Privacy policy
CLA considers that the lawful and correct treatment of personal information is important in maintaining confidence between those with whom we deal and ourselves.
CLA treats personal information lawfully and correctly. To this end CLA fully endorses and adheres to the principles of data protection, as set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
Specifically, personal information:
- shall be processed fairly and lawfully
- shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes
- shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive
- shall be accurate and where necessary, kept up to date;
- shall not be kept longer than is necessary
- shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under the Act
- shall be kept secure
- shall not be transferred to countries without adequate protection
Personal data is only collected through the CLA website for the purpose of processing licence applications, publication requests and answering queries. CLA's website does not store or capture personal information, but merely logs the user's IP address (Internet Protocol: standard allowing data to be transmitted between two devices) which is automatically recognised by the web server.
