Types of data we collect
We use Google Analytics but we do not make, or allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. When you visit https://www.ep-scotland.org.uk we use Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour pattern. We do this so we know the number of visitors to various parts of the sites. The information is processed in a way which does not identify anyone.
We do have a mailing list. When you become a member of Environmental Protection Scotland or come to one of our events then we would like you to be added to our mailing list. We use our mailing list to contact you for our events, when your membership needs to be renewed, to receive our newsletter, to provide additional information to check our records are correct and to check every now and again that you are happy and satisfied with the service we provide you. If you consent to being on our mailing list then we would record your name, address, e-mail and telephone number. We do not rent or trade our list with other organisations and businesses.
We don’t use cookies on our website. No this isn’t a chocolate digestive, or a ginger nut, but rather a text file which records certain bits of information on your first visit to a website so that on your next visit the site knows you’ve been there before and will help you out a little.

Under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) you have the right to access, amend or delete any of your personal information that Environmental Protection Scotland holds. E-mail your request to Clare Carruthers, clare.carruthers@ep-scotland.org.uk
