We keep a record of the emails we send you and like most websites, we receive and store certain details whenever you use the The SIM Project website. The information collected in this way cannot identify you personally but provides data on what you do on the site.
The SIM Project website uses ‘cookies’ to help us make our site and the way you use it better. ‘Cookies’ are small text files that are stored by the browser on your computer or mobile phone.

What we use your information for
We aim to be clear when we collect your data and to not do anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect. If you sign up to our mailing list or give a donation we usually collect your name and contact details. We use this data to provide you with information on events and project updates. Occasionally we may let you know about partner organisations and organisations that support us. We make it easy for you to opt out of these communications at any time. Every email sent to you will tell you how to do this. If we run an event in partnership with another named organisation your details may need to be shared in order that they can help us run the event.
