Privacy policy

The Society for Risk Analysis-Europe (SRA-E) is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We've structured our websites so that, in general, you can visit us on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.

This Privacy Policy sets forth SRA-E’s practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide through this site. Please read this entire Privacy Policy before using this site or submitting information to SRA-E through this site.

By using this site, and whenever you submit information through this site to SRA-E by signing up to a newsletter, applying for access to the members area and/or interacting in any form with the website (e.g. liking/commenting on its posts/pages), you agree with the terms of SRA-E's Internet and Communications Privacy Policy specified below.

All aspects of the privacy policy referred in this section, comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.

Data Collection

SRA-E only collects personally identifiable data such as your name and email address when you voluntarily submit it to SRA-E. No other personal information is collected (address, credit/debit card information, telephone number, etc). This information may be used by personnel of SRA-E as a means to contact you and provide you with information that you have requested or additional information that SRA-E believes may be of interest to you, in the form of newsltetters or email contacts.

The data will not be transferred to a third party outside of SRA-E without your prior consent, but may be used within SRA-E, SRA International or by a company acting as an agent of SRA-E or SRA International, for secretariat and mailing purposes.

While SRA-E makes every reasonable effort to protect the information collected through its websites, please be aware that there is always some risk involved when submitting data over the Internet. Although our server hosting service has protection agains such risks, we cannot guarantee that our website is safe from illegal tampering or "hacking."

Any data transmitted over the Internet may be at risk; however, once it is received at SRA-E and entered into its database, it has the same protection that SRA-E extends to its own confidential information.

We track the total number of visitors to our website, the number of visitors to each page of the website, and the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers, through Google Analytics. No personally identifiable information is gathered in this process.

Updating Your Information

If at any time you wish to stop receiving emails or other communications from us, or if you have submitted personally identifiable information through our website and would like to have that information deleted from our records, please notify us at sraeurope.mail [at] gmail.com

You may also request access to personal data about you that SRA-E holds and you may have the opportunity to request a correction or amendment to your personal data.

Links to Third-Party Sites

As a convenience to our visitors, our sites may contain links to other (non-SRA-E) sites that we believe may offer useful information. The Privacy Policy presented here does not apply to those sites. You should contact these sites directly for information on their privacy policies, confidentiality agreements, and data collection/distribution procedures.

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect cookies. A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred language and other settings. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies play an important role. Without them, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.

User and event data retention is set for 14 months. In case you want to remove cookies before this period, you can either clean the cache on your webbrowser or request us to do it.

For more information on how and what type of cookies Google collects, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies 

Using cookies to track page visits helps us analyze our site usage more accurately. In cases in which cookies are used, we will not collect personally identifiable information except with your explicit permission. Please note that linked non-SRA-E sites may also use cookies.

Security

The security of users’ personal information is important to us. We use commercially reasonable standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.

Electronic communication (for example: email, online chat, or instant messaging) that users may send SRA-E may not be secure unless SRA-E advises users in advance that security measures will be in place prior to transmitting the information. Users should not send confidential information such as financial information, social security numbers or passwords to SRA-E through unsecured electronic communication.
