Children's Surgery Society is a student society at the University of Nottingham. This page explains what personal details we collect when you book a session, what we do with them, and what this website stores on your device.
When you book a session
We ask for your full name, email address, year, course, University of Nottingham student number, and which sessions you'd like to come to.
Why we need it
- To run our sessions. Bookings tell us how many people are coming, so we can plan our sessions and book rooms.
- To contact you. We email you a booking confirmation, and we may email you about the sessions you've booked, for example if a time or room changes.
- To record engagement. We sometimes share anonymised attendance and engagement figures with the University of Nottingham Students' Union and the University of Nottingham School of Medicine. This matters a lot to us as we work towards becoming an affiliated society.
We don't use your details for anything else, we don't sell them, and we don't add you to any mailing list without asking.
Where your details are kept
Bookings are stored in a Google Sheet in the society's own Google account, and confirmation emails are sent from that account. Only members of the society committee can see the bookings. Google stores this data on our behalf under its own privacy policy.
How long we keep them
We delete all booking details at the end of each academic year.
Cookies and this website
This site sets no cookies at all, and runs no analytics or advertising. It stores one item in your browser's local storage:
| Name | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
css-cookie-notice-seen |
Remembers that you dismissed the notice at the bottom of the page, so it doesn't reappear on every visit. | Until you clear your browser data for this site. |
It contains no personal information and is never sent to us. Our typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts. Like any website, our web server keeps standard access logs (the page requested, the time and your IP address) to keep the site running securely. They aren't used to identify anyone.
Some pages link to Instagram, Google Forms, the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Once you follow one of those links you're on someone else's site, and their own policies apply.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to see the details we hold about you, to correct them, or to delete them. If you can no longer come to a session you've booked, just reply to your confirmation email and we'll remove you.
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your details, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
