How CNS handles the information you share through this website.
Who we are
The Clinical Nursing Society (CNS) runs this website. Contact the Secretariat at info@cns-uk.org.
What we collect
Your email address when you sign in, and the details you enter in our forms: membership applications, Academy bookings, service requests, and tutor or provider profiles. Service requests may include information about someone's care needs; you do not need to share a diagnosis.
Why we use it
To process your application, confirm sessions with tutors, match care requests with registered providers, verify NMC registrations, and contact you about your request. We do not sell your information or use it for advertising.
Who can see it
Your contact details are visible only to you and to CNS Secretariat editors. Tutor and provider profiles are public, except the NMC PIN and account email, which only the Secretariat can see.
How long we keep it
We keep requests for as long as needed to provide the service and meet our legal obligations, then delete them. You can ask us to remove your profile at any time from My account.
Your rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data, and object to its use. Write to the Secretariat to make a request. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
