We use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of behaviour patterns for visitors to ITT’s website. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to different sections of the website.

ITT uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer's hard drive and which is revealed to ITT when you use the "www.itt.co.uk" website. Cookies contain information about you and your preferences. Only the information that you provide or the choices you make when you visit a website can be stored in a cookie. Allowing a website to create a cookie does not give that or any other website access to the rest of your computer, and only the site that created the cookie can read it. ITT will only use the cookies created to record login information. Most browsers allow you to turn off the cookie function. If you want to know how to do this, please refer to the help menu on your browser. You do not need to allow your browser to accept cookies in order to use this service. However, if you decide to reject cookies, we will not be able to provide you with certain personalised services. Alternatively, you can delete cookies from your system at any time.

How we collect and store data

Members: When a person or company signs up to become a Member of ITT, we will collect very specific and relevant information as a necessary part of being able to provide a membership service. At the time of joining, we will explain what we intend to do with the information collected.

Personal data is collected via online booking forms, written communications, telephone calls and via email.

The data is stored in EventsAir, a cloud based Events and Membership database system. EventsAir technology is certified as PCI DSS version 3 Level 1 Compliant.
