Privacy & Cookie Policy

How this website uses cookies, and how we handle personal data submitted through our contact form.

Cookies

This site uses a small number of cookies. Essential cookies (such as your light/dark theme preference) are stored automatically and cannot be switched off, as the site would not function correctly without them. They do not identify you personally.

We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site — for example, which pages are most viewed. This is entirely optional: the Google Analytics script only loads if you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. If you click "Decline", or don't respond, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.

Where Google Analytics is used, IP addresses are anonymised. Google's own handling of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy, which is independent of this site.

Your Personal Data: Usage and Protection

If you contact us through the form on our Contact page, we ask for your name, email address, and message. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant and with your consent, to keep you informed about the Cluster's programmes, events, and research. We may occasionally ask for your opinion through surveys.

We process personal data securely and in accordance with current data protection legislation. Please read the University of Bath's Data Protection Policy for full details of how the University handles personal data. We do not share your data with third-party organisations. Our policies on retaining data follow the University's records retention schedule.

You can opt out at any time by contacting us at uob.fed.dace.hcmc@gmail.com or the University's Data Protection Office.

Your Rights

You have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to withdraw consent to be contacted at any time. To exercise any of these rights, get in touch using the details above.
