Privacy Statement
This statement explains what personal information we collect, and what we do with it.
Why we collect personal information
To further our mission of promoting knowledge exchange about the role of movement in autism between researchers, practitioners, and the autism community at large, we collect a small amount of personal information.
Uses of this information include:
- Publicising Moving in Autism events;
- Publicising research about the role of movement in autism;
- Maintaining communication between ourselves and our partners;
- Publicising research opportunities.
What types of information we collect
We gather a very limited amount of personal information, used to personalise newsletters, create conference registrations, and send out communications.
These details include:
- Names, email addresses, telephone numbers;
- Job title and place of work;
- Marketing preferences (e.g. whether you have opted to receive newsletters);
- Records of contacts (e.g. your requests or enquiries, event attendance)
- Opinions you have offered, feedback, complaints, comments and/or suggestions;
The personal information collected may be stored in electronic and/or hard copy formats.
All information collected will be limited to the necessary details only and will not be used beyond the purposes indicated.
How we collect personal information
Moving in Autism collects personal information through one or more of the following data collection media:
- Subscription to our newsletter via the form on our website;
- Registration to our events via our website, our partners, or external sites such as Eventbrite;
- Registration in-person at our events.
In general, the Moving in Autism will acquire the personal information it requires about you directly from yourself. However, it may also collect and/or add information from other sources when it is lawful to do so and when that is likely to enhance the efficiency and relevance of the services that we provide.
Third parties
Personal information will be made available to those members of the Moving in Autism team who need to see it in the context of their role and the purpose for which it was collected. Information may be held in MailChimp, as US-based newsletter platform. Where it is necessary to share data with external service providers, such as caterers or transport companies for conferences and events, this will be on a need-to-know basis only. If necessary for event planning, we may share your data with conference or event partners on a need-to-know basis.
