Transforming Cardiometabolic Care

Privacy Notice

This notice explains what personal information the CardioMetabolic Health Foundation collects through cardiometabolic.foundation, why, and what your rights are. The short version: the website sets no cookies and runs no tracking, and we only hold information you choose to send us.

Who we are

The CardioMetabolic Health Foundation (“CarMeF”, “we”, “us”) is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, registration number 1216451. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website.

For any privacy question or request, email collaborate@cardiometabolic.foundation.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as a data controller, registration number ZB836042.

What information we collect

When you visit the website. Like any website, our pages are delivered to your browser over the internet. To do this, our hosting provider and font provider automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. We do not use this to identify you, and we do not see it ourselves.

When you contact us. If you email us or use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and anything you include in your message, such as your job title, organisation or the reason you are getting in touch.

What we do not do. The website does not use cookies, analytics, advertising trackers or social media pixels. We do not ask for, and do not want to receive, information about your health through this website or by email. Please do not send us personal medical details; we are not able to give individual medical advice.

How we use it, and our lawful basis

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we must have a lawful basis for each use of your information.

We will not add you to a mailing list or send you marketing without your consent. We never sell your information.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers who process information on our behalf:

Some of these providers may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where that happens, the transfer is protected by safeguards recognised under UK law, such as the UK–US Data Bridge or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

We do not share your information with anyone else unless the law requires it, or you have asked us to put you in touch with a partner.

How long we keep it

• Website visit data: kept by Cloudflare and Google under their own short retention periods; we do not store it.
• Emails and correspondence: kept for up to 6 years after our last contact, then deleted.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete
• ask us to delete your information
• object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
• ask us to transfer it to you or another organisation

To use any of these rights, email collaborate@cardiometabolic.foundation. We will respond within one month and there is no charge.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
