Clear information about this website
This notice explains what personal information may be received through the British Board of IEMT website, how it is used, and where to find the Association’s wider data-protection policy.
At a glance
This is an information and governance website. It does not sell personal information and does not intentionally use advertising or behavioural-tracking tools. Please do not send detailed clinical records or other highly sensitive information through the website’s general contact routes.
Information we may receive
- Contact details and the content of messages sent by email or WhatsApp.
- Information supplied in connection with a concern or complaint.
- Practitioner-profile information displayed through the voluntary register.
- Limited technical information created by the website, hosting service or security logs, such as a date, time, browser type or internet address.
How information is used
Information is used only where reasonably necessary to answer enquiries, administer Board business, support the Association’s voluntary register and professional-standards arrangements, consider matters referred through the complaints process, maintain appropriate records, protect the website, and meet legal or safeguarding responsibilities.
Complaints and sensitive information
Complaints are received and investigated under the Association for IEMT Practitioners’ complaints procedure. If a matter is serious and potentially capable of being upheld, the Complaints Officer may pass the investigation report to the Director, Andrew T. Austin, who may refer it to the Board for advice and appropriate action within the voluntary membership and register framework.
Use the published complaints route rather than sending clinical notes, identification documents or extensive sensitive material in an initial message. Further information can be requested securely if it is needed.
Who information may be shared with
Relevant information may be shared, on a need-to-know basis, with the Complaints Officer, the Director, Board members, the Association, professional advisers, website or membership-service providers, or an appropriate authority where disclosure is required by law or necessary for safeguarding. Information is not shared for unrelated marketing.
Retention and your choices
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was received, including any professional, safeguarding, complaints, record-keeping or legal requirement. You may ask what personal information is held about you, request correction, or raise a data-protection concern by using the contact details published on this website.
Cookies and third-party services
The website may use essential cookies or similar storage required for WordPress, security and embedded membership-directory functions. Practitioner listings are delivered through MembershipWorks, which may process technical information needed to provide that service. The Board does not intentionally use this site for personalised advertising.
External websites linked from this site operate under their own privacy and cookie notices. The Association’s full data-protection and online-privacy policy applies to the voluntary register, membership and complaints systems it manages.
