Cookies

When you visit the NPM website pages, a small text file called a ‘cookie’, is downloaded onto your computer. This is called a session cookie. This will only remain on your computer until you close your browser. This cookie is not used to identify you personally in any way. We will use this type of cookie to collect aggregated website statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use the site. All of the information collected will be anonymous and only used to help us improve the website and report to funders on usage.

A persistent cookie will be downloaded when you first visit the site. These remain in your browsers cookie store between sessions. This type of cookie will allow us to identify repeat visitors to the site. Persistent cookies are also used to allow registered users to use the site without logging in on every visit.

You may opt to view the site without cookies by adjusting your browser’s settings. If you do disable cookies some functions of the site may no longer work correctly.

What we will do with your information?

Any information that is collected by NPM from this website will only be used for monitoring purposes unless you have given us consent for your information to be used e.g. Providing us with your email address so we can contact you, if you have registered as a regular site user, if you have registered for an event so that we can get back to you, or if you have made a purchase that we must post to you. We may, from time to time, send you relevant information about NPM and its work, although there will be an option for you to opt out of this at the registration stage.

If you sign up to our subscriber list, we will use your personal information to send you emails with information on events, and news which may be of interest to you. If you supply your information for other purposes, for example if you send us an enquiry, we will only use your information for the purpose of answering your query. If we want to use your data for any purpose outside of the terms of this policy, we will ask you first.

We will ensure that all personal information supplied is held securely, in accordance with the requirements of the relevant Irish legislation, namely the Irish Data Protection Act (1988), and the Irish Data Protection (Amendment) Act (2003). The data controller is NPM. If you have any queries regarding this please contact us.

NPM will keep your information for up to seven years after you actively discontinue your NPM membership. It will additionally monitor activity reports on our server and delete information on subscribers that show no activity for a sustained length of time (no less than two years, no more than seven years).

Access to information

Any formal, written request by a Data Subject for a copy of their personal data (a Subject Access Request) will be referred, as soon as possible, to the Data Protection Officer, and will be processed as soon as possible.

It is intended that by complying with these guidelines, NPM will adhere to best practice regarding the applicable Data Protection legislation.

Third party sites and links

Your personal information will be disclosed only to relevant representatives of the NPM, companies or persons specifically contracted to manage data for the NPM in accordance with its instructions (see third-party site information), and if there is a legal obligation to do so. Only necessary information is disclosed.
