What data do you collect?

When you browse our website, the personal data that we collect includes your anonymized IP address, the pages you viewed, the time of your requests, the time spent on a page, mouse events, keypresses, browser, and operating system and version.

We always ensure that we have a lawful basis for processing the personal data that we collect. When you browse our website, the lawful basis for processing your data is that it is necessary for our legitimate interests to understand how people are using our website in order to improve the experience for our visitors.

If you sign up to one of our mailing lists, or fill in a form to get access to a specific publication or to contact us, the personal data we collect includes your full name and email address, as well as your full IP address, user agent, and referrer for anti-spam measures. We collect your personal data from you, via our website, when you have completed our sign-up or content request form. In this case the lawful basis for processing your data is that it is consent.

Okay, great. What are my rights?

You have the right to request access to your personal data, amendments to it, and for it to be deleted.

• We use data collected from our website visitors, including anonymized IP address, viewed pages, time of visit, time spent on site, browser information, mouse movement, keypresses, and operating system and version information to understand the user journey on our website so that we can better tailor the experience for all of our website visitors.
