Information about you: how we use it
The information you provide will be used by the MacCaLM project for the purpose of email marketing. The project processes the personal data of people on the mailing list, in order to keep them up to date with relevant events and outputs. To do so, we use The Newsletter Plugin and Dotmailer as our mailing systems. The information you provide will be used by MacCaLM to:

- Ensure we only communicate with you about events and associated events of interest to you
Sharing Information
We are using information about you because you have previously given us consent to be added to our newsletter mailing list. We will not share your data with any third party.
We will hold the personal data you provided us for 5 years. After this period we will send a communication to you querying whether you wish to remain on our mailing list. Alternatively, you can opt out of the mailing list at any time.
