2. Your data

Protecting your personal data and privacy is important to us. When registering for membership of CoEEM we collect the personal ‘business card’ data supplied by you or your employer. We use it to create your account and to manage your access to CoEEM. By submitting your application you acknowledge that this information is contractually necessary to vet you as a member and for the subsequent delivery of CoEEM services to you.

Once registered as a member you will be invited to fill in your SQEP profile, configure your communication preferences and interact on the site with other members. We will use this information to improve the service for our members, to share relevant information and opportunities and with you. Engaging with the service in this way also contributes to the wider aim of CoEEM in mapping essential capability in energetic materials in the UK.

The profile area with the service gives you access to the information we hold on you. You are able to view and amend your communication preferences, hub memberships, personal details and SQEP profile within this area.

The value to the members of this service is to offer a secure portal where like-minded professionals are able to interact, discuss topics of interest, and seek out appropriate facilities or expertise in their fields of interest.

To improve the service CoEEM may use anonymised sets of member’s data to identify trends, the need for enhanced investment, training, research and development within strategic areas. You may choose to opt out of your data being used in this way by amending your preferences. However, in doing so the long term benefit of the portal to you and other members may diminish. Using anonymised data in this way allows us to develop the portal in line with your needs and those of the community.
