Privacy Policy

The Data Protection Policy employed by the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the finest quality services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our students, suppliers, patients, associates and staff. The Policy guides how we collect store and use information about individuals and organisations. It will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and the changing needs of everyone we deal with.

Our Data Protection Policy recognises Personally-Identifiable Information which includes, for example, e-mail addresses.

BCOM collects Personally-Identifiable Information only when there is a legitimate business need to do so.

Notice: We will inform you about why we are collecting Personally-Identifiable Information and how we intend to use it. We need to collect and store your name, address, and other basic Personally-Identifiable Information, for example, to provide you with the service you requested.

Opt In: BCOM will never share your details with any third party.  From time to time, we may contact you with newsletters or details of products or services that we feel may be of interest to you.  If, after you have opted in, you do not wish to receive this information, you can click the unsubscribe link in the footer of any email you receive from us, or contact us at info@bcom.ac.uk.

Security: We will maintain appropriate safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of your Personally-Identifiable Information;

Review and Correction: We are continuing to enhance our procedures to enable you to review and correct, upon request, the Personally-Identifiable Information we collect from you. Currently, we need you to make such a request in a manner that can be verified; BCOM will not sell personal data in any form, including mailing lists. All its data are for internal use only.

BCOM will continue to oversee implementation of and compliance with our Policy and will adapt the Policy to reflect changes in technology and the expectations of everyone we deal with.

We have established procedures to ensure that every reasonable effort is made to address your concerns. If you have any questions or comments on BCOM and its data protection policy please contact the Facilities Manager at info@bcom.ac.uk
