Data protection
UCEM uses electronic forms to gather personal information for purposes directly related to the services that we supply.

- Process applications
- Provide services to delegates and applicants (including entering your registration or enquiry details into our relevant systems for administration purposes)
- Carry out research for internal purposes regarding our courses and services and we involve third parties to assist us in this respect purely for our own purposes
- Keep you informed about UCEM events and offers that may be of interest to you
- Produce statistical information about our products and services
