Privacy Policy
The East Accord (part of Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board which is responsible for this site) and the Midland Accord respects your personal and confidential information. Our Privacy Notice provides a summary of how we use your information as part of the Digital Ethics Charter.
Website privacy
Information on this page explains our privacy policy. It sets out how we will use and protect any information about you that you give us when you visit this website.
This privacy notice only covers the Digital Ethics Charter website (www.ethicscharter.co.uk). It does not cover all sites that can be linked to from this site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy notice on that site.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
When you sign up to the Digital Ethics Charter you will be asked to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. name and email address).
We may need your information to carry out tasks in the public interest, or to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. If you do not opt into these services, your data is anonymised.
Any information you provide will only be used by us, our agents and service providers and will not be disclosed unless we are obliged or permitted to by law to do so.
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on www.ethicscharter.co.uk or social media linked to the ethics charter or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour, we may use whatever information is available to us, about you, to stop such behaviour. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met or when you no longer wish to continue your relationship to the site.

Use of cookies
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable. Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies. They cannot be used to identify you personally.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- Enabling a service to recognise your device so you don’t have to give the same information several times during one task
- Recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don’t need to do it for every web page requested
- Measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there’s enough capacity to ensure they are fast.
