Where you are asked to provide your data for such purposes, the lead researcher is responsible for providing information about the purposes and the arrangements for data handling and security, in line with University policy and complying with ethical standards.
