Privacy Policy

Who are we and what does this Privacy Policy cover?

The website ishne.org was is owned by The International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect about you when you use:

  • Our website ishne.org.
  • Our Contact Form on the Contact Page.

This Privacy Policy also applies to the information we collect when you submit the contact form. Throughout this Privacy Policy, we will refer to our website as the “Service”.

Below, we explain how we collect, use and share information about you, along with the choices you have.

What personal data do we collect and why do we collect it?

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so. We collect this information from two sources: if and when you provide us with information and automatically through the operation of our Services and from external sources. Let’s look at the information we collect.

Contact Form

We use a Contact Form on the contact page to easily send us messages. When you contact us via a form we collect your name, and e-mail address and store a copy of our communications. This information is sent by email to us and is not stored on the website but in a mailbox. We clean our mailboxes once every second year, at which point all personal information is deleted. We do not use the information submitted through the contact form for any purpose other than to respond to your message. By agreeing to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use before submitting your personal information through the contact form, you consent to your data being stored in our mailbox and used to respond to your message. The mail hosting and web hosting server is located in Europe.

Cookies information

Analytics
Like millions of other website owners, we use Google Analytics on ishne.org
Google Analytics is a piece of software that grabs data about our visitors (you). It’s something like an advanced server log.

What does Google Analytics record?

  • What website you came from to get here.
  • How long you stay for.
  • What kind of computer you’re using.
  • And quite a bit more.

What do we do with your data?
The tracking information allows us to better understand the kind of people who come to our site and what content they’re reading. This allows us to make better decisions about design and writing.
Occasionally, we will compile aggregate statistics about the number of visitors this site receives and browsers being used. No personally identifying data is included in this type of reporting.
All of our activity falls within the bounds of the Google Analytics Terms of Service.
Want to opt out of tracking? Please follow the “Cookie opt-out” instructions below.

Cookie opt-out

You can opt-out of our cookies by selecting “Decline” on the cookie consent banner, or by clicking the “Cookie settings” button on the lower right side of our website and then selecting “Decline”.

Web server

The web server collects the IP addresses of all visitors.

How long do we keep your data?

Contact form submissions (names and e-mail addresses) are stored until we clear our mailbox, unless you have requested it.
We do not delete the data collected by Google Analytics unless you request us to delete your data. The server logs log data up to 4 years.

What rights do you have to your data?

If we hold personal data about you, you can request to receive an extracted file of that data. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security reasons.

Questions about your rights as a user of our services.

What rights does the GDPR give me?

The GDPR gives EU individuals rights over their personal data. There are some exclusions/exceptions to the rights granted by the GDPR, but generally it includes rights to:

  • request access to the data we store about you
  • request updates/changes to your personal data
  • request the deletion of your personal data
  • transfer your personal data to a new service;
  • request that we limit the collection and use of your personal data (e.g., do not track the first-party analytics tool)

Although GDPR is a law that only applies in the European Union, we offer tools to manage your personal data to all our users.

In addition, you can expect that we as a company will work to protect the privacy of your personal data, we will only collect the data when we have a reason to do so and we will delete your personal data when we no longer need it.

How can I request access to my personal data? How can I request changes to it?

If you would like to know what personal data we have stored about you, please contact us with your request. If upon reviewing this data you need to request changes to it, please let us know and we will work with you to make the necessary corrections.

How can I delete my personal data?

If you wish to delete your personal data that we have stored about you, please contact us with your request.

How else do you protect my privacy and personal data?

User privacy is extremely important to us. Our privacy principles align with many of the GDPR principles. Your safety is our priority. Although no online service can ever be 100% secure, we work very hard to protect your information from unauthorized access. We support and promote user data encryption and encrypt all traffic (through SSL certificate).
