Prospects
Our initial contact with prospects is normally by email or letter, or face to face at meetings and events.

We will keep a log of your company name and the date when you made the request, to ensure we respect your wishes.
External contacts
We may hold contact information for relevant stakeholders in the healthcare and assistive technology sector and media which will be collated from public sources, or which may be acquired at events and meetings.
We may use this to send copies of our magazine, the “Bulletin”, or to publish information about BHTA and member activity, but you can opt out at any time by contacting us on telephone 020 7702 2141 or by email to bhta@bhta.com
Events and courses
We will send information about courses and events to member contacts and to prospects and external contacts for whom the content is relevant. You can opt out at any time by contacting us on telephone 020 7702 2141 or by email to bhta@bhta.com.
Information will be required to secure your booking for an event, process your payment (where applicable) and ensure that your health and wellbeing is catered for. Information may be passed on to a third party such as an external training/event provider delivering on our behalf, or to external caterers or the venue staff.
We may take photographs at events, or video them, but will make you aware in advance where this will be the case. The material may be used for social media and future marketing and promotions.
If you have attended a training course we will retain a record of your name, the name of the course, the date held and the result of an exam (where applicable) so that we can respond appropriately to any future queries regarding claims about qualifications and continuing professional development. For all other events delegate information will be deleted no more than 3 years after the event.
Security and storage of your personal information
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
