This website is owned and controlled by the Anaphylaxis Campaign.
The Anaphylaxis Campaign is committed to protecting the privacy of people who use our website. We collect information from and about our users to help us improve the services we offer. We will not release personally identifiable information (as described below) about users of this website without their permission.
This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms & Conditions governs your interaction with this website, and your registration for and use of our online services.
Opt-Out Option: If you would like to have your personally-identifiable information removed from the Anaphylaxis Campaign’s databases going forward, please emailinfo@anaphylaxis.org.uk, and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. However, there will be residual information that will remain within our databases, access logs, and other historical internal records, which may or may not contain such personally-identifiable information.
The Information we may gather:
1. Non-personally identifiable information:
As a standard practice, our website assigns a random number to each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns. This random number lets us keep track of “how many” times users are doing specific things — like visiting our site each month — without knowing who those users are.
We analyse this information for trends and statistics, such as which parts of our site users are visiting, how long they spend there and what users are searching for on our website. We use all this information in order to improve our content, plan site enhancements, and measure overall website effectiveness.
2. Personally identifiable information:
In certain areas of this website, we ask you to provide us with personal information, in order to be able to use that part of the website, or to progress a particular action (for example joining the Campaign as a member, or purchasing a training course)..
For instance, if you wish to join the Anaphylaxis Campaign as a member, we will ask you for your name, address, email or mobile phone number and some information about allergies (if relevant).
We use this personal information to enable us to do a number of things, including:
- Sending allergy alerts by email or text directly to members who request this
- Sending e-newsletters, magazines and information about events such as workshops and support groups in your local area
- Tracking trends in the prevalence of specific allergies
- Inviting members to participate in ongoing third party research into allergy
If you submit a request for more information from us through our “Contact us”, the information you submit will only be used by the Anaphylaxis Campaign.
The personal information we collect from members is private and is never sold to any third parties. We will not disclose any personally identifiable information to any third parties unless required to do so by law.
If you have any queries about this policy please feel free to contact us.
