Information about you – How we use it and with whom we share it 

We are assisting the International Image Sensor Workshop from 21st May – 25th May 2023 by providing event management and registration. 

We will use your personal data to allow us to process your registration, communicate with you, and obtain your feedback about the event. We are processing the information about you for these purposes because by registering for the event, you are entering into a contractual agreement for us to do so. 

In order to facilitate online bookings for our events we use a third party service ePay which is not operated by The University of Edinburgh. Details of their privacy policy can be viewed here. 

If you wish to attend this event, but do not wish to use ePay, please email us at iisw23@eng.ed.ac.uk. 

If you have given us your permission, we will share your name, affiliation and contact details with the other participants in the delegate list. 

In most cases, personally identifying information is stored on University of Edinburgh servers within the UK. However, the University does use third-party companies to enhance the quality, service and functionality of certain web services. Indicatively some of the tools we use are:

Alternatively, you can opt out of the mailing list at any time.

We only use the personal data you have provided in order to deliver and improve the opportunities and services we offer in a personalised manner, to ensure each individual receives relevant information. 

The information you provide will be used to: 

Provide you with information on any services you have requested and the promotion of benefits and services.

We do not use profiling or automated decision-making processes. A human decision maker will always be involved before any decision is reached in relation to you.
