UCS collects and processes personal data needed to operate the website, accounts, invite activation, Google sign-in, member access, education, committees, events, uploads, moderation, security, analytics, and communications. Data may include name, email, credentials or authentication tokens, invite status, membership category, qualification, affiliation, participation records, messages, uploaded materials, comments, technical logs, device/browser data, cookie preferences, analytics events, and security records. UCS is not designed to collect full patient records; clinical materials must be de-identified and submitted only with a lawful basis and required consent. Data may be processed on the basis of consent, performance of a request or agreement, legal obligations, vital interests, legitimate organizational interests, or another lawful basis. UCS may share data with authorized personnel, committee members under confidentiality duties, hosting/security providers, email and communication tools, Google sign-in if selected, analytics providers where permitted, advisers, program partners, and authorities where required. UCS does not sell personal data. Data is retained only as reasonably necessary unless longer retention is required for legal, security, audit, governance, patient-safety, or evidence purposes. Users may request access, correction, deletion where available, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent through the contact email.
