WHO WE ARE AND PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

Pages Of The Sea is created by 14–18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary. 14-18 NOW is an independent programme hosted by the Imperial War Museums (IWM)

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is the UK’s national museum for the history of conflict involving UK and Commonwealth forces from 1914.  We work to record, inform and educate on the causes, course and consequences of modern warfare.

14–18 NOW takes the privacy of its audience and users very seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used and treated as part of the terms and conditions of this site. It is a summary of the full IWM Privacy policy, tailored to suit 14–18 NOW. You can find the full IWM Privacy Policy here.

Because we can use your personal information in a number of different ways, we have split this policy into sections that cover each category.  However, for all personal information we hold we undertake to:

  • Tell you about how your data is used, either at the time we collect it (if we collect it directly from you) or as soon as is practical afterwards (if we collect it from a third party).
  • Keep it securely and make it available only to those within the organisation who need to see it. Where we share data with other organisations, we will tell you first wherever possible (sometimes there may be legal reasons not to).
  • Where your data is processed by other organisations on our behalf, make sure that the processing is clearly defined, secure and governed by a contract.
  • Respect your rights over your personal data.
  • Inform you about major changes to this policy.

This policy is effective from 5 October 2018.
