Who is responsible for your data?

Cut The Knot is the data controller for information collected through this website and its community registration form. For privacy questions or requests, contact us through the CTK community channels.

What we collect

We collect the information you provide when registering, including your email address and any message about what you would like from the community. We may also receive basic technical information, such as cookie preferences and anonymised site-usage data.

Why we use it

We use registration details to send CTK event invitations, community updates, and to understand what conversations are useful to members. If you separately opt in to the Dream Mechanic newsletter, we use your email for that newsletter too. We do not sell personal data.

Our legal basis

We process your registration information on the basis of your consent and our legitimate interest in operating a relevant, well-organised professional community. You can withdraw consent for communications at any time.

How long we keep it

We keep your information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or until you ask us to remove it, unless a longer period is required by law.

Your GDPR rights

You may ask to access, correct, erase, restrict, or receive a portable copy of your personal data. You may also object to processing or withdraw consent. You have the right to complain to the relevant data-protection authority if you believe your rights have not been respected.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to operate the website and may use optional analytics or third-party services to understand usage and protect forms. You can accept or decline optional cookies through the notice shown on this website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
