What information does UCEMA collect?

Normal website usage

In general, you can browse the UCEMA site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  The only information we gather during general browsing is from standard server logs.  These include your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the web site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits.

Collection of personally identifiable information

If you register for a newsletter, log on to the UCEMA site, order merchandise, request information, provide feedback, apply for a job, join a discussion group or join an electronic mailing list, you will be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address.  This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission, and is kept in various UCEMA databases. If you are purchasing something on the web, you may be asked to provide your credit card details.

UCEMA sites with specific requirements to collect personal information may publish a privacy policy specific for that site.  In these cases, the site-specific policies will be complementary to this general UCEMA privacy policy, but will give additional details for that particular use.

For certain UCEMA sites, registering or supplying personal information sets a cookie.*  By setting this cookie, UCEMA will remember your details the next time you visit, so you don’t have to re-enter the information. This helps us to provide you with a better service.

Joining electronic discussion groups may mean that other participants of the discussion group (including non-UCEMA employees) will see personal information that you have volunteered.  For open discussion groups, this information will be public.

Special note about information from children

All areas in the UCEMA domain are available to children, including interactive sites such as group discussions.  Some of these require user-specific information to be provided to UCEMA. We ask for the minimum amount of personal information in this case.

These parts of the UCEMA site are for children and authorized adults only and unauthorized adults are not to participate in these parts of the UCEMA site.  (Obtaining user information helps us in that regard if needed.)

Children should make sure their parents, or the adults who are caring for them, know they are participating in the UCEMA sites and are providing this limited user information.
