Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

UK Veterinary Clinical Studies Registry("we", "us") is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with UK GDPR.

Data we collect

• Contact form: name, email, and message when expressing interest in a study
• Technical: essential cookies for site functionality
• Analytics (optional): if you accept analytics cookies, we store anonymous usage events such as pages visited, search filters used, link clicks, and time spent on a page. We use a random visitor identifier in your browser — not your name or email. We do not store your IP address in the analytics database.
• Audit log (internal): when you register, sign in, or change studies, we record security and workflow events (including your email, user ID, and IP address) for monitoring and compliance. These records are visible to authorised registry staff only.

The public website does not offer user accounts or registration. Study data is managed separately by authorised registry personnel via a secured database.

How we use your data

• To forward expressions of interest to study teams
• To operate the public registry website
• To understand how the registry is used and improve content (analytics only with your consent)

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data. Contact us at contact@uk-vcsr.org.

Data retention

Study records remain published for transparency. Contact form submissions are retained for audit purposes and forwarded to study teams.

ICO registration

The organisation operates under ICO Tier 1 registration (ref. ZB354074). Registration details will be updated once formal ICO registration is complete.
