We use the term “cookie” to describe cookies and similar technologies such as
tags and pixels. Cookies are small data files that websites place on your
computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device. Cookies are useful because they allow
our website to recognise your visit and collect information about your visit and
how you used the website.
The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly
necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we

What cookies do we use?
There are different types of cookies. The cookies we use on our website are
either necessary or optional, including third party cookies.
We understand that not everyone likes data to be collected about them when it's
not strictly necessary and so we'll ask you to set your preferences when you
first visit our website. To make it easier to choose which optional cookies to
accept, we've organised these cookies by category. You can choose which
categories you'd be happy for us to use in your cookie settings and make changes
at any time to change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Policy on our
website.

The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh operates as a Group through its

applies to all Faculties, subsidiaries and related entities within the Group.
2. RCSEd is committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the security
of any personal information you provide to us. We are a Data Controller and
registered on the Data Protection Register of the Information Commissioner’s
Office (ICO) with registration number Z5731683. Our entry may be viewed at
https://ico.org.uk/ESDWebPages/Entry/Z5731683.
3. You can contact RCSEd’s Data Protection team by emailing

following services:
* Any RCSEd website or application/registration form that references this
privacy policy
* Official RCSEd digital communications channels
* Telephone, letters and other correspondence
5. RCSEd does not collect sensitive/special category information about you
except when you specifically and knowingly provide it. RCSEd collects data
to uniquely identify you as an individual in relation to applications for
Membership, Examinations, Courses or other events you apply for. RCSEd also
collects data to allow analysis and evaluation regarding the equality and
fairness of its service provision and offerings.
6. RCSEd collects data directly from you in order to carry out its activities.
The data collected falls within the following categories:
* Membership data (for example name, date of birth, election data, contact
details etc.)
We will retain this information for the duration of your membership + 7 years.
Thereafter, only a small part of the data will be kept as a core archival
record.
* Examinations data (for example data about your exams applications,
submissions and results)
We will retain this information for the duration of your membership + 7 years.
Thereafter, only a small part of the data will be kept as a core archival
record.
* Course, events and webinar data (for example data about your course
application and attendance)
We will retain this information for the duration of your membership + 7 years.
* Equality Monitoring Information (ethnicity, religion, etc.)
This data will be held to generate required monitoring reports and will be
retained for the duration of your membership.
* Professional information (speciality, grade, place of work, etc.)
We will always retain this data in an anonymised format to understand trends
over time. We will only hold it in a way that connects it to you for the time
you are engaged with us and our services and for up to 7 years afterwards.
* Financial records
We will retain financial records for 7 years after they were made and thereafter
only record that a payment was made. Financial records will be destroyed once
the standard retention period has elapsed.
7. RCSEd has legitimate business interests to collect and process the
categories of data mentioned above. RCSEd’s legitimate interests allow RCSEd
to provide membership services, operate examinations and run courses in the
interests of the data subject, as well as using anonymised data to monitor
trends and to improve its services. RCSEd will only use this data in ways
that its data subjects would reasonably expect, and will not use this data
in an intrusive manner. RCSEd will always provide the option to opt-out when
it is possible to do so.
8. RCSEd may sometimes rely on your consent to process your data. Where your
express consent has been obtained, RCSEd will only use your data for the
purposes for which your consent was given. You can withdraw your consent at
any time by contacting the College’s DPO at dataprotection@rcsed.ac.uk.
9. If you register for an account with RCSEd’s websites, the information you
provide will be used to allow you to log into and use the advanced features
of the website.
10. RCSEd uses cookies to collect user information from the website. This is
information from you, such as but not limited to, your browser type and
your Internet Protocol (IP) Address. For the avoidance of doubt, we treat
this type of information as personal data. RCSEd uses this Information to
track, evaluate, and improve the use of its website. Read more information
about cookies here.
11. Unless you tell us otherwise, RCSEd may occasionally advise you of new
activities or website features. RCSEd may alert you electronically by
e-mail to important surgical or medical information. RCSEd may offer
services on a limited basis to demographically identified groups of users.
You may opt-out of this at any time by following the instructions in the
marketing communication that you receive, by setting your preferences in
your profile, or by contacting us. You may choose not to allow RCSEd to use
your information like this in the first place by checking the appropriate
box when providing your information on your initial registration.
12. Subject to the other clauses in this Privacy Statement, RCSEd does not
share personal data with third parties without your permission.
13. RCSEd will on occasion share a reasonable amount of personal data with
third parties in order to carry out its activities and missions – for
example, with other partner Colleges, or with mailing companies who process
routine correspondence with the membership on our behalf. RCSEd will only
share the minimal amount of data necessary for the agreed purposes, and
will use and continue to develop robust data sharing agreements with the
said third parties.
14. RCSEd does not permit third parties to use the personal data for their own
purposes and only permits them to process Members’ personal data for
specified purposes and in accordance with the RCSEd’s instructions.
15. It is usual, as part of a recruitment process, for a medical professional’s
prospective employer to use trusted third party companies such as
EPIC/EFMG, DataFlow, or other similar companies, to verify the references,
qualifications and credentials claimed by the medical professional. These
companies will contact institutions such as RCSEd to verify these
credentials. Upon request from these companies, RCSEd will confirm whether
the information provided by the medical professional is accurate. This is a
College Member’s benefit only, and will not apply to Fellows and Members
who are not in good standing with RCSEd. In this instance, the medical
professional will have to contact the College directly to reinstate their
membership or to pay an administration fee if they wish to have their
credentials verified.
16. RCSEd does on occasions and when relevant only share limited information
with constituents of its Group (e.g. subsidiary companies or Faculties).
RCSEd will only do so in accordance with UK data protection legislation.
14. RCSEd will occasionally transfer personal data outside the EEA and will do
so in accordance with UK data protection legislation and this Privacy
Statement. RCSEd will transfer information to its Malaysian subsidiary,
RCSEd Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. for the purpose of carrying out RCSEd activities
within the ASEAN region. Information will concern solely RCSEd’s Fellows,
Members and Affiliate members within the following countries:
* Malaysia
* Myanmar
* Indonesia
* Philippines
* Singapore
* Thailand
Personal data transferred may include:
* Surname and First Name
* Status (Surgical or Dental)
* Subscription Category
* Country of Domicile
* Personal and/or professional email Address
* Telephone Number
* Specialty
15. RCSEd may also disclose your personal information to prevent an emergency,
to prevent harm to others, to respond to legal requirements (for instance
requests from the General Medical Council or other similar regulatory
bodies), to protect or enforce its rights, to protect or enforce the rights
of a third party, or as required or permitted by law (including, without
limitation, to comply with a subpoena or court order).
