1. Data manager
The CaReMe GA is the data controller or joint controller (similar terms may be used under applicable law), meaning that we decide how your personal data is collected, used, protected, disclosed, and disposed of. When we collect and process your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we do so as authorised by applicable data privacy laws.
2. How are your personal details collected?
In the course of our business operations, the CaReMe GA obtains personal data from you and third parties directly.
As part of our regular business operations, the CaReMe GA gathers personal information about you:
- When we communicate with one another about assessing, debating, and/or carrying out a Memorandum of Understanding about our cooperation on the CaReMe GA.
- During your interactions with our website, including adjusting your cookie settings.
When you register or sign in to a CaReMe GA user profile;
- When you sign up to get notifications and bulletins from The CaReMe GA and when you engage with those services;
- When you register for and take part in conferences and activities hosted by The CaReMe GA;
- When you upload content in public spaces like discussion forums, bulletin boards, and The CaReMe GA social networking platforms;
- When you take part in a CaReMe GA poll, panel discussion, or one-on-one conversation; or
- Whenever you contact The CaReMe GA or its staff via phone, email, or on one of its websites with a query, information request, or other request for a response.
- When you engage with any or all of the Executive Board members supervising the CaReMe GA, as well as other clinics or professionals who have already registered as members of the CaReMe GA.
In the course of our business operations, the CaReMe GA may also obtain personal information about you from other parties, such as data vendors and service providers. In the process of gathering personal data from third parties, we mostly use publicly accessible sources such as social media platforms, corporate websites, and other frequently used public sources. We make every effort to verify that the third party has obtained the information legally from the relevant sources and is permitted to share it with The CaReMe GA for the purposes specified in Section 3 below.
Sensitive personal information – We may also obtain sensitive personal information directly from you. For example, you may give us demographic or other personal information in response to a survey or panel discussion hosted by The CaReMe GA, or you may provide information to enable us to fulfil a specific request you may have for a conference or event. Only with your permission, unless there is another legal reason (such as public health needs), do we utilise sensitive personal data. We create reports and publications based on deidentified datasets when we gather and use sensitive personal data for statistical, research, and data analysis purposes.
To the extent that all such collection and use of personal data and sensitive personal data is consistent with this Privacy Policy and with the purposes and data access as described in section three below, we may combine personal data that we receive directly from you with personal data that we receive from third parties.
3. How and why do we use personal information about you?
Your personal data is used by the CaReMe GA for many purposes, some of which may involve combining data from other sources.

Nor will it permit any entity or individual acting on The CaReMe GA’s behalf to do so.
If The CaReMe GA gives a non-recipient (like a service provider) access to or discloses a deidentified dataset in any other way, it will need that recipient agree to keep the data in its deidentified form and not try—or allow others to try—to identify or reidentify any specific individuals within the deidentified dataset or use deidentified data in any other way to try and associate specific individuals with individual characteristics.
